Aryna Sabalenka offered a lighthearted apology to Novak Djokovic after crossing his practice court at Wimbledon. The exchange occurred as both players prepared for the tournament.
Sabalenka stepped onto the court while Djokovic was practicing. He playfully requested an apology, saying, “No, sorry, no nothing, I’m stepping on your court, no nothing, it’s ok.”
Sabalenka responded with a full bow and replied, “So sorry, Mr Legend.” The moment highlighted the friendly rapport between the two players.
Djokovic’s daughter Tara is a fan of the world No. 1 Sabalenka. Their interactions have included dance routines at Roland Garros and previous banter at Wimbledon.
Both players face challenging paths at the All England Club. Djokovic opens against Wu Yibing, while Sabalenka faces Teodora Kostovic.
