Novak Djokovic humorously acknowledged the added pressure of performing with tennis legend Roger Federer in attendance during a recent match. Speaking after his match, Djokovic lightheartedly remarked, “Probably the first time I’m playing in front of you, I had some added pressure,” while gesturing toward Federer in the stands.

Federer, who shared the viewing stands with rising star Carlos Alcaraz, seemed amused by Djokovic’s comments. The friendly exchange highlighted the camaraderie between the two tennis greats, even after Federer’s retirement from professional play.

Djokovic has often spoken about his respect for Federer, one of his greatest rivals throughout his career, and it was clear that having him in the crowd was both an honor and a challenge. Despite the playful pressure, Djokovic stayed focused, knowing the legendary presence could only push him to perform at his best.

The light-hearted moment offered fans a rare glimpse into the mutual admiration and respect between two of tennis’s most iconic players.
