Novak Djokovic doesn't always show the softer side of him when he's on court or on camera but it was a different on Tuesday (July 5). The six-time champion won the hearts of the crowd after his kind gesture towards Jannik Sinner of Italy. It all happened in the fourth set during the clash between Djokovic and Sinner. The Serbian was going all gas on Sinner pounding him with hard and powerful forehands and at one moment Sinner tumbled while running towards the ball and fell down badly.
Djokovic jumped over the net when the Italian fell and helped him straight away asking him if he's okay. Later on, Sinner got up and was ready to resume the match again.
