Novak Djokovic has conquered tennis like no other. At 36 years old, he is still the undisputed king, and everything he achieves from now on will be a record. The Djoker confirmed that till the young generation decisively takes over tennis, he would continue dominating the sport. The Serb even received his debut Ryder Cup invitation after his tremendous success. The World No.1 admitted that he cannot hit pars as easily as he hits aces. But the Serb is not an alien to golf, as he plays it occasionally. So, when he received the invite, he practiced a good few times to do a decent job at it.

Djoker’s arch-rival, Rafael Nadal, is a relatively better golf player and shares a great bond with the legendary Tiger Woods. So, when Djokovic’s team excelled at the event, Rafa shared his admiration for the world to join him in cheering for Team Europe.

The Spaniard is planning a comeback next year, and fans eagerly await watching their favorite rivals play against each other for the last time. The tennis world is in for another shatter as Nadal’s retirement lurks around the corner. Days after receiving flak for not congratulating Djoker on his 24th Slam, the former World No.1 appreciated the Serb’s Team Europe.

After Team Europe exerted dominance over Team US, the official Instagram handle of the Ryder Cup shared a short clip of Team Europe returning from the play. The caption read, “End of an incredible day.” Nadal shared the post to his Instagram story supporting his continent and captioned it with four clapping emoticons and the European Union flag.

Since the Ryder Cup is an All-Star event, Djokovic met G.O.A.T.s from other sports and offered glimpses of his experience on his social media. The Serb hung out with the former NFL star Gareth Bale, F1 racer Carlos Sainz, and a 6-time DP World tour champion, Tommy Fleetwood, and even requested a picture with the Golfer. Team Europe is continuing its reign after Day 1’s clean sweep. Europe and the US scores stand at 6.5-1.5, respectively.

Nadal and Djoker are Team Europe loyalists, be it in golf or tennis. As Europe lost by a considerable margin at the Laver Cup, the Ryder Club’s dominance was a massive relief for the teams and the Serb, who was a part of last year’s Team Europe. The All-Star event served as a perfect getaway for Djokovic as he had the time of his life and even offered his fans a rare goofy side of him.

Novak Djokovic blends tennis and golf in a hilarious substitute

The 24-time Slam champion practiced for months to not embarrass himself in front of the crowd. Novak Djokovic played an exhibition match in Rome, and the All-Star event was an unexpected scheduling in his calendar that turned out to be a ‘once in a lifetime experience.’ The Serb initially had fun as he held his racket to make par in a pose that resembled a cricketer hitting the ball.

In the Ryder Cup, Team Europe is a few inches closer to the win, and the tennis star also achieved a personal record in golf. He pushed his limits to hit a 260-yard remarkable shot and called it ‘sporting greatness’ as he felt the home crowd’s support. As Djokovic attended the All-Star event in an unforeseen circumstance, he took a further break from tennis.

The Serb skipped the Asian tournaments and will return to participate in the Paris Masters and the ATP Finals. However, the crucial event comes at the end of November, during which the Davis Cup deciding matches shall occur. Serbia has won the cup once, and Djokovic aims to bring another title home.
