“Would Smash My Head Off”: Mike Tyson’s Daughter on Playing Against Novak Djokovic

Tennis legend Novak Djokovic has often shown his generosity on and off the court. The 20-time Grand Slam champion has also cherished some funny moments on the court. In 2018, he played a healthy round of tennis with Mike Tyson’s daughter, Milan Tyson.

On Tennis Channel, Milan shared her experience of hitting shots with one of the greatest tennis players of all time. She funnily said that Djokovic went easy on her, otherwise she wouldn’t have survived the rallies.

Djokovic advances to the Round of 16

After a bizarre defeat at US Open 2021, Novak Djokovic has finally returned on the ATP tour. At the Masters event taking place in Paris, the World No. 1 has inched one step closer to the title.

In the round of 32, he overcame Marton Fucsovics in an enthralling contest. Djokovic eased past the Hungarian in the first set, winning it in 6-2.

However, Fucsovics fought back and took the second set. The 20-time Grand Slam champion showed dominance in the third set and eventually won the match.

The Serb will now lock horns with the Frenchman, Gael Monfils.
