Tomás Etcheverry is living unforgettable moments. After being crowned champion of the ATP Rio 2026, his first victory on the professional circuit, he has received many congratulations... but perhaps none is as exciting as the public recognition given by Novak Djokovic. The Serbian player shared the Argentine's triumph on his Instagram stories, along with a "Come on, champion!": a sensational gesture from Novak, who has always been the idol of the Argentine. In fact, one of 'Retu's' early viral moments was when he posted a sign with his first ATP point... next to the score of his idol and then world number one, Novak, and the points he needed to reach him. It's beautiful to see moments where the circle closes like this.
Even Novak Djokovic is aware of Tomy Etcheverry's title and has congratulated him on social media. Remember that 'Retu' went viral with that poster that showed his 1st ATP point and the difference with the Serbian.
