Djokovic and Nadal play football tennis in Milan exhibition

Both champions are having a little fun before next playing in Sha

Published Sep 23, 2016

In Milan for the Djokovic and Friends exhibition, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic had a little fun blending tennis with soccer (or football, whichever you prefer). The two champions battled for a good cause, with proceeds going to the Novak Djokovic Foundation to help underprivileged children in Serbia.

When play eventually returned to normal tennis, Djokovic won the match 6-4, 6-4. Both are expected to play the ATP Masters 1000 in Shanghai, beginning on October 9.
