Novak Djokovic is widely considered among the greatest players in tennis history with his incredible slam record of 17 major titles. However, he is also pretty good at playing basketball.
The Serbian champion is currently in Zadar on the occasion of the Adria Tour. Novak had the chance to spend some time with his family celebrating his wife Jelena’s birthday and he managed to train on the wonderful beaches of Zadar. Furthermore, Novak paid a visit to the local basketball team to have some fun. The world no.1 impressed with his skills playing alongside Sascha Zverev and Marin Cilic.
That’s unexpected!
