Djokovic celebrates his pupil, Mihailo Topic's, win

Published Dec 16, 2018

Novak Djokovic has been mentoring a lucky nine-year-old Serbian tennis player named Mihalio Topic. Just a few months ago, the young star played in and won his first tournament in the 10-and-under age division. The World No. 1-ranked Djokovic was even there to cheer him on, while Topic often shares his support for his fellow Serbian.

There relationship has only gotten stronger as Djokovic made another appearance for Topic's second tournament victory.

Given how well-developed the youngster's strokes already look, the future is looking bright for Serbian tennis.

Topic looks like he's trained to imitate Djokovic's playing style, and the resemblance is uncanny.

Djokovic ended the year on top after winning Wimbledon, Cincinnati, the US Open and Shanghai.
