PARIS (AP) —Novak Djokovictraded his racket for a bicycle and swapped theFrench Open'sclay courts for the cobblestone streets of Paris during a nighttime ride around the Arc de Triomphe. Less than 24 hours before the 24-time Grand Slam championwas scheduled to play France's Corentin Moutetin the second round at Roland-Garros on Thursday, Djokovic was spotted taking in the sights like a tourist while getting some exercise. Someone filmed Djokovic and posted a short clip on social media. Wearing a dark blue track suit, sneakers and a properly fastened helmet — safety first! —the 38-year-old Serbian starpedaled through the famously hectic roundabout at one end of the Champs-Élysées. Not exactly the most bike-friendly spot in the City of Light, but Djokovic looked perfectly at ease. Someone called out, "I love you!" and Djokovic responded with a grin and said, "I love you, too." He just won his 100th career title and now his aiming for his record 25th at a major tournament. ___ AP tennis:https://apnews.com/hub/tennis
