Djokovic met Messi after the 2023 Ballon d'Or award ceremony.

In August, before the US Open, Djokovic met Messi at a restaurant in New York. The two dined with billionaire Jorge Mas, co-owner of Inter Miami with former player David Beckham. Afterwards, Mas wrote on social media: "A great night meeting the greatest players of all time in football and tennis."

Messi and Djokovic have a good relationship and admire each other, partly because they both love football and tennis. Both are now considered the greatest in their respective sports . Messi has won a record eight Ballon d'Ors in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2019, 2021 and 2023, while Djokovic has a record 24 Grand Slams. Messi has won every major title at club and international level, while Djokovic has won every major title on the ATP Tour.

After Messi won the World Cup - a title that rival Cristiano Ronaldo still lacks, not many people still debate "Messi or Ronaldo, who is better". At this time, Djokovic holds almost all the prestigious records in tennis, but lacks the Olympic championship to put an end to all debates. Messi won an Olympic gold medal with the Argentina team in Beijing in 2008.
