Novak Djokovic and Fabio Fognini to Go Live

Djokovic was somewhat low-key during the early days of the Tour suspension. That was until he and Andy Murray decided to do their own Instagram session a few days back. Having had a ton of fun, Djokovic scheduled another session the following day, this time with his good friend Stan Wawrinka.

And now, the Serb will strike up a conversation with Italian player Fabio Fognini.
