The best tennis player in the world, Novak Djokovic, after the victory over the German Alexander Zverev 6: 3, 7: 6 and the placement in the semifinals of the London Masters Final, spoke about the blessed Serbian Patriarch Mr. Irinej, who died at the 91 years for a coronavirus infection.
– 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 people come out of this situation with the wisest and most intelligent crown. 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 their life in an hour. But the soul is eternal and I am sure that those who have dedicated their lives to the eternal kingdom will live forever! – said Djokovic.
