Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic’s warm friendship has produced plenty of amusing moments, from their dance battles at the French Open to witty banter on social media. The duo put their camaraderie on display with another humorous exchange at Wimbledon, as the Serb playfully demanded an apology from Sabalenka.
After a disappointing third-round exit at the French Open, Djokovic has been gearing up to rebound at Wimbledon with the aim of finally clinching his record-extending 25th Grand Slam ******* le. During his recent practice session at the All England Club, the Serb took mock offense after Sabalenka walked across his court without offering an apology.
After Djokovic voiced his complaint, the world No. 1 responded with a tongue-in-cheek apology, complete with an exaggerated bow.
“No sorry, no nothing. I’m sorry for stepping on your court. No nothing. It’s okay,” Djokovic said.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Legend,” Sabalenka responded.
