Novak Djokovic Takes Night Ride Around Paris’ Arc de Triomphe

PARIS (AP) — Novak Djokovic traded his racket for a bicycle during a nighttime ride around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris on May 29, 2025.

Less than 24 hours before his second-round match at Roland-Garros, the 24-time Grand Slam champion took time off to enjoy the sights of the city while getting some exercise. Djokovic was spotted cycling around the famous monument, capturing the attention of passersby.

A video of the ride was shared on social media, showing Djokovic wearing a dark blue tracksuit, sneakers, and a well-fitted helmet for safety. He pedaled through the bustling roundabout at the end of the Champs-Élysées, a place known for its challenging traffic for cyclists.

Amid cheers from fans, one person shouted, “I love you!” to which Djokovic smiled and replied, “I love you, too.” The moment showcased his approachable demeanor away from the pressures of competition.

Recently, Djokovic celebrated his 100th career title and is now aiming for his record 25th major tournament victory at Roland-Garros.
