World No. 1, Novak Djokovic, was awarded a trophy to mark his return to the top spot.
Djokovic is reclaiming his position in the world of professional tennis.
He, along with the world’s leading tennis stars, including Roger Federer, were given a guided tour of the iconic Houses of Parliament on Nov. 10.
John Bercow, the speaker of the House of Commons, was there to give the tour to the players.
In addition to the guided tour, the players also attended a pre-show party at Westminster before the tournament started.
While they were there, Djokovic was given a trophy to congratulate him on his return to top spot in the Tennis world.
“It feels great. Obviously you always have to kind of believe in yourself and I did. I never thought it was impossible, that it is quite improbable, it is going to happen this quickly, especially five or six months ago. I mean I was 22 in the world and, more than the ranking, I was not feeling great on the court and I was kind if still recovering from that surgery and injury that has compensated my game. So the whole confidence level was also disturbed and it took time to really build everything and once the grass court season started, actually it all started here, in London at Queen’s. I played a great tournament there and then won Wimbledon, obviously, and that has been a catalyst for all that has happened after that,” said Djokovic.
The world’s leading tennis stars will compete in the ATP world tour final on Nov. 12.
