Novak Djokovic has long been considered a wall on the tennis court. That took new meaning on Sunday, when he spent time at the Great Wall of China.
In the spirit of ‘Play Big’, Lacoste hosted a special event at the Ju Yong Guan pass in Beijing. Located in the Changping district, Ju Yong Guan is one of the best-preserved passes along the Great Wall of China.

Ambassadors, celebrities and media were among those who attended the event, where a tennis court was set up. Djokovic enjoyed hitting some balls with Chinese actor Wang Yibo.
Yibo wrote on Instagram: “I’m truly honoured and delighted to have played tennis with an Olympic Champion at the iconic Great Wall! Big thanks to @lacoste , and thank you Nole @djokernole ! I'm already looking forward to our next match, will keep training hard and play big.”
Djokovic commented on the post: “Pleasure to play with you on Great Wall of China. Looking forward to hosting you on one of my matches soon.”
The Serbian star will now enjoy the Asian Swing and continue his pursuit of his 100th tour-level title.
