Smith and Djokovic playing Tennis

The people got to witness two of the best sportsmen in the world right now in the Australian Open. Steven Smith and Novak Djokovic were playing a friendly Tennis match against each other, which was enjoyed by the crowd. This was perhaps one of the greatest moments in sports that the people could not take their eyes off. There was also a moment where Smith surprised the legend with a chip shot that landed inside the line. Djokovic could only bow down to the ex-Australia skipper after that shot.

Throughout this event, Smith was also looking as skilled as he looked with a cricket bat in hand. Although this was just a fun and friendly encounter Smith was still looking in perfect form while playing tennis as well. This should not be surprising since we always knew that Smith was a natural athlete who he was not only a master with the bat, but also one of the most agile fielders on the field. The Aussies will never forget this moment when they actually saw both incredible sporting legends live and got a glimpse of their unique personality as well.
