If you are obsessed with hoops, then you might be excused for not being up to date on tennis news. Instead of watching the slew of upsets at the 2020 Summer Olympics, you were probably waking up early to watch Team USA win Gold in Japan.

But everyone knows the number one men's tennis player in the world, Novak Djokovic. The 34-year-old Serbian has amassed 20 Grand Slam men's singles titles and nearly 1,000 career victories. Simply put, he's the GOAT of tennis.

This week Djokovic is busy dominating at the 2021 U.S. Open in New York City. So, Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young took to Twitter to discuss the tournament, and it didn't take long for his teammate Bogdan Bogdanovic to chime in and mention his fellow Serbian, Djokovic.

I know @DjokerNole must be your favorite player 😁

What came as a surprise was Djokovic hopping in their mentions and showing love to Hawks backcourt. The tennis legend seems to be familiar with the work of 'Ice Trae' Young.

It's not every day that you have the Tennis GOAT, giving love to such young athletes in a completely different sport. Maybe it shouldn't come as a total surprise; Djokovic is friends with NBA MVP Nikola Jokic and has likely watched plenty of basketball. It's safe to say that Djokovic has some fans for life on the Hawks.

You welcome @TheTraeYoung 😜😂🤙🏽 https://t.co/jEcyrA3t2u
