Novak Djokovic, Aryna Sabalenka, and other tennis stars stunned at a star-studded dinner in Miami on Tuesday night.
As the stars descended on Vice City for the Miami Open this week, Djokovic, Sabalenka, Carlos Alcaraz, and Grigor Dimitrov came picture-ready to an exclusive gathering at Gekko in Miami’s thriving Brickell neighborhood.
The event was hosted by Groot Hospitality’s David Grutman and DraftKings.
The dinner welcomed the stars to Miami ahead of the tournament. Djokovic arrived directly from his Lacoste event wearing a black La Chemise suit from Lacoste alongside Dimitrov who was spotted in a white Lacoste suit.
Alcaraz arrived in a more casual look, wearing a simple gray Louis Vuitton hoodie and black jeans. Sabalenka joined her boyfriend Georgios Frangulis and friend David Grutman on the red carpet.
Djokovic enters the tournament after a second-round loss to Botic Van De Zandschulp in the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells earlier this month.
