Djokovic Advocates Dance Entertainment at Australian Open

Novak Djokovic expressed his support for Danielle Collins following her cheeky response to hostile fans at the Australian Open, praising her clever and humorous approach. After facing hecklers himself, Djokovic emphasized the need for tennis to evolve and connect with younger audiences, suggesting the incorporation of entertainment during breaks, such as dancers, to make matches more engaging. He acknowledged tennis's rich history but noted that the sport has been slow to adapt to modern trends and audience preferences. Djokovic highlighted the importance of making tennis more fun, drawing comparisons to the entertainment seen in other sports like the Super Bowl and NBA. While he respects Wimbledon’s traditions, he advocates for more innovative changes in other tournaments to attract new fans.
