What does Novak Djokovic’s violin celebration at Wimbledon mean?
Over the weekend, the father-of-two revealed to Serbian media that his post-match celebration, which involved miming playing the violin, was a tribute to his daughter.
Djokovic explained that his six-year-old daughter, Tara, had recently started violin lessons, and he had promised to honour her progress in this unique way.
This gesture first puzzled many online, prompting questions about its significance.
However, Djokovic clarified, “That was for Tara.
“My daughter has been playing violin for some time already, six months, and we agreed that I would celebrate that way.”
The tennis star and his wife Jelena Djokovic have two children.
Their first child, Stefan, was born in October 2014, while their daughter, Tara, was born in September 2017.
What has Novak Djokovic said about his violin celebration?
According to talkSPORT, Djokovic expressed his desire for a signature celebration, explaining, “I had always wanted a trademark celebration of my own.”
When asked about any celebratory gestures from other athletes he admired, Djokovic enthusiastically listed several icons: “[Usain] Bolt! [Cristiano] Ronaldo and that ‘sui’, I also like [Andre] Agassi’s waving with a kiss when he bows.”
He continued to detail the inspirations drawn from various sports, “Guga [Gustavo Kuerten] at Roland Garros with heart, [Jo-Wilfried] Tsonga had that interesting football one, there are interesting ones, [Jude] Bellingham, it simply spreads its arms, [Carlos] Alcaraz did that, I did that at Roland Garros.”
Djokovic talked about the dynamic nature of these celebrations, stating, “It’s interesting and fun that we can take it from other sports, combine sports, it travels quickly through networks.”
Reflecting on his personal evolution in celebratory gestures, he noted, “Everyone has their own thing, I changed it, it depends on the moment and feelings, now I have a violin.”
He reminisced about an amusing interaction with former professional tennis player Radek Stepanek, sharing, “Stepanek was the first to do that, I was joking with him, he had that celebration, we even remembered when I played against him at the US Open in 2007 in five sets in some great heat.
“It was some crazy point, then he did it, then I responded to him with a point or two, it dates from then.”
