Djokovic reacts to Fritx quarter-final victory<\/h3>\n

Novak Djokovic will cross paths with athletes from the world of Formula One and football in a special event after the US Open. The Serb is currently aiming to win his third Grand Slam of the year in New York, having reached the semi-finals after beating Taylor Fritz in the last eight on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Djokovic’s sole focus over the next few days will be on claiming the top prize at Flushing Meadows ahead of Carlos Alcaraz, who has emerged as the 36-year-old’s main rival since winning Wimbledon earlier this year. However, an exciting new challenge will await him after the US Open in the form of a celebrity golf tournament ahead of the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n

A host of famous faces will take part in the Ryder Cup all-star match before Europe face the USA in the 44th edition of the prestigious event. Djokovic will be putting his skills to the test alongside several other well-known sporting figures, including Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz and former Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko.<\/p>\n

Five-time Champions League winner Gareth Bale will also be involved in the match, with the Welshman having made no secret of his passion for golf over the years. The event will take place at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome shortly before the Ryder Cup gets underway at the same venue.<\/p>\n

Ten celebrities have been split into two teams of five, with each side captained by golf legends Colin Montgomerie and Corey Pavin. Djokovic will be on Team Monty alongside Bale, Dude Perfect star Garrett Hilbert, professional surfer Leonardo Fioravanti and golfer Kipp Popert, who previously topped the world rankings for players with disabilities.<\/p>\n

“I can\u2019t wait to tee it up in Rome and experience the incredible atmosphere of a Ryder Cup, which has become legendary,” said Djokovic. “The course looks like a fantastic test of golf and my playing partner Kipp, a seasoned pro, has won a lot on the G4D Tour recently so I\u2019m confident we can get a point for the team. It\u2019s going to be a great spectacle for the fans.”<\/p>\n

Bale is also excited by the prospect of teaming up with Djokovic for the event, which is scheduled to take place two days before the Ryder Cup tees off on September 27.<\/p>\n

“The Ryder Cup is a special event,” said the former Real Madrid winger. “Having experienced the incredible atmosphere at Europe\u2019s win in 2010, I can\u2019t wait to experience some of that magic again in Rome in a few weeks\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

“The All-Star Match, under the captaincy of Colin Montgomerie, will be an amazing experience and I\u2019m really looking forward to teeing it up with some great people. It\u2019s sure to be a top event and one the fans will really enjoy.”<\/p>\n
