Zlatan Ibrahimovic opens up on relationship with Novak Djokovic
In an interview, soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimovic commented on his close relationship with Novak Djokovic. Ibrahimovic only had words of praise for the Serb, whom he met at the Rolex Paris Masters in 2013. 'We're good friends, we're still in contact,' said Ibrahimovic. 'We follow each other, we see each other's success. I'm super happy for him because he came back from injury to be number one, where he belongs.'
Commenting on his tennis skills, Ibrahimovic added: 'I prefer hitting the balls with my feet, not using my hand. I did good, I stayed with my feet, on the ground. I didn't use my hands so I did the right choice. He [Djokovic] met my kids and they were super impressed by him. They don't play tennis - they do football and martial arts but they were super happy to meet him. He's a nice guy. The person you see on TV is the real person also. Some athletes, they're one thing on camera and another in real life, but this person [Djokovic], is the same in both and that's what I like about him. He's funny, a good guy, has positive vibes and easy to hang out with.'
The Swedish star is currently playing for the American Major League Soccer (MLS) club LA Galaxy, with whom he recently signed a new contract.
