Novak Djokovic is in Dubai, where he will try to win the local ATP 500. The world number 1 will be back in competition after winning a sensational Australian Open title, despite nursing a nasty 3 cm tear in his hamstring.

Novak loves fine-tuning his preparation on the beach when he can. He was caught on video having fun playing soccer on the beach with some kids.

It was lovely to see it.
