Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka are two of the greatest players of their generation.
Djokovic, a winner of 101 ATP Tour titles, has captured 24 Grand Slam singles titles during his career and has spent the most weeks at the world number one spot of any player in men’s tennis history – ahead of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
The Serbian star will be aiming to win a 25th major in 2026 – one more than Margaret Court.
As for Wawrinka, he has won three Grand Slam titles and is still competing on the ATP Tour despite being 40 years old.
The pair recently played tennis with Zak Brown during the off-season. Brown, the CEO of the McLaren Formula 1 team, recently witnessed Lando Norris win the F1 title while driving a McLaren car.

Both Formula 1 and tennis are currently in the midst of their respective off-seasons.
The ATP Tour and WTA Tour seasons came to an end in November following the conclusion of the ATP and WTA Finals.
At the weekend, the Formula 1 season concluded. Lando Norris pipped Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri to the world championship title after finishing third at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Zak Brown [pictured below] is now enjoying some time off and has wound up playing tennis with Djokovic and Wawrinka.
On Instagram, Brown said: “Could not resist the chance to play alongside these absolute legends – thanks Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka for the great sportsmanship – and for not completely kicking my ass on court.”
The F1 CEO could not resist seeing the funny side of their meeting, adding: “Between the three of us we have 27 Grand Slams.”
Novak Djokovic recently attended the Qatar Grand Prix
At the end of November, the Serbian superstar took some time to travel to the Middle East, where he attended the penultimate weekend of the F1 season in Qatar.
Djokovic was a particularly notable figure during the sprint race portion of the weekend, presenting trophies to the top three finishers.
Djokovic handed the winner’s trophy to Australian McLaren driver Oscar Piastri, while also handing silverware to George Russell and Lando Norris.
Djokovic will have one eye on the Australian Open as he heads into 2026. The Serb has won the tournament on 10 occasions.
