He is the brand ambassador for the sports and fashion company Lacoste and the brand paid tribute to the Serbian legend in a unique way. They organized a tennis match on Sunday (September 29) between Djokovic and Chinese actor and singer\u00a0<strong>Wang Yibo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for both of them, it started to rain. When the match was about to start and Djokovic saw Yibo walked on to the court, he joked that Yibo looked like a strong player, which is why he needed to stretch. Djokovic even challenged the 27-year-old to meet him on a dry surface.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Novak Djokovic Changed His Game to Become the GOAT \ud83d\udc10 #novakdjokovic\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QJpCNM6bfIo?list=PLZGasR6VH79eoZ5dMJ949ykRBkwSAzFUF\" width=\"790\" height=\"593\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"790\" data-origheight=\"593\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<figure>\n<div data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QJpCNM6bfIo?list=PLZGasR6VH79eoZ5dMJ949ykRBkwSAzFUF&amp;autoplay=1\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Djokovic has been the brand ambassador for the French brand since 2017. The Serb, however, publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Lacoste this year at Wimbledon due to its marketing promotion. He was \u201c<em>frustrated<\/em>\u201d that fans looking to buy his products couldn\u2019t find them in Lacoste stores.<\/p>\n<p>As it was raining heavily,\u00a0Novak Djokovic\u00a0and Wang Yibo started to play slowly to avoid any slipping on the ground. It was indeed quite difficult for Djokovic to hit and one of Yibo\u2019s backhand even \u2018forced\u2019 the Serb to go out of the court. Finally, Yibo won the match and threw his arms in the air, and later received praise from the 24-time Grand Slam champion.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsportz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Novak-Djokovic-Wang-Yibo-1200x674.jpg\" alt=\"Novak Djokovic, Wang Yibo\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" \/><figcaption>Novak Djokovic, Wang Yibo (Image via X)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Djokovic last played at the\u00a0US Open, where he failed to reach the fourth round for the first time in 18 years.
