It was a great time for the Paris soccer fans when Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored for PSG - at home games, by the way, not far from the Stade Roland Garros. And when it was November, Zlatan went to the Paris-Bercy hall, treated himself to top-class tennis as a spectator.

With the current center of life in Los Angeles, passive tennis is more difficult - a jaunt to Indian Wells would be a good idea. Especially since the players there are said to like to have a personal chat with the fans on the facility.

Djokovic is in first place

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has already found just that with Novak Djokovic. Out of a privileged situation, of course. The Swede, who has just renewed his contract with LA Galaxy, was impressed. It was 2013, at the traditional last ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Paris, when Zlatan and Nole met. And the contact has apparently not been broken since then, as Ibrahimovic recently explained in an interview.

"We are good friends, we still maintain contact," said Zlatan. "I am very happy for him because he came back after his injury and is now back in position one. He belongs to them too. "

Ball processing with the feet preferred

Ibrahimovic explained that he preferred to work on a ball with his feet. Which also applies to his children. Who nevertheless enjoyed the Serbian industry leader. "He met my children, they were amazed by him. They don't play tennis either, they play football. And do martial arts. And yet we were really happy to meet Novak. "
