Wimbledon 2025: Novak Djokovic Greets Jannik Sinner, Shares Laughter With Aryna Sabalenka During Practice Session

Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner exchanged a warm greeting on the Wimbledon practice courts, their brief encounter marked by a friendly embrace. As top players start arriving early for the third Grand Slam of the season, Sinner was spotted practising with Grigor Dimitrov, while Djokovic hit with Stefanos Tsitsipas, now coached by Djokovic’s former mentor, Goran Ivanisevic. Their recent clash at the French Open semifinals saw Sinner advancing in straight sets, and he currently leads their head-to-head series 5-4. Meanwhile, Djokovic, set for his 20th consecutive Wimbledon appearance, wrapped up a training session on Monday and even shared a light-hearted moment with Aryna Sabalenka when they crossed paths courtside.
