I want to explore India which has so much history, and so much culture: Djokovic
As Novak Djokovic targets his 25th Grand Slam title, he expressed his admiration for India and elaborated on his intentions to revisit the country. Reflecting on his last trip a decade ago, the legendary Tennis star also conveyed a strong desire to delve into India's abundant history, culture, and spirituality.
"I have been to India only once so far in my life. It was, I think, 10 or 11 years ago. I came to play an exhibition event in New Delhi for two days. It was a very short stay. So, I really hope that I will be able to come back in the near future because I have a great desire, great wish to explore your beautiful country that has so much history, so much culture to offer to the world and spirituality as well. It's amazing," shared Djokovic.
