Novak Djokovic teams up with John McEnroe, Carlos Alcaraz picks Andre Agassi for US Open exhibition
Serbia's famous tennis player Novak Djokovic and Spain's Carlos Alcaraz are set to team up for a special exhibition match at the US Open. The last Grand Slam of the year kicks off on August 26, and athletes from across the globe will come together to display their skills and compete for the top prize.
Before the big event, there will be an exciting doubles exhibition match at Flashing Meadows on August 21. The match will showcase two of the top male tennis players, Djokovic and Alcaraz. Djokovic will team up with former world number one John McEnroe, while Alcaraz will partner with American tennis legend Andre Agassi.
Djokovic is still the top player in men's tennis history, having won 24 Grand Slam titles in his career. The player from Belgrade recently won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics by defeating Spain's Alcaraz in the final with scores of 7-6, 7-6.
In contrast, Alcaraz is seen as one of the best up-and-coming tennis players in the men's game right now. He has managed to win four major tournaments in his impressive career. This year alone, he secured two of those wins. He claimed victory at the French Open by defeating Alexander Zverev in a thrilling five-set match with a score of 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2. He then went on to win the Wimbledon title by beating Djokovic in three straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6.
McEnroe, who stopped playing tennis in 2006, finished his career after winning seven major championships. In contrast, Agassi retired from the sport in the same year, wrapping up his impressive career with eight major championships.
