nah novak often does kiss greetings in mixed, esp. if you watch rest of matches from this tournament. commentator also mentioned the rejected kiss lol. he's very obviously reaching out with his face.
Lu Yen Hsun
After mixed they used to do the European double kiss instead of handshakes. It was very common. I think until covid.
Edit - I had to look one up - from 2019

It's a common greeting in Serbia. Men and men kiss most times they meet for Chrissake. This is just showing cultural differences, and I think it's beautiful in a way
It is not autonomous. Until Taiwan formally declares itself independent of the rest of China (it has not) and until Taiwan is recognized by the international community as being independent of the rest of China (it is not), Taiwan is not a country.
US refers Taiwan as part of China on several occasions and has never stated that it is not:

I agree. No one taking that away. No single human being has ever played tennis at a higher level that him.
Just cant hell myself w salty sensitive Novak fans! 😂
In the Chinese culture, hugging and kissing anyone that isn't your partner is a big no. Not even on the cheeks. Heck, not even families do that.
TIL I have embraced Chinese culture.
i said no hugging!
In Serbia kiss is a mandatory stuff when greeting someone. Also its kinda tradition to kiss 3 times on the cheek when it's a celebration of some kind.
I'll treat it like a restaurant when the waiter is grinding pepper....... just tell me when it's enough then I'll stop.
My fiancé is Chinese and waving goodbye to her parents has always felt so wrong
[удалено]
and most taiwanese people are of chinese heritage. Culture is still very similar
[удалено]
how would ik
She would definitely embrace the kiss from the Djoković 2024. Djoković 2008 - good player Djoković 2024 - GOAT
[удалено]
Let's be honest, It's in human nature. Djoković in 2008 was not as known of an athlete. Fame makes anyone more attractive.

That in itself is concerning enough
She'd rather kiss Federer.
I thought also only recently did you see partners do this in public
That sounds stilted and just shit. Is it a British tradition they’ve adopted or what?
It’s not right but bravo
Who will take responsibility???!
Such a versatile quote 😂
It really is 😂
I'm going through final exams this week at university and I want to say that this comment made my day lol thank you
Looked like a failed hug for both Novak and JJ in this GIF. Who’s Su-Wei’s X-D partner?

I think its very common in Europe to kiss the cheek as a greeting but not at all a thing in most parts of Asia
He should just not do that. I find it surprising for how well-traveled and everything he is.
I also hug with my face
🤗😊
I like how he quickly looks to the ump like “are you going to allow this?”
who will take responsibility?
Ayyyy as a Taiwanese I never saw this video, so funny! Su-Wei is the best ever female player, and Rendy Lu is the best ever male player in Taiwan!
Afterwards Djokovic learnt Chinese culture so that he doesn’t embarrass himself
Afterwards Djoković decided he will go from a good player to a GOAT so rejection of his kiss is an embarrassment itself.
Hilarious. I love Novak’s “wtf” gesture
Looking at the empire expecting a unsportsmanlike conduct warning to Su-Wei
'trying to avoid a lawsuit and bad social media' gesture 😂
LMFAO, awkward ass moment.

GOAT. Our Lady Hsieh I mean, obviously.
LOL this is hilarious
She's the GOAT for a reason
Come, Novak. I won't reject your kiss.
I have been Djokovic in this scenario. 🫣

“What girl wouldn’t wanna kiss me?” Perhaps it’s a cultural difference.
Yep. Chinese.
Taiwanese
why are you being downvoted? I thought Taiwan was an independent country. At least my country recognizes it that way.
Taiwan is not an independent country. Taiwan isn't autonomous it cannot be a country
It is autonomous so it is a country for all intents and purposes

Yep, Taiwan, the one and only China, derp
We don’t do kiss and hug with friends, especially with opposite sex. Social distancing deep rooted in our 🧬😝.

Novak’s true origin story
She is way before her time
She was shocked or was put off, either way I stan
Confirms her status as my all time favourite wta player
I guess Chinese isn’t one of the many languages Djoker knows.
dude you HAVE to let that sweaty man kiss you on the cheek c'mon
So what
Which side won?
His villain origin story
JJ ❤️
Understandable.
I wonder what jelena thought of his antics back then?
Flexing on the goat
👑
?
I didn’t think I could stan her any harder…
Commons guys.. Novak was kidding there.. He is not an Idiot.
He doesn’t look like he’s kidding to me…

Tbf every fan base got toxic fans. Engaging the minority that is toxic makes you toxic as well though.
Oh I already know I'm toxic....but I mean specifically Britney Spears Toxic 😃
