Recently, a video was uploaded on ATP's Twitter account where Novak Djokovic was seen playing tennis with a bunch of kids on the streets of Belgrade without any net. According to UK's Daily Mail, Novak Djokovic spoke about the incident and said that while he was coming back with rackets, he saw a few locals play tennis without a net. He then spontaneously decided to join them and play the game.

He also told the kids that he was going to bring a net between two lamp posts to hook them up and play nicely. He said that one lives for such moments and since he is a father, he will invoke these situations to play with his children since Djokovic himself started playing the game by hitting the ball on the wall of a road or tennis court as a child. Novak Djokovic will be back in action, starting with the Dubai ATP competition, before playing at the Masters events in Indian Wells and Miami next month.
