Novak Djokovic claims he talked about ‘everything’ during his last meeting with Lionel Messi and considers the Argentine a ‘phenomenon’.
Two big names in history have crossed paths several times during their careers, and their last meeting was in New York.
Messi was in the ‘Big Apple’ while playing in MLS with Inter Miami, while tennis icon Novak Djokovic is looking for glory at the US Open at Flushing Meadows.
Leo Messi has already lifted the 44th trophy of his remarkable career as he led Inter Miami to the inaugural Leagues Cup title.
Djokovic, who has 23 Grand Slam titles to his name, enjoys talking to Messi and told ESPN Mexico about his last encounter with the Argentine superstar: “This is the second time we’ve met. We talked about everything for 15 minutes, I would like to meet him and talk about everything again. Messi is a phenomenon. He’s a great champion, I have a lot of respect for him.”.
