Characterisation: Story Excerpt


Character: Novak Djokovic

It was time.

All the Serbian tennis fanatics were at the edge of their seats, everyone at the Wimbledon stadium, including all at home watching the game. It would be a tough match and we all knew it.

But Djokovic was not about to give up. Not when he had come this far and so close to the Grand Slam Finals. He looked at the scoreboard, hung his head low and then stood up to walk towards his fans.

“You guys have been the world to me, and I am not going to give up. I am going to win it for you.” His fans applauded. But deep down, the fans knew the chance was slim. He knew it too but he had to put on a brave front for the sake of all those who had come to support him. He did not want to let them down.

He stood at the clay court and looked intently at the thousands of fans, many of them had flown all the way from England just for the match. Then, the final moment came and the umpire blew the whistle.

They came to see him win. And he would do it just for them.



Thank you.
