Novak Djokovic keeps some impressive company both on and off the court. Though even when faced with friends, the Grand Slam legend doesn’t hold back when it’s time to compete.
Over the weekend, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., shared a snapshot on social media of himself with Djokovic after they played a friendly match. Kennedy’s post read, “Novak Djokovic. First in tennis. First in integrity. First in courage. Guess who won this match?” Accompanying the message was a playful nod toward the Serbian star’s prowess on the court.
It’s probably safe to bet the victory went to Djokovic—the holder of a staggering 99 career titles. Returning to the Miami Open for the first time since 2019, Djokovic hasn’t just been playing tennis. He’s also been spotted mingling with music icons Marc Anthony and Jon Bon Jovi at the event.
Historically, tennis has always had a knack for drawing in influential figures, capturing the interest and participation of political figures notably in the U.S. It’s a trend that continues with Djokovic’s recent interactions, seamlessly blending sport with high-level camaraderie.
