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.

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.
