Imagine struggling with a heavy suitcase in a Parisian park when one of the best tennis players in the world offers to help you. The 35-year-old Djokovic went for a run in the park in the Bercy district during training when he saw a woman struggling with her luggage.
He offered to help her and carried the suitcase to her and waited for her at the end of the road. People are sharing the footage on social networks and have words of praise for the former world number one. “It’s a very stylish gesture on his part and proves that no matter who you are or how successful you are, you have to be able to stay humble,” they write.
However, some did not forget to dig into it. “Why didn’t he use wheels? I’d rather use them than break my back,” they grumble. The others explain the situation to him, saying that the wheels would be destroyed on this surface.

Djokovic’s coach Marco Panichi also shared the video on his Instagram account. “During the warm-up in the park, he left me and ran to help a lady who had a problem with her luggage and helped her to the station. Of course, training is over, but I’m still happy. Just Nol,” he stated.
The 21-time Grand Slam champion will enter the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Paris with a match against the American Cressy. Last year, he defeated Daniil Medvedev in the final to win a record sixth title from this event. He enters the tournament encouraged by the title from Astana, where he defeated the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final.
