Belarusian tennis player Arina Sabolenko posted on her Instagram stories a photo of Serbian Novak Djokovic in an unsuccessful attempt to catch a tennis ball thrown at him by the athlete himself (the owner of Meta was recognized as an extremist and banned in Russia).
“23 helmets and I still can’t catch the ball, I’m sorry but I’m not sorry,” Sobolenko wrote under the photo.
Djokovic reposted the photo on his account and added a few smiley emojis in response.
Sobolenko and Djokovic are currently participating in a tournament in Cincinnati, USA. Both athletes advanced to the third round of the competition, where Sobolenko will play with Russian representative Daria Kasatkina and Djokovic will face French Gael Monfils.
The prize fund of the competition is $6.6 million.
In June, Djokovic won the 23rd Grand Slam tournament, defeating Spaniard Rafael Nadal, becoming the only record holder in this indicator.
A tennis player before during a match in the USA complained on a woman imitating the buzz of a bee.
