The best tennis player of all time, Novak Djokovic, will play a third-round match against the Italian Flavio Cobolli in Shanghai starting at 12:30, and it is interesting that just before the match he came across the rival he will play against, in the gym.

While Nole was training and warming up for the match, he came across Cobolli. Djokovic turned and then greeted him warmly, and all this happened in front of TV cameras.

At one point, Novak stopped his stretching exercise when he saw Cobolli, then said hi to him and exchanged a few words, after which he returned to his routine.

With this move, Djokovic once again showed how great he is off the court and why he is among the favorites on the ATP tour, especially among younger players.

Novak and Cobolli have not played against each other so far, so it will be interesting to see how each will adapt to their rival.

In Serbia, Sport Klub will broadcast the match, and you can also follow it on Telegraf's Serbian version in a live blog.

Take a look at what the players' encounter looked like before the match:
