faced Wimbledon junior champion Noah Rubin on Thursday night in a charity exhibition at Sportime Stadium on Randalls Island at the John McEnroe Tennis Project Benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Nole won 8-5 in a single pro set, and the match provided valuable experience for the 18-year-old Rubin ahead of next week&#8217;s US Open, his first career Grand Slam event.<\/p>\n<p>In a 1,500 seat stadium, Novak was joined on court by Johnny Mac, NY Ranger superstar Henrik Lundqvist, actor Edward Norton and other special guests for some fun doubles action.<\/p>\n<p>This benefit night also featured a lively auction with all net proceeds to support the efforts of Johnny Mac Tennis Project.<\/p>\n<p>The JMTP provides tennis scholarships and financial assistance to New York City Metropolitan area children and promotes the lifelong sport of tennis for players of all levels.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/jmtc_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
