Novak Djokovic reached the second round at the US Open 2023: a victory thanks to which he returned to no.1 of the ATP ranking, also receiving praise from his wife Jelena Djokovic. In fact, Novak Djokovic's wife Jelena thanked journalist Caira Conner for praising the Serbian tennis player for an article Conner wrote in the New York Magazine Intelligencer.

Conner wrote Nole's Cincinnati win against Carlos Alcaraz was akin to meticulously studying an AI of his opponent, especially after his Wimbledon loss: "Djokovic has become a kind of freakish human algorithm, a self-learning model trained on 30 years' worth of performance data, one whose outputs have only become more responsive, and iterative, over time." Jelena Djokovic re-shared Conner's article on her X, thanking her and praising her husband Novak: "Not too bad for an oldie!

Thanks Caira!"
