GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — Novak Djokovic walked out onto the first tee for the Ryder Cup All-Star match with a tennis racket in his hand and pretended to take a swing at his golf ball. Then the 24-time Grand Slam champion went back to his bag and pulled out his driver and drove his tee shot down the right side of the fairway. His highlight came on the reachable par-4 16th when he drove the green. He says “obviously I am much more comfortable hitting a tennis ball with my racket but I don’t think I did too bad today.”
