Watch: Djokovic’s Playful Return to Kavouri Tennis Club Sparks Viral Joy
Novak Djokoviclic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, brought smiles and nostalgia to the Kavouri Tennis Club in Vouliagmeni, Greece, on December 6, 2025, with a hilarious frying pan tennis session. 0 “Novak Djokovic wielding a frying pan on court at Kavouri Tennis Club, Greece – a fun throwback moment” “LARGE”
After a short trip to Qatar and an exciting Formula 1 experience, Djokovic returned to his adopted home in Athens, where he and his family relocated in September 2025. Now a regular at the club, the 38-year-old surprised everyone by ditching his racket for a kitchen frying pan.
The Serbian legend served, forehanded, and backhanded with the improvised “weapon,” entertaining local kids and onlookers. It wasn’t always perfect, but his touch and humor shone through, delighting the crowd and highlighting his enduring passion for tennis.
This lighthearted display echoes Djokovic’s famous 2020 lockdown videos and reminds fans of his incredible feel for the game – even with household items. It’s a perfect way to inspire the next generation and promote the sport he loves.
In 2025, Djokovic enjoyed a strong season despite a lighter schedule: four Major semi-finals, deep runs in Masters 1000 events, and two ATP 250 titles. He finished with his 17th year-end Top 4 ranking (surpassing Nadal and Federer), withdrew from the ATP Finals due to injury, but secured a favorable Australian Open draw – avoiding Alcaraz and Sinner before the semis.
As he prepares for off-season training and recovers from a shoulder issue, moments like this prove Djokovic’s balance, competitive fire, and joy remain elite. He hasn’t announced his early 2026 plans yet, but tournaments in Brisbane, Auckland, and Adelaide are hopeful.
A timeless icon on and off the court – who’s ready for more frying pan challenges?
