Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic, who draws inspiration from other athletes for his celebrations, chose to imitate Jude Bellingham.
Jude Bellingham took his career to new heights by signing with Real Madrid. The English international midfielder, who joined Casa Blanca this summer from Borussia Dortmund for a fee estimated at 103 million euros, has already found the net 17 times in 21 appearances for Madrid this season. Inevitably, the Stourbridge prodigy influenced several figures, including Antoine Griezmann and Novak Djokovic.
The 2018 world champion admitted taking an example from the positioning of the Three Lions playmaker “ who always comes in the second line, like Lampard did.” On the other hand, the world number 1 tennis player preferred to borrow his celebration. Indeed, last November, after his victory at the Paris-Bercy tournament, the Serbian celebrated his victory by imitating the celebration in Bellingham.
