Djokovic turns paparazzi in athletes’ village
BEIJING, Aug 11: Novak Djokovic has been playing the part of the paparazzi in the Olympic Village, grabbing snaps of other athletes.
While Roger Federer was forced out of the athletes’ village last week after being constantly hounded by fellow Olympians wanting their picture taken with the world number one, the Serbian tennis player has settled comfortably into village life.
“It’s true, I see people like Kipketer, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming, all the top athletes in the world,” he said, following his 6-4, 6-4 first round win over American Robby Ginepri on Monday.
“So, yes, I do ask them for pictures because for me this is the memory which is going to stay in my life forever.”—Reuters
