Novak Djokovic joked about switching sports and bringing his talents to cycling with a call out to the kingpin of that respective sport in Tadej Pogacar.
The 37-year-old who will return at the US Open after recently being crowned Olympic champion called out the man of the moment in the form of the 2024 Giro d'Italia and 2024 Tour de France Winner.
"Back in training. Setting new goals. Next stop, Tour de France," he captioned the video training on the bike in the forest and showing a good turn of speed once he realised the camera was on him. "I'm coming for you, Tadej Pogacar," he joked.
But it seems like they may come together for this mission. "I have a challenge: You return my serve in tennis I'll try to follow you up the mountain in a 100m sprint. He can?" said Djokovic translated from Serbian.
To which Pogecar wrote back also Moze which means he can. So maybe the two kingpins of their respective sports may combine to challenge each other. Who knows.

- Anti-Social media has no guardrails... and the Lowest Common Denominators are free to demean and denounce anyone, any time; and obviously do so on a daily basis. Why? Because thus far, given the lack of oversight (much less control) over these public immorally bankrupt entities, there is little-to-no possibility of legal repercussion.

Unless this woman is running for office she doesn't get -- nor deserve -- the opportunity to literally reinvent what she plainly said the first time. She's no longer a tennis player, does not represent the sport, and should therefor refrain from meaningless drivel and snottyass remarks about her former colleagues.mandoist11-09-2024
- How is it not clear to pro tennis Elitists in charge that flooding the sport with more and more tournaments is NOT the answer? Such decisions made through PURE GREED disguised as "offering more up & coming players a chance to compete". This sport is, at the very foundation, a Business. Any corporate entity should know by now that introducing too many 'franchises' to a limited market is counterproductive to say the very least? And let us not forget the Top Athletes cannot be everywhere week-to-week no matter how much money the tourneys throw at them. Therefor you get a situation such as the US Open missing out on the Best-of-the-Best. Simple economics -- and definitely common sense -- seems to be lost on the WTA/ATP 'experts' in the offices.mandoist11-09-2024
