Novak Djokovic plays table tennis at the Paris Master

Djokovic made a flying start to his defense of the Paris Masters title. He defeated the American tennis star Maxime Cressy in straight sets. While the 22-time Grand Slam champion has already booked his slot in the ATP Finals, he would be aiming for a perfect finish in the Paris Masters as well.

The 35-year-old also had a light-hearted off-court moment during the tournament. He tried his hand at table tennis. The Serb uploaded a clip from his table tennis game on his Twitter account. In the video, we can see Djokovic losing a point against his opponent, a ball boy.

Cameron Norrie, unhappy with Novak Djokovic’s qualification to the ATP Tour Finals

Cameron Norrie had a good year and fell short of a few ranking points to qualify for the ATP Finals. However, the Briton could have made it if Wimbledon points were in consideration. Since his year’s Wimbledon had no ranking points, his semifinal run in the grass-court Grand Slam went in vain.

On the other hand, Djokovic, who defeated him in the semifinal and later won the tournament, got the advantage of winning a Grand Slam title and qualified for the ATP Finals. Norrie was not happy with it because he believes it was an unfair advantage as players like himself and Kyrgios didn’t get the advantage of their brilliant performances in Wimbledon.
