As the Chase Center was announced at the home of the Laver Cup 2025, Roger Federer was present in San Francisco for promotional purposes. During his visit to the Bay Area, the Swiss sensation was present at the team’s practice, where he was seen shooting hoops and spending time with the players and coach Steve Kerr, and also visited the Chase Center to catch the Golden State Warriors-San Antonio Spurs tie.
On the other hand, Novak Djokovic, who was in California participating at the Indian Wells 2024, made a trip to the Crypto.com Area in LA to witness the Los Angeles Lakers host the Golden State Warriors. Following the exciting bout, Djokovic also met up with Stephen Curry and LeBron James.

Clearly, one cannot pinpoint who the more popular tennis player is considering the engagement of the two videos on different platforms are pretty much the same. However, it is great to see other tennis players finally catch up to Roger Federer’s popularity after so many years of dominance.
When it comes to Novak Djokovic, he has remained in the United States even after opting out of the Miami Open 2024. Djokovic has himself claimed that he is aiming to balance his personal and professional commitments, as a reason for doing the same.
