Novak Djokovic had a rather tough opening match on Sunday at the ATP Finals when it took more than 3 hours before he managed to defeat Holger Rune. There was a lovely moment at the beginning of the match when a sweet ballgirl seemed to have something to say to the Serbian champion. Nole has a great heart and obviously was very careful in paying attention to the young girl.
