Serbs in panic: Kosovo is getting new Djokovic

Filip Pavic is a young Serbian tennis player who is born in Kosovo.

The great white sport talent is in the middle of two fires after it is at a great crossroads.

The 15-year-old man from Novo Brda is in the middle of choosing to represent Kosovo or Serbia.

The Serbian talent had been practicing for three years without training and adequate fields, hitting the ball wall, writes “Gazeta Express”.

And then, in his development as tennis player, he contributed an Albanian from Gjilan, who helped him with everything he needed, even removing all his expenses and sending him to Switzerland.

For this reason, his family feels indebted and feels it due to their son to represent Kosovo as he was an Albanian who helped them in the most difficult times.

Serbs have been afraid in the marrow that Serbian talent is agreeing to represent Kosovo rather than their country.

Kosovo's so-called “will take over the new Djokovic?”, has been the title of the Serbian medium “Kurir”, which has talked to protagonists.

Philip has won more than 30 shifts and is one of the best in Kosovo for the age of U-16.

He plays mainly in competitions hosting the Federation of Tennis of Kosovo.

For this, the latter considers it to be “its own”, while a last-time Swiss website wrote: “Who knows, Kosovo may have its Djokovici”.

His favorite tennis player is Novak Djokovic, who has only been able to watch it through television, due to financial opportunities to view “live”.

Goran Pavic, Philip's father, had earlier said that he and his son would seriously consider accepting the invitation of the Federation of Tennis of Kosovo, writes “Gazeta Express”.

However, he has not hidden even the imminent desire for his son to represent Serbia.

The president of the Federation of Tennis of Kosovo, Jeton Hadergjona, has confirmed that the invitation to the player could reach, and in the meantime, the Povic family has told Serbian media “Kurir” that they have lost all hopes that could achieve any assistance from Serbia.

Serbian Tennis Federation sports director Aleksandar Bolic has spoken of the case.

I have knowledge of the whole situation after I read in the media. The Pevic family has never addressed the Serbian Federation of Tennis. There were other tennis players who responded, but they never did. Tennis is a little complicated. We have the example of Croatian tennis players Ivan and Mattey Sabanov, who have played for Croatia and now for Serbia. The problem is that the Federation of Tennis of Kosovo is accepted in the European and International Federation of Tennis”, Bolic stressed.

He also cited the success of Lazar Milicevic, another Kosovo tennis talent who was part of Serbia's national team and champion.

Bocic insists that the doors of Serbia's national team to Philip have never been closed.

But he insists he needs to play several tours in Serbia.

I need to explain that absolutely the door of cooperation is not locked. We organise free tennis schools in Kosovo from two to three times a year, where we try to help as much as we can. Especially if players have quality, which we welcome. Let the Pavic family contact us, so we'd be happy to see what we can do: 8x1>, Bolic continued.

And of this highly greedy and confused situation, the Serbian media has also spoken of tennis father Goran Pavic.

He is disappointed with the Serbian Federation of Tennis and almost delivered.

For six years, I've been looking for help in various addresses. I couldn't even list the addresses I called, I wasn't ashamed of my son. People from the Serbian Tennis Federation know everything. They invited us to contact them? But how can I trust someone? There have been promises from many people, but everything comes to prevent Philip from representing Kosovo. When I don't let him go to play for Kosovo, all projects fail. Philip worked without a coach for three years, and at that time there was no place to exercise. It happened when he took the rocket and the ball hit the” wall, the father of the Serbian tennis talent shows.

It remains to be seen whether Serbian tennis player Filip Pavic will eventually decide to represent Kosovo, which was found in the most difficult days, or will choose Serbia.
