Wimbledon tennis champion Novak Djokovic has received a rapturous welcome in his native Serbia the day after winning the title.

温布尔顿网球冠军诺瓦克·德约科维奇归国之后收到了故乡人民的热烈欢迎。

A smiling Djokovic and his team were given an open-top bus tour from Belgrade airport escorted by a dozen police vehicles.

Outside parliament, tens of thousands of fans cheered as their hero raised a replica¹（复制品） of the famous trophy²（奖品，战利品） .

Djokovic, 24, beat Spain's Rafael Nadal in Sunday's final.

"You made this day the best day of my life," Djokovic told the screaming crowd.

"He is the pride of Serbia and [the] Serbian people," said one teenage girl who had travelled some 80km (50 miles) to Belgrade from the town of Novi Sad.

"Lucky is the mother that gave birth to such a hard-working and gifted boy," said onlooker³（旁观者，观众） Milorad Veselinovic.

Many of those gathered in Nikola Pasic Square carried Serbian flags and banners reading "Nole we love you" and "Nole the king" referring to Djokovic's nickname.

Djokovic guaranteed his place as world number one when he beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the last four at Wimbledon.

He followed up by outplaying defending champion Nadal 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 on centre court on Sunday.
