Goosebumps with the welcome for Djokovic on his return to China

Carlos Navarro - 30 Sep 2026
Djokovic and an impressive and thrilling return to the court.

Novak Djokovic has always had a wonderful relationship with the audience in China. It has been one of the places where he has felt the affection and love of the public the most, and this is demonstrated in every major matchup he has had on Asian soil, as well as in his impressive winning streak in places like Beijing.

The ATP Beijing 2026 has been the event chosen by the Serbian to return to the circuit: who knows if with the promise of being a final dance in one of the destinations where he has always received the most love, or simply as a starting point to build an ultra-competitive Nole once again. Either way, in the tournament where he boasts an impressive unbeaten streak of 29 wins and 0 losses, Djokovic is not just another player... and the Chinese audience clearly demonstrated that.

The stunning welcome for Djokovic in Beijing: goosebumps

With a long introduction, a great light show, and the roar that accompanies a superstar. That’s how Nole stepped onto the court in what is now his official return to competition, in a scene that sends shivers down the spine. Before facing Nuno Borges in his debut, Novak once again felt the love of the audience... at a moment when it seems more necessary than ever.

After the setback at the US Open 2026, moments like this will undoubtedly breathe life into a wounded and touched but not defeated beast. It remains to be seen how competitive he will be in Beijing and if there are chances to maintain that impressive unbeaten streak, but what hasn't changed after so long away from this tournament is that the Chinese capital still considers him one of their own. And so, with that magnificent sight and a video that gives you goosebumps, Djokovic was introduced back into society in his return to competition. The results? We will follow them in the coming days.
