Renowned soccer player Gareth Bale was seen swapping his soccer ball for a tennis racket recently. Bale is a Welsh soccer player who has won five UEFA Champions League titles with Real Madrid, and he is the all-time leading scorer for Wales.

The 34-year-old player had officially announced his retirement from professional football in January 2023 after an incredible 16-year career. Many fans were impressed with his efficiency in tennis and complimented his forehand. Some believed that the World No.1 tennis star Novak Djokovic had something to do with it.

Both legends of their sport had come together to play All-Star Match at the Marco Simone Golf Club in Rome, Italy. It was a match conducted ahead of the Ryder Cup. The 24 time Grand Slam winner was playing alongside the Welsh soccer player as part of Colin Montgomerie’s team.

One of them joked that he is probably learning from his new friend, Djokovic. The Serbian ace is known for his forehand and great returning skills. He is arguably the best player in tennis currently. The 36-year-old would make a great coach for anyone, including the Welshman.
