Following the match against Aleksandar Zverev and the victory that led him to the semifinals, Novak Djokovic spoke to Serbian journalists about the recently deceased patriarch.

– May the earth be easy for him and may he rest in peace. My condolences to his family and to all the faithful. We had several meetings, I had the honor of receiving from him the Audrey of San Sava. It’s really sad that we lost two such important people in less than a month. Amfilohije in Montenegro and now the patriarch. I don’t know what I could add except that it is always sad news when someone loses their life. Then you probably understand some things that a person leaves behind. I hope that people in this situation with the crown come out wiser and smarter.

We always say that our health and our family come first, and we do not live by those postulates. I always remind myself of what is important, because situations like this show that a person loses his life in an hour. But the soul is eternal, and those who have dedicated their lives to the eternal kingdom, I am sure, will live forever.
