Lindsey Vonn made her feelings known about meeting Novak Djokovic

In March 2024, Lindsey Vonn shared a message for Novak Djokovic. Shortly after meeting the Serbian, the American expressed her feelings about meeting him by sharing a photo with him and a note calling him the GOAT (greatest of all time).

Since calling Roger Federer the GOAT, she wrote the post stating that sport can have more than one GOAT. Congratulating the 38-year-old on his achievements, she wrote:

“I hang out with the GOAT and yes, I believe it’s him. Contrary to Twitter’s beliefs, I think there may be more than one. But @DjokerNole holds the records and I have nothing but respect for what he’s accomplished…and he skis!”

Lindsey Vonn supports Novak Djokovic and frequently reacts to his victories and heartbreaks on social media. She shared a reaction on her Instagram Story after Djokovic’s victory over Cameron Norrie in the third round of the US Open.

On top of that, she also helped watch the Serbian against Jannik Sinner in the French Open semi-finals. She expressed that she shared a close bond with both players.
