20-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic is finally back on court after a nightmare start in 2022. The Serbian is currently playing at the Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Championships. Yesterday, the Serb beat the Italian Lorenzo Musetti in emphatic fashion to announce his comeback on the tour. 

In the past, Novak had plenty of controversial moments both on and off the court. However, he also showed his generous and kind side repeatedly. This time at the Dubai Open, everyone witnessed the same sort of kindness from World No. 1. 

A boy receives a present from Novak Djokovic

Earlier in the Summer, Novak Djokovic had to leave Australia with loads of disappointment. Yesterday was his first-ever match in this calendar year and it was his first win as well. However, one interesting thing happened after the match, as Novak Djokovic gifted his match gear or the t-shirt to a young boy.

After receiving the award, the young boy was over the moon, as he hugged Djokovic in a heartwarming moment. It was certain the kid was a Nole fan and his face, after receiving the gift, said it all. 

Who will Novak face next in Dubai?

At the Australian Open, Novak was aiming for his 21st Grand Slam and 10th Australian Open title. However, his dream remained a dream as he was deported back to Serbia following his court case with the Australian Government. Since then, the Serbian was roaring to get back on the court and fire back at his critics.
