Notably, among the many is fellow Olympian Luka Doncic, who might just switch courts, in a bid to catch Novak Djokovic in his semi-final clash at the Tokyo Olympics 2020.

The 22-year-old Mavericks superstar is currently in Tokyo, playing for his national side. However, the Slovenian international seems as interested in tennis as he is in basketball. In a cheeky bit, he took to his Twitter, asking the official Olympics handle how he could watch the tennis semi-finals that are currently being played behind closed doors.

Cheeky tweet from Luka

In the first semi-final clash, World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, takes on Alexander Zverev, in his quest for gold. Despite Novak’s unbelievable recent form, Alexander’s youthful exuberance cannot be taken lightly. Notably, fans believe an enthralling battle is on the cards. Hence, it is understandable why Luka would want to witness the game live, in action. Providing laughs off-court, Luka took to his Twitter and said, “Hey Olympics, how can we go watch the tennis semifinals? please help.” 

His cheeky comment tickled the funny bone of fans, who in return sent similarly hilarious responses.

Many fans even acted as Luka’s spokesperson, tweeting on behalf of him.
