Later when the champ was questioned about the encounter with the fan, Djokovic said: “To have a drink. I liked the guy. I'm going to buy him a drink."

"We'll keep it between us. But he definitely helped me. He doesn't even know, but he did help me," he said adding that: "I'm not going to talk about it. I think he did me a favor. Even maybe he didn't want to do me a favor, he did me a favor, big favor."
