World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has been the best player this season by far. He has done something not many have been able to execute – winning the first three Grand Slam titles of the season. The Serb is all set to make it four out of four this year.
Recently, Novak Djokovic was seen practicing with former champion and rival Andy Murray. Both players were involved in some intense rallies and from the looks of it, they were certainly striking the ball well. During the Rome Masters, Andy and Novak had practiced out there as well.

Over the years, these two athletes have been involved in some intense matches. Although most of the wins went in favor of the Serb, the two-time Olympic gold medalist has won two of his three Grand Slam titles beating Djokovic in the finals.
Djokovic began his season in Melbourne and came back home with his 18th Grand Slam title. After that, he came to the French capital high on confidence and won his second title at Roland Garros, bringing his tally up to 19. His win over 13-time champion Rafael Nadal was one of the highlights of the season.
At the All England Club, Novak created history – he won his 20th Grand Slam title, which tied him with arch-rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal for most Grand Slam titles in men’s tennis.
On the other hand, Murray has not played much tennis this season. However, it’s great to see him back competing at the highest level. We wish both players the very best for the upcoming matches at the US Open.
