If there’s anything more adorable than the No. 1 golfer in the world coming down onto the court during his girlfriend’s tennis match at Madison Square Garden to play a point with Maria Sharapova, we haven’t see it.

Rory McIlroy, who assumed the top ranking by winning the Honda Classic on Sunday, joined his girlfriend, Caroline Wozniacki, on the hard court during an exhibition match at Madison Square Garden on Monday.

McIlroy played a point with Sharapova, Wozniacki’s opponent, and won, technically — although Sharapova may have not been giving it 110 percent.

The cute moment followed an attempt by Sharapova to have some fun. After dancing with a little girl on the court, Sharapova briefly danced with an older gentleman, but the funny moment turned a little creepy when the man seemed to get a little too excited and kept the dance going a little while longer than Sharapova seemed to have liked.

Fortunately, Wozilroy was there to ease the uncomfortableness.

Rory may not have much tennis training, but he’s got one of those magnetic energy bands, so he should be all set.
