Although we have spent a day reading congratulatory messages towards Alexander Zverev after conquering Roland Garros this Sunday, there will not be many that compare to the one written by Novak Djokovic on his social media.

And that is because Novak Djokovic is special, both on and off the court. The Serbian always goes the extra mile with people he truly appreciates, which is why he took a few minutes this afternoon to write a heartfelt message remembering Alexander Zverev, his entire journey as a professional, and the reward he finally reaped at Roland Garros after a decade of trying. A text he shared on Instagram that will surely move more than one person, especially the protagonist of this story, the latest Grand Slam champion.

Reading the text carefully, one understands that we are witnessing a friendship of many years. Since the arrival of the Hamburger to the circuit and his mingling with the best, including Novak Djokovic. The Laver Cup also helped strengthen this bond over the years, experiencing countless moments together and creating an alliance that has endured over time, even above any rivalry. Well, without further ado, below you have the text from the Balkan.

Djokovic's Congratulation to Zverev after Winning Roland Garros

“Sascha, I’ve known you since you were 10 years old. I remember watching you compete against my younger brother on the practice courts while I faced your older brother, Mischa, on the big stages of the professional circuit. Throughout all this time, we have built a relationship of respect and friendship with you and your family over the years.

We've had countless conversations about tennis tactics, game strategies, life, family, or business. We've also had fun moments off the court. Being aware of all the adversities you had to handle from a young age with your illness, overcoming the biggest mental barriers to evolve and silence all those voices that claimed you would never win a Grand Slam, makes this first Grand Slam title even more special and memorable.

Seeing those tears of emotion streaming from your eyes while sharing that moment with your parents, brother, and other members of your team truly moves me. I am happy for what you have achieved; you absolutely deserve this success because you have worked very hard through every challenge to finally make it real. Enjoy it”.
