Mike Tyson came to watch Novak Djokovic at the French Open but was in awe of amazing Carlos Alcaraz shot
Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz was the blockbuster match that had even Mike Tyson wanting to be there in person.
The former heavyweight world champion boxer was pictured courtside at the French Open to get a front row seat for the semi-final clash, which was won by Djokovic.
Tyson was seen on television cameras with his phone in hand taking snaps as the numbers one and two in the world went toe to toe on Court Philippe Chatrier.
Iron Mike is a huge tennis fan and is regularly seen at the US Open, occasionally making trips to Europe too.
He’s previously admitted that the sport ‘changed his life’ and his daughter Milan is a budding tennis star.
And his favourite player… Novak Djokovic. That would partially explain why he was courtside for the match.

Tyson previously said: “Novak Djokovic is my favourite at the moment. If he is okay, I really like to watch him.
“He is my favourite because the way he has come back from injury and beaten guys like Nadal and Federer is amazing. He is a true fighter.”
Djokovic sealed his place the French Open final after beating Alcaraz in four sets as he now aims to pick up his 23rd Grand Slam title to overtake rival Rafael Nadal.
Alcaraz, 20, picked up an injury at the start of the third set and never fully recovered as he won just two games in the final two sets.
