In a skit, Nedeljkov pretended to be the Serb&#8217;s new Balkan tennis coach, leading to a coaching routine that involved a comical dance and more.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"1\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_1\">Djokovic most recently participated in the 2024 Davis Cup, securing victories against Greece&#8217;s Ioannis Xilas in singles and then teaming up with Hamad Medjedovic for a doubles win over the Greek duo of Aristotelis Thanos and Petros Tsitsipas. With these wins, he helped Serbia secure a spot in the tournament&#8217;s qualifying round which will be played in 2025.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"2\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_2\">After his Davis Cup appearance, the Serb took part in the Postbank Visa Tennis Gala exhibition match in Sofia, Bulgaria, on September 17. He faced off against\u00a0Grigor Dimitrov\u00a0but lost 6-4, 2-6, [10-6] to the Bulgarian.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"3\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_3\">Comedian Milos Nedeljkov attended the exhibition match and later shared a comedic sketch on social media featuring himself as Novak Djokovic&#8217;s coach. The sketch showed Nedeljkov assisting the 24-time Grand Sam champion with his training and then doing a dance routine.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"4\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_4\"><strong><em>Watch the video here :<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"instagram\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DAEPGr2tno0\/embed\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportskeeda.com&amp;rp=%2Ftennis%2Fnews-watch-novak-djokovic-gets-coached-new-balkan-tennis-coach-breaks-dance-hilarious-skit%3Fkey1%3Dnewsnowltennis#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2586.100000023842%2C%22ls%22%3A562.3999999761581%2C%22le%22%3A2575.899999976158%7D\" height=\"881\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p data-idx=\"5\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_5\">Nedeljkov also shared a series of pictures of him with both Djokovic and Dimitrov at the\u00a0exhibition match.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;First day in Bulgaria with 2 Balkan Legends! \ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddec \ud83c\uddf7\ud83c\uddf8 (I was glad it was! @djokernole &amp; @grigordimitrov),&#8221; Nedeljkov captioned his Instagram post.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"instagram\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-1\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DADk002tNLg\/embed\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportskeeda.com&amp;rp=%2Ftennis%2Fnews-watch-novak-djokovic-gets-coached-new-balkan-tennis-coach-breaks-dance-hilarious-skit%3Fkey1%3Dnewsnowltennis#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A2588.899999976158%2C%22ls%22%3A562.3999999761581%2C%22le%22%3A2575.899999976158%7D\" height=\"881\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Novak Djokovic: &#8220;Not chasing a place on the ATP list nor the Final Masters, I finished my career in other tournaments&#8221;<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Novak Djokovic [Source: Getty]\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg 1920w\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/09\/2102e-17267613202510-1920.jpg?w=640\" \/><figcaption>Novak Djokovic [Source: Getty]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-idx=\"6\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_6\">During a recent press conference,\u00a0Novak Djokovic\u00a0expressed that he is no longer fixated on chasing world rankings or securing his spot in the season-ending tournament, the ATP Finals.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"7\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_7\">The Serb stated that he believes he has already achieved everything he wanted to in those tournaments, and he is uncertain if he will participate in them in the future.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I am not chasing a place on the ATP list, nor the Final Masters.
