Novak Djokovic jokes with Lewis Hamilton after seeing his childhood t-shirt

The seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton loves to play tennis, enjoy the practice sessions with his dad or friends, and follow the world's finest players.
When the Mercedes driver shared a childhood picture of him wearing a tennis t-shirt, it drew a lot of attention from the world of tennis, including the world's best player and one of the finest coaches.
The 20-time Major champion Djokovic liked a little racquet on the t-shirt, cracking a joke and thanking Lewis for not choosing a tennis career. Knowing how dedicated and hard-working Lewis is, Novak believes that he would have been very successful on the tennis court and challenge him and other top-tier competitors for notable titles.
Patrick Mouratoglou has been working with Serena Williams since 2012, owning a prestigious tennis Academy and helping many young talents find their way towards the top. Like Novak, Patrick celebrated the t-shirt and said that Lewis' parents have a good taste for the sport.
"I love the t-shirt you got in your photo as a boy. By the way, good that you chose car racing instead of tennis. Otherwise, we all would be in trouble," Novak Djokovic said.
"Nice t-shirt as a kid! Your parents have a good taste for sport," Patrick Mouratoglou said.

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
