In the case of Novak Djokovic, that means missing his daughter Tara&rsquo;s birthday almost every year.

That&rsquo;s quite a turnaround for a player who was once treated like a villain due to his almost machine-like efficiency. However, part of the reason for this turnaround is Djokovic&rsquo;s growing playfulness at the tail-end of his career. That was visible again when the 38-year-old pulled out some great dance moves after qualifying for the semi-finals of the US Open. Earlier, everyone thought that was the Djoker just being, well, the Djoker. But there was a deeper reason behind it.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">For Tara.

A blockbuster movie that is breaking global records on Netflix. Djokovic did the steps of &ldquo;Soda Pop,&rdquo; a hit song from that movie&rsquo;s album that is topping the global music charts. Certainly, that&rsquo;s a wholesome gift and should make his daughter&rsquo;s mood slightly.

Interesting, as in, she doesn&rsquo;t really love it per her father. She has been spotted multiple times in Novak Djokovic&rsquo;s matches, but sometimes she doesn&rsquo;t even root for him. For instance, Djokovic once hilariously revealed that his daughter Tara was a fan of Andrey Rublev because she loves his energy and headband.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Novak Djokovic&rsquo;s daughter showing the Wimbledon crowd how to pump it up after her dad&rsquo;s win &#128514;<br><br>Adorable &#129401;<br><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kD7ESqATRX\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/kD7ESqATRX<\/a><\/p>&mdash; The Tennis Letter (@TheTennisLetter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheTennisLetter\/status\/1941574381790261438?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 5, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Then, in 2024, Tara once again came into the news after a video of her reading a book while watching Djokovic&rsquo;s match went viral.

Baseball, Tennis, and Football (or Soccer) have been closest to my heart. From Rafael Nadal\\'s never-say-die attitude to Roger Federer\\'s beautiful backhand, I\\'ve seen it all. Prior to the Playoffs, I\\'ve worked in EssentiallySports and Pro Football and Sports Network.\u00a0\u00a0 My only goal is the cover the sport not just from the lens of a journalist but also a fan. Perhaps that\\'s why I love indulging in some fun banter and always try to inculcate a debate through my work.
