Tennis star Novak Djokovic has expanded his sporting horizons by investing in the French second division football team, Le Mans. The news, confirmed by the club, reveals a new facet of the Serbian tennis player off the courts. Djokovic joins a group of investors that includes former Formula 1 drivers, Felipe Massa and Kevin Magnussen. The investment marks a milestone for the club, which welcomes new financial partners.

Djokovic, holder of a record 24 Grand Slam titles in tennis, has demonstrated his success in various areas. Throughout his career, the Serbian tennis player has won 100 titles. Felipe Massa, with 11 victories and 41 podiums in his F1 career, was close to winning the 2008 title, an achievement that slipped away in the last race. Kevin Magnussen, with almost 200 races in F1, achieved a podium and a pole position. The Danish driver was not renewed by Haas at the end of his contract. The Le Mans football club, celebrating its 40th anniversary, will start its league season on August 9th. Le Mans, a city in northwestern France, is also known for hosting the famous 24-hour endurance race.
