"I drove eight hours to support him here," Seles announces her presence for the US Open semifinal between Djokovic and Alcaraz
Legend Monica Seles, a Novak Djokovic fan, will be in attendance to watch the US Open semifinal between the Serbian and Carlos Alcaraz.
In a brief interview with Sportklub, the nine-time Grand Slam winner revealed that she will be cheering for the former world No. 1 from the stands of Arthur Ashe Stadium:
"I came here to support Novak. I know he needs all the energy possible, and I will do my best to help him from the stands. No one knows what his chances are. It's like asking me what my chances were against Steffi Graf or Martina Hingis. There are many factors, but the most important thing is that Novak is fully focused.
I won't be in his box because I don't want him to change anything. I'm very superstitious. I just came to watch his match. I drove eight hours to support him here. All that matters is that he wins."
Seles also attended Djokovic's practice earlier in the morning in New York.
