Novak Djokovic’s presence at the Church of Holy Trinity in Brunswick, Melbourne, during the Christmas liturgy on January 7 was heartwarming for the Serbian community there.

After attending the service, he patiently waited in line with fellow worshippers to receive his piece of holy bread, a tradition in Orthodox Christianity.

The Serbian tennis star stood humbly among the faithful, listening to the sermon before receiving the sacred leavened bread, known as prosforo in Greek and naforu in Serbian.

This gesture highlights his strong connection to his faith and heritage, making a meaningful impression on the Serbian parishioners in the area.

Nick Kyrgios has announced he’s suffering from an abdominal strain that will prevent him from playing Novak Djokovic in an exhibition match just before the Australian Open begins.

The shock reveal on Wednesday morning will give his fans bad memories of the lead-up to the 2023 Grand Slam in Melbourne, when the star was forced to withdraw from the tournament after aggravating a knee injury during a charity match against the Serbian superstar.

‘Unfortunately, I won’t be able to play my good friend @djokernole this Thursday on the 9th as I’ve had an ultrasound on my abdominal strain and have a grade 1 strain,’ Kyrgios wrote on Instagram.

‘Will be resting and doing everything I can to be ok by the AusOpen.’
