Novak Djokovic is back in Greece after a brief Qatar gateway and an unforgettable Formula 1 experience. The 24-time Major winner visited the Kavouir Tennis Club in Vouliagmeni on Saturday.
The Serb has been among regular visitors since moving to Athens with his family in September, starting a new chapter of his life at 38. After a trip to a distanced resort and Qatar, Novak returned to his familiar ground in Vouliagmeni.
The legend provided viral moments in a relaxed setting, surprising onlookers by stepping on the court with a frying pan instead of a racket! Djokovic turned the improvised tool into a weapon and made the local kids happy, which is crucial for him.

It was a lighthearted reminder of his feel for the sport and the upcoming generations, doing everything to draw more kids totennis. At 38, Djokovic remains a model of excellence and durability, with a pure love for the sport pushing him forward.
The veteran embraced a great run in 2025 and wrapped it up with four Major semi-finals, two deep Masters 1000 runs and two ATP 250 titles. The outcome? His 17th year-end top-4 run, leaving Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer on 16.
Despite a reduced schedule and the ATP Finals withdrawal due to injury, Novak collected enough points to remain among the world's best players ahead of 2026.
Thanks to his position on the ATP rankings list, he will also avoid Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner before the semi-final at next month's Australian Open, a crucial fact for his possible title chances.
