The Joker Can Save The World's Highest Paid Female Athlete

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

It is difficult to dispute
the following:
Novak Djokovic
is the greatest
tennis player
on Planet Earth

The highest paid 
female athlete
on that planet
is also 
a tennis player

Her name is
Naomi Osaka
and
she is the athlete
who lit the cauldron
at the 2021 Olympics
 
Naomi Osaka
did not play in either
the French Open
or Wimbledon
for reasons related to 
mental health
 
She will not agree
to post-match interviews
demanded by tennis officials
and sponsors responsible
for making her 
a gazillionaire
 
To guarantee 
Naomi's appearance
in the upcoming
U.S. Open + ALL 
foreseeable 
Grand Slam 
tennis tournaments
AND
allow her to bypass
post-match interviews,
 I offer a solution:

In lieu of facing
one thousand tennis journalists
asking every stupid 
(and non-stupid)
question imaginable
moments after she expended
one thousand pounds 
of tennis energy
on whatever court,
Naomi Osaka
agrees to spend
a private weekend with
Novak Djokovic
 
They look like they could be
the most beautiful couple
the sports world
has ever produced

Happy googling to 
one and all

Merry mirth-making

eternal tennis brilliance
to
Naomi and Novak
💗 💗💗

    Naomi might accept but I am sure the Joker's wife
    may have a few errant swings of the nearest racquet
    if her hubby goes anywhere near Ms. Osaka.

      Silly me:
      I didn't know there was
      a Mrs. Djokovic but
      —vis-a-vis—
      the extra-ordinary female flesh
      her uber-talented husband
      is exposed to—
      she's got to have what
      Lucille Armstrong
      (wife of Louis) called
      "PARTIAL VISION"
      That means looking the other way
      when hubby gets extra-curricular

      As long as the man in her life
      is bringing home soooo much bacon,
      he's earned the right to have
      a private dessert

      Come to think of it:
      Novak Djokovic is to the tennis racket
      as Louis Armstrong is to the trumpet:
      THERE IS NONE BETTER

      Miles Davis once said≈
      "There is nothing that can be done
      with a trumpet that Louis Armstrong
      hasn't already done"

      John McEnroe once said≈
      "The greatest thing about my tennis career
      is never having to have played against
      Novak Djokovic"
