Former India captain MS Dhoni made a surprise appearance at the 2025 US Open as he witnessed tennis legend Novak Djokovic in action at the Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday. The 44-year-old cricket icon was spotted enjoying the high-stakes quarter-final clash between Djokovic and American Taylor Fritz, accompanied by his close friend and businessman Hitesh Sanghvi.

The stadium, packed to capacity, buzzed with energy as Djokovic delivered a commanding performance to overpower Fritz in four sets. Sanghvi later shared a video of Dhoni cheering from the stands, where the World Cup-winning captain was seen fully immersed in the electric atmosphere of the Grand Slam event.

Djokovic, now 38, showed no signs of slowing down as he dispatched the 27-year-old American with characteristic precision and control. With this win, the Serbian star advanced to his 14th semi-final at the US Open, equaling the long-standing record held by American great Jimmy Connors for the most appearances in the last four of the tournament.
