With 19 Grand Slam titles to his name, Novak Djokovic cuts a popular figure almost everywhere around the world. While he may have struggled to break into the fan domination of the pair of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, the World No.1 has earned himself a considerable following, especially in the Eastern European/Asian region. Coming into the tennis world as a hot-headed and easily angered youngster, Djokovic's transformation into his current, mostly calm self has been well documented. The Serb has been open about his journey with meditation and spirituality over the years and how they have helped him become a better player as the Djokovic Grand Slams count now stands at 19.

Eagle-eyed fans spot paintings of Indian god at the Djokovic house

While his physical fitness has improved a hundredfold since his early days on the tour, the one thing that has helped Novak Djokovic separate himself from the crowd has been his mental strength. As was obvious from the Djokovic French Open 2021 final win - where he came back from two sets down - the mental fitness the champion has is second to none on the ATP tour. A deeply spiritual person, Djokovic is a huge proponent of activities like meditation and yoga and can often be seen meditating on court in between points.

If this wasn't enough to make him one of the favourites of the Indian tennis crowd, an eagle-eyed fan has spotted a rather curious Indian painting in the Serbian's house. Taking note of an old children's day picture from 2018, fans have pointed out that Djokovic has a massive framed painting of Lord Krishna on a wall in his house. While it is unknown whether it is simply for aesthetic purposes or if Djokovic follows the teachings of the Hindu god, the picture has sure earned him massive brownie points from fans in India.
