We have seen the beautiful photos of two days ago with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic giving high-five in the locker rooms of Indian Wells Stadium 1, and someone asked why it happened. It was Novak Djokovic himself to explain why when he was asked if he had watched the match between Rafa and the German Alexander Zverev: 'Yes, I did.

They played just before me. And, yeah, as well tough luck for Zverev, because he was not one point, but one volley away from winning the match. Had he won, it would be, you know, deserved so' - Nole said. 'But on the other hand, Nadal has shown how he has been one of the best players ever in the game and one of the toughest competitors.

He never gives up and makes you earn your victory. Credit to him. Credit to both of them. I think they played a great match. Very entertaining to watch. Zverev has a very bright future if he continues playing this way. He's on the right path.

He's very young, so we will see more of him in the future'. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: ´Gasquet never Doped. Sharapova? I haven´t said it anything against her´
