In 2023, Tom Brady officially announced his retirement from the NFL after a legendary career. “I’m retiring. For good. I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so, I won’t be long-winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year. So, really thank you guys so much for supporting me.”
After his college career at Michigan, Tom Brady was selected by the Patriots with the famous 199th pick in the 2000 NFL Draft. When Drew Bledsoe got injured, Brady received the opportunity by head coach Bill Belichick and the rest is history. Six Super Bowls won with New England and one more with Tampa to become the greatest player ever.
This Sunday, Novak Djokovic was trying to achieve the same at Roland Garros. He had the opportunity to become the best player in tennis history by conquering the record of most Grand Slams won. Tom Brady made an incredible gesture to support him.
Why is Tom Brady at Roland Garros 2023 with Novak Djokovic?
Tom Brady was a special guest in Novak Djokovic’s box during the 2023 Roland Garros final in Paris. Though many stars like Kylian Mbappe or Zlatan Ibrahimovic were there, the former quarterback was the only one who sat with his family and team. He was constantly seen talking to Nole’s wife, Jelena.
During the entire match against Casper Ruud, Brady cheered for Djokovic in one of the most important moment of his career. Imagine to have that type of motivation on your side. Thanks to his victory, the Serbian star has won 23 Grand Slams surpassing Rafael Nadal as the greatest tennis player of all time. Just an epic day.
Furthermore, in the overall list, Djokovic also tied Serena Williams in Grand Slam trophies. He’s one behind Margaret Court (24) and could get that record at Wimbledon. If Tom Brady is the GOAT of NFL, today was Novak’s day to achieve that title in tennis. That’s why his friend had to be there.
