What did Del Potro give Djokovic before his farewell?

In the run-up to the big exhibition called ‘The last challenge’Novak Djokovic received a special gift from Juan Martin del Potro. The Serbian is the great guest in the tribute match that the Tandil native will have this Sunday at Parque Roque.

A box of personalized wines, that was the gift. Each bottle, three in total, presents a different label, a detail of the Argentinian’s special dedication to his friend.

“I know it has everything, but this is something typical Argentinian that I think you’ll like“, began the former world number 3 in the middle of a press conference, while he surprised the 24-time champion in Grand Slam tournaments live.

One of them has the image of the Balkan with the gold medal achieved this year in the Paris Olympic Gameswhere he finally got rid of the thorn to climb to the top rank for the first time in the prestigious nations event.

Another has the image of greeting on the net between both in Rio 2016an opportunity in which the winner of the 2009 US Open would make a big splash by defeating ‘Nole’ in the first round, while the last of the three corresponds purely and exclusively to his own line of wine called Resiliencewhich has a vertical stripe and began in 2024.

“The idea of ​​wine comes from a long time ago. The reason I didn’t do it before was because of tennis, I didn’t have time to get involved as fully as I am now. So I think it is an ideal moment in my life to be able to take this new step, this new adventure,” the 2016 Davis Cup winner had expressed at the time.

It should be noted that the name of the drink is not just another detail, alluding to situations that he went through on more than one occasion during his career, plagued by so many injuries and complications. “This word identifies me quite a bit. I think it can impact, because It was something that happened throughout my career, which is a bit of life itself, of obstacles, of stones that appear on the paths and you have to overcome them, you have to fall, get up, get up again and continue. And I think we find many things in common between the word resilience, my name and my career, everything that the world of tennis was for me. lThe idea is to be able to reflect in the wine”.

Before saying goodbye, the owner of 100 titles on the circuit would thank the albiceleste for such a detail, although he would leave him a concise message without further ado: “SI like it, but I don’t want to see it. I want to drink. Well we’ll take it after the game“.
