<\/p>\n
Barack<\/strong> <\/strong>and Michelle Obama<\/strong> cheered on Novak Djokovic<\/strong> from the front row of the tennis superstar’s US Open match Monday night … an interesting sight — considering the trio couldn’t have been more in disagreement over the COVID vaccine for the past few years.<\/p>\n No. 44 and his wife were spotted clapping after most of the Joker’s points in his dominant win over Alexandre Muller<\/strong> at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The match marked the first time Djokovic was able to participate in the famous tournament since 2021 — as he wasn’t allowed to travel<\/strong> to the U.S. last year due to his unwillingness to get the COVID vax.<\/p>\n Of course, the Obamas have staunchly urged people to get the jab since it became available years ago — even sharing videos of them receiving it back in 2021.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Seems all three were able to put their differences aside Monday night, however … ’cause it was all smiles from each party throughout the evening.<\/p>\n Hours before Djokovic’s big win, the Obamas took in Coco Gauff<\/strong>‘s match against Laura Siegemund<\/strong> … and the U.S. star couldn’t have been more thrilled about it.<\/p>\n Despite a frustrating match where she argued with officials over the way Siegemund was taking extended breaks between points … Gauff said her whole mood changed when she got to meet with the Obamas afterward.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “I was like, ‘Oh, my God,'” Gauff said, starstruck after their meetup. “I haven’t soaked it in because I literally just walked in here. I think I’m going to never forget that moment for the rest of my life. I went from being really upset after a win to, like, being really happy.”<\/p>\n She even said the two offered her advice — and were proud of her for sticking up for herself during her match.<\/p>\n
