Qinwen Zheng and Novak Djokovic played against each other in the United Cup in mixed doubles, and that was a lot of fun.
Zheng surprised Djokovic by smashing a return back over the net towards him after he had served and a mini-rally. Djokovic curled up into a ball, then he rose up and made the comical ‘I am watching you signal’ by putting two fingers to his eyes and pointing them back at ‘Queenwen’.
Not so star-stuck now 😅
