Novak Djokovic has been taking time for himself lately. The tennis star, after facing an early defeat at the Indian Wells Masters, decided to withdraw from the glorious event in Miami and therefore, sneaked out to spend time with his family. However, it seems like his desire to be playful and active has no end as he was recently seen trying his hand at a different sport.

After facing a semi-final defeat against Casper Ruud, Novak Djokovic decided to switch his racquet for a club. The world no.1 recently posted a picture in which he can be seen hitting a golf ball straight into the hole. However, the post gave out a story of more than just a regular golf practice as the Serb playfully threw a challenge at golf royalty Rory McIlroy.

“Golf day. Watch out @rorymcilroy… 😂,” wrote Djokovic in the caption, teasing the Irish athlete who also shares a friendly chemistry with the Serbian legend. This post not only gave out the Serb’s love for a different sport but also unveiled a cheeky side of his nature, which is contrary to the aggression that he maintains on the tennis courts.

As soon as the post started to attract the attention of the Serb’s followers, the ATP tour’s officials were quick to spot him. Extending the fun conversation on his post and teasing him for the absence, the official Instagram handle commented, “You out here doing it all 😮‍💨.” This added another layer of wit to the post which was meant to unveil the Serb’s vacation plans along with poking the renowned golf player in a fun way.

Therefore, this incident marked another moment where the Serb and McIlroy indulged in cheeky activities to extend the depth of their bond as well as entertain the fans.

Novak Djokovic’s failed attempt to fool McIlroy with his waiter prank

This wasn’t the first time when Novak Djokovic indulged in a fun activity with Rory McIlroy. Back when the European team gathered around in Rome for the 2023 Ryder Cup, Novak Djokovic secretly entered the arena. While everyone would expect a warm welcome from the Serb, he tweaked the scenario by dressing up as a waiter to fool the team.

The Serb’s trick successfully manipulated every other member of the team but Rory McIlroy gave true signs of friendship with Djokovic as he was the one to catch him. “It was Rory McIlroy who first spotted me. He said: ‘Can I have a glass too?”, Djokovic revealed later on.
