Djokovic Pumps Up, Loves Pumping, and Supports Protests: Tennis Legend or Political Symbol?
Novak Djokovic, the 38-year-old Serbian tennis star and seven-time Wimbledon champion, continues to dominate the London grass courts. In the second round, he easily defeated local player Daniel Evans 6-3, 6-2, 6-0, and now faces another Serbian, Miomir Kecmanović. But it’s not just his game that’s making headlines – Djokovic has become a political symbol!
Record Wins and Pumping for His Kids
Djokovic achieved his 99th Wimbledon victory, and after the win, celebrated with his famous pumping gesture towards his children. This move is not just a sports ritual – it’s a slogan of the massive protests against Aleksandar Vučić currently paralyzing Serbia. Djokovic has publicly supported these protests before, and at a press conference explained that the pumping is “something between me and my kids,” inspired by the song “Pump It Up.”
Politics On and Off the Court
When asked by journalists if the pumping has political connotations, Djokovic said it’s a personal thing but then sang part of the song “Don’t you know pump it up, you got to pump it up.” Clearly, the tennis legend uses every moment to show support for the protests, sparking a storm of reactions in the public.
Athlete or Political Activist?
While some hail Djokovic as a sports genius and a hero of the people, others criticize him for mixing sports and politics. Is this a brave move or an unnecessary meddling in political conflicts? One thing is certain – Djokovic doesn’t stop pumping, and not just on the court!
The Numbers Speak for Themselves
- 99 wins at Wimbledon
- Tied Andre Agassi’s record with 50 sets won without losing a game at Grand Slams

Conclusion
Djokovic is more than a tennis player – he’s a symbol of resistance, a voice of the people, and a pumper who doesn’t quit. Do you like this new role? Or do you think sports should stay out of politics? Drop a comment, pump up your opinion, and remember – pumping is hard to stop!
