People recognize me on the street, Serbia is a tennis country

The Canadian had only words of praise for the hospitality he encountered in Serbia.

“I like Serbia because I see that a lot of people follow tennis, they even recognize me on the street. People are friendly. I know this is a tennis country because of Novak Djokovic and other Serbian players. It’s nice to see many people in the stands and all those who love sports and support athletes. As for Belgrade, it is definitely a beautiful city, I feel great here. I’ve been walking a bit these days. I saw a lot of new buildings, the city is changing, I like it,” Shapovalov explained.
