Djokovic, who is the number one-ranked player in the world, was a keen spectator as the number one and number two sides in the world battled each other for the Webb Ellis Cup.

The Serbian was spotted deep in conversation with Ora before the singer spotted the camera and started waving.

Djokovic then turned to the camera, looking quite embarrassed that he was caught on camera.

The moment naturally drew hilarious reactions from social media, as fans were surprised to see the duo together.

Djokovic is currently in France for the Paris Masters and will compete in his first game on Tuesday, October 31.

“Okay, but Rita Ora and Novak Djokovic???”

@harmerp:

“Certainly didn’t have Rita Ora and Novak Djokovic on my bingo card for tonight #NZLvsRSA #rugbyworldcup2023”

@Richw1677:

“Saw Novak Djokovic sat with Rita Ora. Ora smiles and waves, Djokovic looks like he'd been caught out and embarrassed.”

@TheLokiLad:

“The GOAT Novak Djokovic just got caught out in the crowd with Rita Ora 😂🐐.”

Djokovic's rival also in attendance

Djokovic wasn't the tennis star in attendance. Former world number one, Roger Federer, was also spotted taking in the action. Federer has South African citizenship thanks to his mother and was seen sporting a South African flag.

First versus second for Webb Ellis Cup

South Africa are back on top of the rankings.

The reigning world champions have returned to the top of the world rankings after their run in the current Rugby World Cup.

The Boks will now face New Zealand in the final in France, the team who are ranked second in the world at the moment, Sports Brief previously reported.
