Novak Djokovic Trades His Racket for a Bicycle and Takes a Nighttime Ride Around Paris
- Less than a day before his second-round Roland-Garros match, 38-year-old Serbian and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic was seen cycling at night through the busy roundabout near Paris’s iconic Arc de Triomphe.
- Djokovic traded the French Open’s clay courts for cycling the cobblestone streets as he prepared to face Corentin Moutet in his upcoming second-round match Thursday.
- While riding, Djokovic navigated a notoriously busy roundabout located at one end of the Champs-Élysées, an area known for being challenging for cyclists in Paris.
- He appeared perfectly at ease wearing a dark blue tracksuit, sneakers, and a fastened helmet while a short clip of the ride was posted on social media; someone called out "I love you!" to which Djokovic replied, "I love you, too," with a grin.
- Having just won his 100th career title, Djokovic aims for a record 25th major championship, and this ride suggests he balances training with light exercise during tournament breaks.
