Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American entrepreneur, and Republican Party presidential candidate, has extended a special invitation to tennis legends Novak Djokovic and Patrick McEnroe. The notion of a friendly hit-up comes as Djokovic prepares to return to the sport’s major stage following an almost two-year absence.
In a tweet to Patrick McEnroe, Ramaswamy expressed excitement for a future showdown at the US Open and recommended inviting Djokovic to participate in the friendly match. Ramaswamy joked about the need to prepare for the September discussion while hinting at his tennis commitment.
Djokovic, the Serbian tennis sensation owing to his refusal to acquire the Covid-19 vaccine, prevented him from competing in the 2021 US Open. During his successful homecoming, Ramaswamy took advantage of the opportunity to congratulate Djokovic on his recent victory at the Cincinnati Open.

For the uninitiated, Ramaswamy, who was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Indian immigrant parents, has made tremendous political accomplishments. He is 38 years old and running for the Republican candidacy in the 2024 US presidential election. His distinct blend of Indian ancestry and American upbringing resonates with his pursuit of political leadership and policy reform.
Ramaswamy’s passion for tennis and interactions with renowned players reflect the broad nature of his engagement as he strives to make an impact on the political stage. As Djokovic’s return captivates the tennis world and Ramaswamy’s presidential ambition gains traction, these exchanges highlight the numerous intersections that define contemporary society.
