Djokovic is currently enjoying his offseason following his win at the Hellenic Championship in Athens. He withdrew from the ATP Finals held in Turin just a couple of days before the start.

Novak Djokovic and David Beckham met in 2023 as well

Their prior public moment came in 2023, when Novak Djokovic won his 350th Grand Slam victory. He defeated Australia's Jordan Thompson to achieve the milestone. Only Roger Federer and Serena Williams had won that many games in Grand Slam tournaments at the time.

Former English captain David Beckham enjoyed the game from the Royal Box. Alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn was also present at the event.

After the match, Djokovic thanked all the stars for their attendance at the All England Club. Djokovic posted photos with Beckham and several other stars. He captioned the post:

"Great to meet with some sporting legends I have always admired 🙌🙏 @davidbeckham … Thank you for coming to @wimbledon and supporting tennis 🎾 David, it seems like I made you laugh on pic #2 😉😂"

Djokovic last won a Grand Slam at the 2023 US Open. Since then, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have taken tennis by storm, winning every Grand Slam over the last few years. The Serb, who is 38, continues to get beaten in the semifinals of majors, but despite that, his chase for the elusive 25th Grand Slam title isn't finished.

It remains to be seen if 2026 is the season when we see the last from Djokovic.
