Small gifts get the friendship - Novak Djokovic and Babsi Schett on Wednesday in Melbourne

Anyone who is invited to the studio at the big Eurosport tournaments to chat with Mats Wilander and Babsi Schett has usually just won a match. And after Novak Djokovic celebrated quite a few victories, a really nice relationship grew between Schett in particular and the record winner in Melbourne. With all due journalistic distance, of course.

Now, however, Mats Wilander is hardly there anymore, but Babsi Schett is. As is currently the case in Australia. After all, the Tyrolean tennis goddess has lived there for many years.

Tournament day after tournament day, the former top ten player takes the players' confessions after their matches. And after his smooth victory against Andrey Rublev, it was up to Novak Djokovic to reward Schett for her efforts: with a bouquet of flowers including a personal dedication.

On the one hand, this was of course long overdue. On the other hand, it is also an expression of the very best mood that Djokovic has built up in Melbourne. A man can be so generous when he knows that nothing more can happen to him on the road to his tenth title.
