World Class
Wimbledon began on Monday in London, but Didier Drogba wouldn't have looked out of place on Centre Court as he holidayed on the Balearic Isles with friends.
The former Chelsea star wore head-to-toe white as he and his group hung out on one of Formentera's beaches last week.
Despite his tennis attire, Didier, 35, couldn't disguise himself from some beach-dwelling fans, who jumped at the opportunity to have a photo with the Cote D’Ivoire international.
A mixture of girls and guys made up the group, basking in the Spanish sun from the comfort of a rubber speed boat, and this marks another place on the map Didier has visited on his summer break.
Nearly two weeks ago the footballer - who joined Turkish club Galatasaray last January - was back in his home country, in the city of Abidjan but he reportedly had 7,500 euros stolen from his hotel room during his stay.
According to Goal.com, Drogba was staying at the five-star Hotel Ivoire when he found his room ransacked and the large sum of money missing.
The luxury establishment is a favourite for a number of the Ivory Coast national team, and as yet, the police in the Cocody district where the hotel resides, an investigation has been opened but no one has been arrested for the robbery.
Following his Balearic break, Didier headed to Miami for some basketball action where he sat in the stands to watch Miami Heat take on San Antonio Spurls in the NBA Finals.
Last Thursday he watched LeBron James bring the heat late in the game to take the coveted title for the home side at the American Airlines Arena.
Drogba wasn't the only international footballer in the crowd though, as Colombian Radamal Falcao and his former Chelsea teammate Salomon Kalou took in the action and posed for a photo together after the game.
He posted a photo of himself in the crowd, writing: 'Back to back for the Miami Heat!!!! Spurs were very good,what a final but Lebron was Magiiic!!!! See you next year Nba'.
But his last statement might not pan out, if Ivory Coast get through the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
Next year's FIFA tournament kicks off in Rio on June 12th and with the final on July 13th, so it could mean Drogba will be in Brazil during the 2014 NBA Finals.
Drogba's team made their way to the third and final round of the qualifiers last weekend without him but Coach Sabri Lamouchi said the Elephants’ all-time top scorer could make his return during the next set of international friendlies.
