Novak Djokovic getting his mind blown actually blew someone else’s mind at the Milan-Cortina Olympics.
Djokovic, sitting alongside his wife Jelena and watching the figure skating team competition, was visibly captivated by 21-year-old phenom Ilia Malinin, who sparked the United States to Olympic gold.
Malinin, all the rage in the first few days of these Winter Olympics, appreciated the fact that a tennis GOAT was so moved by the backflip that he landed during his performance.
“I did see Djokovic, it’s so unreal,” Malinin said after his skate. “I heard that after I landed my backflip, he had his hands over his head. That’s incredible. That’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment: Seeing a famous tennis player watching my performance… I’m absolutely blown away.”
