When the NBA meets tennis, it’s like a fusion of athletic excellence! While every now and then a lot of tennis players are seen attending NBA matches, recently it was Novak Djokovic, the current world number one, who attended a Warriors match and had a sweet little moment with Stephen Curry. Two legends came together in a single frame.
However, just a few days ago, the American NBA star had an opportunity to meet Roger Federer, but this time, things were a lot different from the recent meeting with Djokovic. Let’s dive into the sweet moment Curry shared with the Serb, the ultimate star of the current tour.
Novak Djokovic gave an autographed tennis racket to Stephen Curry
The 24-time Grand Slam champion faced an early exit from the Indian Wells tournament as a young rising tennis sensation, Luca Nardi, defeated him in the second round of the tournament. However, before getting ready for the next part of the American swing, the Miami Open, the world number one-ranked tennis player recently made some time out of his busy athletic schedule to attend an NBA match.

But that was not the major highlight. While he attended the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors match, he met the Warriors’ face, other than the 36-year-old American basketball player, as they exchanged conversations and even gave each other a token of love from the respective sports.
Recently, the official Twitter handle of the basketball team shared a video in which the 36-year-old Serbian tennis player and Curry were seen standing on the basketball court as they got into a conversation. Not only that, in the video, Djokovic was seen giving his autograph on the tennis racket, which he gave to the NBA star.
In the same way, even the Warriors star took off his jersey then and there and signed it for the tennis star. Moreover, when Federer met Curry just a few days ago during his visit to San Francisco, the Swiss tennis legend didn’t receive the same gesture from the NBA star.
When Federer paid a visit to the NBA star, Curry
A few days ago, the 20-time Grand Slam champion paid the Golden State Warriors a unique visit, as he was seen exercising alongside head coach Steve Kerr and star player Steph Curry. In keeping with the spirit of teamwork, Federer posed for pictures at the Chase Center before demonstrating his abilities on the basketball court, where he stunningly made a perfect four out of four shots.

While there might be nothing that the 42-year-old Swiss tennis legend can’t do, he was seen having a fun workout session with Curry and his team, but he missed out on the moment that Curry shared with Djokovic. Moreover, looking into this, the recent meet-up also brought back happy memories of Federer and Curry’s 2017 Rolex Shanghai Masters rendezvous, underscoring the special connection between the NBA and tennis worlds.
Nevertheless, what are your thoughts on Djokovic and Curry’s recent meeting? Do let us know in the comment section below.
