Rock and tennis came together on Wednesday at the Miami Open presented by Itau, where Bon Jovi met Marat Safin, Joao Fonseca and Andrey Rublev.
The rock icon enjoyed an easy-going chat with ATP No. 1 Club Member Safin and Rublev before Safin and Bon Jovi posed for a photo. The American star then spent time with 19-year-old Brazilian Fonseca, who could play Carlos Alcaraz in the second round in Miami.

Safin brought his own brand of rock-and-roll tennis during his career, but never quite found his top level in Miami, where his best result was a quarter-final run in 2002. Rublev, meanwhile, enjoyed a strong showing in Florida in 2021, reaching the semi-finals. Fonseca reached the third round on his debut last year.
Bon Jovi is a regular visitor to the ATP Masters 1000 event, having spent time with Novak Djokovic at the tournament last year. The rock star has also hit on court in the past with Cameron Norrie.
