ALWAYS the joker, Novak Djokovic was a man bearing gifts after reaching the championship match at the ATP finals.
The top-ranked Serb beat Juan Martin del Potro in the semifinals of the season-ending tournament, and then handed out chocolates to thank journalists for their "cooperation throughout the whole year."
"I have a little chocolate treat for everybody," Djokovic said after answering English questions. "If you would be kind and accept my present to you."
The Australian Open champion then stepped off the podium and handed out chocolates to all who wanted one.
After each match, players are obligated to hold a news conference. Most players, including Djokovic, normally answer questions in English from the media first and then switch to their native language for journalists from their home countries.
Djokovic, who last week walked on to the court at the Paris Masters with a Darth Vader mask to celebrate Halloween, is known for his good humor. Videos of him impersonating rival players have gone viral.
"That's very nice and thoughtful," Roger Federer said. "I must say, I'm impressed."
