Eldin, told Sportal how Novak Đoković helped his son and revealed previously unknown details of the conversation with former World No. 1
Hamad Međedović is our most promising player. Tennis experts say that he is Novak Djokovic’s successor. Not even a full month has passed since he won the challenger in the German city of Ludenscheid. And how he won it: he reached the cup from the qualifiers, lost only a set, and on the way to the title he defeated tennis players who were ranked much better than him.

Međedović is a member of the Novak Tennis Academy, and his coach is Ilija Bozoljac. With the 19-year-old tennis player born in Novi Pazar, while in Belgrade, Viktor Troicki, the head coach at Novak’s academy, also sparred.
The lines before you are told from the point of view of Hamad’s father, Eldin, who revealed to Sportal how the collaboration with Novak Djokovic came about. This story confirmed what we knew: that Nole, more than a great athlete, is an extraordinary human being.
We are lucky that we ended up with Novak, thank God – Eldin Međedović, Hamad’s father, began the story for Sportal.
Then he continued:
– Novak is really trying hard for Hamad. In all ways: financially, mentally and socially. I remember another conversation with Novak. Then we specifically talked about the steps in Hamad’s career. And here, I’ll tell you honestly, I pinched myself during that conversation to convince myself that all this was happening. He was giving me ideas, what to do about Hamad, and I remember saying to him: “Nole, I’m sorry, but it all costs money!” He continues, suggests me a coach, talks about how we will do, what we will do and adds: “It’s up to Hamad to train, I’ll do the rest!” I tell him again: “Nole, it costs money!”

Eldin Međedović stopped just to take a breath:
– Then Novak told me: “Edo, I’m not doing this for money! I have a place to earn money. Simply, my role and my task is to help. What kind of person would I be if I didn’t help children who deserve it, who love tennis, still getting results, helped?” I listen to him, and he adds: “You know what we’re going to do? Tomorrow, when Hamad succeeds, you’ll also take someone whom you’ll help!”
Međedović repeated:
– I continued to pinch myself, and then I said to myself: “Hello, stop, take it easy!” That was the first time someone in the sport had said that to me. All this was a pleasant surprise for me. And suddenly… Someone becomes so close to you that you feel that you want them more than yourself because of that gesture.
Nola did not keep his promise only in words, but immediately moved into action:
– During the whole year 2021, we did not pay a dinar for all the coaches, complete trips, hotels, plane tickets, physiotherapists, masseurs, preparations that they went to together . And that’s not a small amount of money in the world of tennis. That’s a really big sum. One coach costs a lot, so where are the fitness coach, physiotherapist, courts… Imagine, the best in the world calls my child to go to training together. Imagine that! It would be like Ronaldo or Messi calling you and saying: “Let’s play football!” or “Call me if you need anything!” These things seem a bit foreign in today’s time, but thank God there are people for whom money is not everything, but humanity.
Eldin, told Sportal how Novak Đoković helped his son and revealed previously unknown details of the conversation with…
We asked dad how Hamad felt when Nole would invite him to the preparations, if he had any nervousness…
– Did all that put a little pressure on him. Well, the best in the world is calling you. He was a little nervous about Nolet. However, even there, thank God, Novak knew how to approach him. I was present when Novak came and said to him: “Where are you Medo? Where are you Hame?” so she hugs him and calls him to play a game of basketball. Novak contributed a lot to Hamad’s relaxation. When they were together on preparations in Montenegro and we talk on the phone and I ask him: “Son, how is it going with Nolet?” Hamad says everything is great, so I ask him: “Are you asking him for some advice?” and he says: “I don’t build a relationship with him like that, only a friendly one because he treats me like a friend, so I would like to be his friend too.”
On the same day that Međedović won the challenger in Germany, Djokovic played in the fourth round of Wimbledon. Hamad also revealed to Sportal that Nole was among the first to congratulate him on his success. Hamad’s father adds:
– Watch out for that, he is a champion, he plays such an important tournament and he finds time to be interested in other things. He found out that Hamad won the tournament and just before the match he found time to send a message of support. All these things say a lot about Novak Djokovic.
Hamad has the privilege of training and growing up with the best tennis players that Serbia has. That’s why Eldin highlighted two in particular – Viktor Troicki and Ilija Bozoljac.

– Viktor came to work at the Academy after his playing career and I can often say that if it wasn’t for Viktor, Hamad would have left! He brought in a lot. All of them were serious even before Troicki came, but he introduced a dose of professionalism because he went through it all, he knows everything, so you could feel the change on the field! And Ilija Bozoljac? What can I say about him? A positive man full of positive energy, a man who really wants Hamada a lot. At some moments I can say to him: “Iko, you want Hamad to succeed more than he wants himself!” Ika is an emotional person. Everything that was given to him as a gift, he passes on to Hamad, and he has succeeded a lot in that – Eldin Međedović finished the interview for Sportal.

This is Huge $300M-worth: Dale Earnhardt Jr receives back priceless piece of dad’s legacy from his former pit crew member
This is Huge $300M-worth: Dale Earnhardt Jr receives back priceless piece of dad’s legacy from his former pit crew member
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was presented with a heartwarming gift, symbolic of his father’s legacy, from Danny “Chocolate” Myers and Kirk Shelmerdine in the latest episode of Dale Jr Download. Chocolate Myers worked as a fueler for the #3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet team.
He was an integral part of the pit crew during all of Dale Earnhardt Sr’s six championship triumphs with RCR. Kirk Shelmerdine served as the crew chief of the #3 Chevy team from 1984
to 1992. In a recent episode of Dale Jr. Download, Myers presented Dale Earnhardt Jr, worth $300 million (via Celebrity Net Worth), his father’s iconic goggles as a gift.
Myers fondly reminisced how he would retrieve the goggles from the #3 Chevy every week after the race
“I got ready to come down here and I looked around and I’m going – I’ve got a couple of things right. And remember I was the guy that when we came back from the race track, went out put the car on the lift, started to get it clean and your dad would always take these off and leave them hanging on the mirror and I would always reach in and grab them. These are a pair of your dad’s goggles,” Myers said.
The former ‘Flying Aces’ RCR pit crew member further mentioned that these particular goggles were from a Daytona Duel win, which he inscribed on the strap. However, he later confessed that he forgot to
mention the year:
“I wrote on the strap when I took them out of the car ‘Winner Daytona 125’. Now unfortunately, when I wrote that on there I didn’t put what year. So these could be [from any year]… cause we won it
ten years straight man and nobody’s ever going to do that. So I wanted to give you those to hang on the wall.”
Dale Earnhardt Sr. won 10 straight duel races between 1990-99 and won 34 races at the Daytona International Speedway, including the 1998 Daytona 500 victory

This is Bad: Kevin Harvick Exposed What NASCAR is Making Chase Elliott Going Through
Chase Elliott is the last remaining representative of illustrious lineages in the world of NASCAR. Throughout the sport’s history, there have been numerous superstar drivers who come from legendary racing families, such as the Petty, Earnhardt, Wallace, and Allison families. However, over time, this trend has diminished, leaving only Hendrick Motorsports as the last stronghold of these great lineages.
While being born into a family of drivers may grant certain advantages and access, it also comes with a tremendous burden. These drivers must constantly strive to live up to the legacy and achievements of their predecessors. Chase Elliott, in particular, faces the daunting task of matching the exceptional performance achieved by his father, a former champion. For others, this bar may seem unattainable.
During a recent episode of the Happy Hour podcast with Chase Elliott, the 2014 Cup champion discussed the immense pressure that drivers like Elliott and Dale Jr. face. He expressed that this pressure is unwarranted and something these drivers cannot escape.
In the same podcast, Chase Elliott shared that his passion for racing stems from the competitive nature of the sport. He emphasized that this motivation has been a constant force in his life since childhood.
As the driver of the #9 car for Hendrick Motorsports, Elliott has already emerged from his father’s shadow and established his own legacy by winning championships. However, he still has much more to contribute to the sport and the fans who have embraced him. Undoubtedly, they would love to see him end his career as a multiple champion.
