Novak gifted his racket a young kid after winning the French Open 2021 men's singles title win against Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Djokovic  said  he's grateful to a young boy who offered vocal support and advice throughout the French Open final.

Moments after Djokovic beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in five sets, he gave his racket to the youngster in the stands, who jumped up and down in excitement at the gesture.

Djokovic says the boy shouted encouragement even when he faced a two-set deficit, and even had coaching tips.

"I found that very cute and very nice," Djokovic said. "To give the racket to the best person was him. That was my gratitude for him sticking with me."
