Novak Djokovic issues apology after being escorted out of Chinese airport

Novak Djokovic has apologised to his fans after touching down in China and missing their adoring welcome, as he was escorted out

Novak Djokovic has apologised to his Chinese supporters for failing to meet them at the airport after arriving in China to compete in the Shanghai Masters. The Serbian athlete has arrived in the country for the first time since 2019, as he bids to win his fifth title on Chinese soil.

Djokovic was stopped by fans on the streets of Shanghai and explained that he was escorted out of the airport through a different exit. As per Sportal.rs, the tennis player said: “I am in China after five years and I miss you. I’m so sorry, really sorry that we didn’t meet at the airport yesterday “I was sad when I found out, I didn’t know you were there. They took me to another exit. I hope to see many of you in Beijing or Shanghai soon. I’m excited to be in China, mostly because of you who have been following me for years. I love you, I love youDjokovic will be looking to get back to winning ways after a surprise exit in the third round of the US Open by Alexei Popyrin back in August. Despite this setback, he will be aiming to return to the top and claim his fifth title in China – and his first since 2018.

He has some time to prepare, however, as he is set to face the winner of Alex Michelsen or Yunchaokete Bu in his first match of the competition after receiving a bye into round two.
