Djokovic interrupted the interview to greet Messi.

France: While being interviewed by Ibai Llanos, tennis player Novak Djokovic approached Lionel Messi to shake hands and greet him after the 2023 Ballon d'Or awards ceremony.

Djokovic was in Paris for the year's Masters 1000 tournament, so he was also present at the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony at the Chatelet Theatre. While answering questions from reporters online, Djokovic saw Messi approaching with his wife and children. The Serbian tennis player interrupted his interview, went over to shake hands, and gave a warm hug to Messi and the Argentinian superstar's wife, Antonella Roccuzzo.

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

In August, before the US Open Grand Slam, Djokovic met Messi at a restaurant in New York. Both dined with billionaire Jorge Mas, co-owner of Inter Miami with former football star 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 currently considered the greatest in their respective sports . Messi holds the record for winning eight Ballon d'Or awards in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2019, 2021, and 2023, while Djokovic holds the record for 24 Grand Slam titles. Messi has won every major title at club and international level, while Djokovic has won every major tournament on the ATP Tour.

After Messi won the World Cup – a title his rival Cristiano Ronaldo still lacks – not many people debated whether "Messi or Ronaldo is better." At this point, Djokovic holds almost every prestigious tennis record, but lacks an Olympic gold medal to quell any debate. Messi, on the other hand, won an Olympic gold medal with the Argentine team in Beijing in 2008.
