Aryna Sabalenka will aim to seal a second Grand Slam title when she plays at Wimbledon in just over a week.
But she made light of the fact she only has one in meeting Novak Djokovic.
The World No.2 took a photo with Djokovic and put "24 Grand Slams in one pic" with Djokovic of course recently becoming a 23-time winner at Roland Garros.
This being a record breaking haul which has not been achieved by anyone else.
Sabalenka heads into Wimbledon seemingly practicing now at SW19 after an early exit in Berlin last week.
Novak Djokovic on the other hand as now also the World No.2 following Carlos Alcaraz winning Queen's is keeping himself ticking over as well as continuing a semi-regular tradition of not playing in the lead-up but still claiming the title.
Some criticism has been levied though as of late with Wimbledon keeping him off promotional material despite being defending champion and imperious at the tournament.
Responses in the comments included foreshadowing to the tournament at SW19.
"This will be the 2023 Champions' ball pic," said one user while another asked: "New mixed doubles team at Wimbledon?"
Some though were more disparaging: "Nah not this guy," one wrote and another said: "A great human being and champion and an antivax" with some holding resentment still at Djokovic for his views on the COVID vaccine.
