Novak Djokovic is considered a passionate skier. Tournament organizer Herwig Straka presented him with a handcrafted pair of skis as a welcome gift. Djokovic was also invited to come skiing in Tyrol. Benjamin Raich, double Olympic champion, has announced himself as a ski partner for a day on the slopes. An offer that he will not refuse, as Djokovic stated in his press conference after the win against Dennis Novak. There will be no surprises: Djokovic said he had already spoken to Benni Raich on the phone.
The 20-time major winner thanked Raich for the stay in Tyrol and the excursion offer. Djokovic, who has now earned around $ 155 million in prize money alone, was particularly happy about it.
“I got a voucher that I can come back to Austria and ride with Benjamin Raich, an Olympic champion. This is something that I definitely won’t be missing out on. I talked to him about it yesterday and we agreed on the ski trip.
