Novak Djokovic raced from Centre Court to watch his beloved Serbia in Euro 2024 action on Tuesday.

The tennis superstar practiced at Wimbledon during the day as he recovers from knee surgery after pulling out of the French Open earlier this month. 

He then hot-footed it across to Munich to take his seat for Serbia’s crucial clash with Denmark, and was seen belting out the national anthem ahead of kick-off.

Serbia entered the game knowing they needed a victory to keep their hopes alive of progressing to the last-16, and Djokovic was on hand to offer his full support as he wore a Serbia shirt in the stands.

He was also happy to pose for selfies with fans as he took in the atmosphere at the Allianz Arena.

‘I didn’t come here to play a few rounds,’ said Djokovic. ‘I’m going to play if I really know. I’m going to take it day-by-day and then make a decision based on the conclusion that I and team members have made.

‘The feelings after surgery I had was always going to try to make Wimbledon, even though many people think it’s maybe not realistic or not smart.

‘My team and I know what we’re doing daily to enable me to play so I’m actually very pleased with the way I’m moving on the court considering that it’s under three weeks from the surgery.

‘I really will play only if I really know that I’m in a state which is good enough to go far in the tournament and fight for the title.’
