Tennis legend Novak Djokovic turned heads during a light-hearted interview at the BNP Paribas Open, recounting a recent golf outing with rivals Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, where the young Spaniard stunned them with a 300-yard drive and an eagle attempt on the first hole.

During the friendly moment where they played golf, Djokovic was amazed by Alcaraz's skills. He said during his recent media appearance:
"On the first hole, Alcaraz drove the ball 270 meters and made an eagle. I told him: 'Man, is there anything you can't do?'"
The 24-time major champions added:
"I'm behind them, I don't play as much as before. Of course, we are great rivals, but it's also nice to share good times together off the court."
Djokovic revealed Alcaraz's all-around athletic talent, with the Serbian joking that the 20-year-old's skills extend far beyond the court. This off-court camaraderie comes amid the high-stakes tournament, where Djokovic, the world No. 1 with 24 Grand Slam titles, faces stiff competition from Alcaraz's four majors and Zverev's two Masters 1000 wins.
