World no. 1 Novak Djokovic is making the best of his time while he is in Paris for his 2023 Paris Masters tournament. But tennis practice is not the only thing that has got him hooked. Djokovic recently attended two events back-to-back. First, he was seen attending the Rugby World Cup finals with Rita Ora and then he attended the Ballon d’Or ceremony.

He styled a stunning black tuxedo for the event and was seen engaging with fans and interviewers. In fact, he was also interviewed by a famous YouTuber iShowSpeed. And this interview is everything you wouldn’t have thought at all.

He stopped Djokovic and asked him, “You look very familiar. What’s your name?

To which Djokovic who is a die-hard AC Milan fan humorously responded, “I am a new AC Milan player. I have not played yet but I am getting on for the next game.”

The Serbian tennis player has time and again mentioned how much he loves football. And his recent actions suggest that he just might be an AC Milan fan as well. Djokovic was previously in attendance in Milan in the month of May when the team faced their inner-city rivals, Inter Milan. This match was held in the first leg of their semi-finals of the Champion League.

During the event, Djokovic was seen smiling and posing for pictures with Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was injured during the time. He also posed and met with Rafael Leao who was also injured. In one of his interviews from 2014, Djokovic mentioned that he is a great Milan fan and for him, football is what comes second to only tennis. His recent activity in Paris surely indicates the same. Doesn’t it? We think if it was not tennis, Djokovic would have gone for football careerwise too!
