The match is to take place at the legendary All England Club in Wimbledon, London and if Djokovic wins, it will escalate Djokovic to equal the all-time men’s record of 20 major victories set by Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
Djokovic is now one more victory away from retaining the crown he won in 2018 and 2019, and therefore equalling the all-time men’s record of 20 major victories set by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal
Novak Djokovic is currently the number 1 ranking tennis player in the world. He is even considered to be one of the best tennis players to ever play the game. But did you know that Djokovic was challenged by the Audi Racecar team to see if their Audi race car was faster than the champion tennis players’ serve?
“Djokovic took the challenge and here’s what happened.”
Djokovic used a new HEAD Graphene Speed tennis racket and served the tennis ball at the exact same time that an Audi R8 LMS race car screamed past the starting line. As a result, the tennis ball crossed the finish line a split second before the Audi Racecar – leaving Djokovic undefeated once again.
