If it's a major sporting event -– heck, even if it's a glorified Kentucky basketball practice -- you can bet Drake will be there.

So it should be no surprise that the star rapper traveled to the All England Club for Serena and Venus Williams' round of 16 matchup at Wimbledon Monday.

Watching from Serena's guest box seats, Drake witnessed the no. 1 seed defeat her sister 6-4, 6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals.

But the fun was just getting started.

Drake interacted with a number of tennis stars Tuesday, sharing photos with John McEnroe and Novak Djokovic to his Instagram account.

He also spent some time with former women's tennis star Billie Jean King.

Drake's dalliances with the sports world's hottest stars have gone well documented over the years. After Kentucky won its Final Four game over Wisconsin in 2014, he was seen in the Wildcats' locker room. After the Heat won the NBA Finals in 2013, he was seen with them at a Miami nightclub.

He's sported everything from Jonny Manziel gear to attire supporting the soccer clubs Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea.

We don't know, however, where his tennis allegiances lie. While it's safe to conclude that Drake is rooting for Serena, he hasn't been seen publicly with her after winning a major tournament.

Of course, that could change if Drake stays in London for the week. He sat in Serena's guest box again Tuesday, this time with her sister Venus, and watched her defeat Victoria Azarenka 3–6, 6–4, 6–2.
