While Djokovic’s delivery of the line was received with a bit less enthusiasm by the crowd in attendance at the U.S.T.A Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, his gusto in delivery was up to Kelce’s standard.
The three-time U.S. Open winner may get his chance to see Kelce in action on Thursday when the Chiefs face the Detroit Lions for the first game of the NFL’s 2023 regular season.
