Just days before the Australian Open is scheduled to kick off at Melbourne Park, the Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic and the Australian cricketing superstar Steve Smith were involved in a charity match. When Djokovic sent out a straight serve aimed at Smith’s body, the Australian managed to showcase good reflexes to adjust quickly before making an impressive return of serve inside the court.
The moment stunned Novak Djokovic and the crowd present at the Rod Laver Arena, leading to the multi-time Grand Slam champion bowling down to Steve Smith. As an ardent tennis fan himself, the Bharat Ratna Sachin Tendulkar sent out a post on his official X account to react to the moment, stating, “Beautiful to see two accomplished sportsmen having a moment. The score is ‘love-all’. @stevesmith49 @DjokerNole”.

Moreover, Novak Djokovic will be aiming for a record-setting 25th Grand Slam title in his tennis career, becoming the first singles player to achieve the monumental feat at the Australian Open in the next couple of weeks or so.
