The No. 4 seed is competing in China for the first time since 2019. In reflecting on his latest excursion, Djokovic was excited to uncover a happy accident at one of the locations he posed at.
“China has incredible history and tradition and culture, so we (tried) to combine that with kind of a modern touch and I hope people like it. It was fun because, we didn’t know at the time, but one of the photos was done in front of the sign that actually meant hot pot. I think it was quite fitting for me, sleeveless, to be in front of that sign,” he shared.
In his next match, Djokovic takes on Roman Safiullin. The Russian battled past 13th seed Frances Tiafoe in a deciding tiebreaker.
