VIDEO: Tennis legend Novak Djokovic sets sights on Tour de France and calls out Maillot Jaune winner - "I’m coming for you, Tadej Pogacar!"
Cycling
Arguably the greatest tennis player of all time, Novak Djokovic is one of the most recognisable sports stars on the planet. Could the Serbian soon be switching sports though?
Well, in a video posted on the 37-year-old, recently crowned Olympic champion's official Instagram account, Djokovic jokingly sets his sights on a career in the professional peloton and even calls out the man of the moment in the cycling world, the 2024 Giro d'Italia and 2024 Tour de France winner, Tadej Pogacar.
"Back in training. Setting new goals. Next stop, Tour de France," Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam winner in the sport of tennis, captions a video of himself training on the bike in the forest, even showing a good turn of speed once he realises the camera is on him. "I’m coming for you, Tadej Pogacar!" Djokovic concludes with a laughing emoji.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
