After Proving His Mettle in Golf, Novak Djokovic Gets Candid About Surreal Ryder Cup Experience – ‘Soaking Up..’

The champ went ahead and won again. World’s No.1 tennis player Novak Djokovic is now making news not just in the world of tennis but golf as well. The all-star Ryder Cup just concluded and Djokovic was once again on the winning side. Novak made a small comment about his golfing experience, which can be considered an honest remark. 

It seems like the 24-time Grand Slam winner had a great time playing golf at the all-star match. Djokovic is undoubtedly the champion of tennis as of now and that means he thrives in high-intensity environments. However, for him to be having fun while playing golf, which is more of a calm and composed sport, is incredible.

A lifelong memory for Novak Djokovic

Novak is one of those players who simply excels at everything he does. The All-Star event had two strong teams going against each other for the cup. Novak was in the team led by Colin Montgomerie and the Captain for the opposing team was Corey Pavin.

Although Djokovic didn’t take any credit for the victory in the all-star Ryder Cup, he is happy that he got the opportunity. “I’m going to remember this experience for the rest of my life… It was all about having fun, making new friends, enjoying the atmosphere, and soaking up everything,” he said, according to Eurosport’s X handle.

Djokovic admitted he made a lot of new friends in the Ryder Cup event. Since it was an All-Star event, he got to meet a lot of champions like himself. And well, birds of a feather do flock together.

It’s safe to say that Djokovic was in the good hands of Team Monty. The tennis champ himself hit quite a few amazing shots that added up to bag the Ryder Cup.
