JAKARTA - Tennis player Novak Djokovic turns out to have the expertise to play soccer. Although not as good as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, at least Djokovic can impress people.
This can be seen when Novak Djokovic spent time off ahead of the 2022 Monte-Carlo Masters. This Serbian man tested his skills in processing the round skin with two Paris Saint-Germain superstars, Neymar and Marco Verratti.
On that occasion, Novak Djokovic seemed to be able to match the fast game of the two footballers when juggling together. In fact, the two names already have flashy achievements.
Neymar is one of the most famous players in world football and scored 71 goals for the Brazil national team. While Verratti is one of the most skilled and tenacious midfielders in Europe.
Neymar and Verratti are two well-known stars from the top division of French football league, Paris Saint-Germain, based in the French capital, who have won the league seven times in the last nine seasons. Neymar and Verratti became pillars of the European giants.
On his Twitter account, Djokovic uploaded a short 37-second video juggling with Neymar and Verrati.
Not only Djokovic, citing the ATP Tour website, wildcard doubles Marcelo Melo and Alexander Zverev also followed Neymar.
Melo, a former world number 1 doubles star, hopes the time spent with his compatriot can inspire him to a 10th Masters 1000 title this week. The Brazilian has never lifted the Monte-Carlo trophy.
Meanwhile, Zverev is chasing a singles title in the only claycourt Masters 1000 tournament he has yet to win.
Djokovic is a four-time finalist in Monte-Carlo and will start his 2022 clay season against world number 46 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the second round on Tuesday.
