Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic Spotted at a Miami Heat Game, but Federer Has a Better Seat Between the Two
Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, who are both participants in the 2014 Miami Masters, took a break from tennis and watched a game of basketball on Friday. The two great athletes were both in attendance during the game between Miami Heat and Memphis Grizzlies, when the Heat won with the final score of 91 to 86.
Federer and Djokovic came to watch the game separately, but the Swiss athlete who currently ranks fifth in the world had a better seat. According to Tennis World USA, Federer was invited by the Heat team. Having been invited personally to watch the game, Federer was given the privilege of sitting courtside, and he was delighted enough to share the experience by posting a photo on Twitter.
