The pair, during their recuperation, also enjoyed a meeting with the Tennis champion who is currently playing in the Monte Carlo Masters Tournament. It was not long before a football-sized tennis ball was being kicked and passed between the three sportspersons at the Monte Carlo Club Concourse.
A short round of a light game of keepie uppies engaged the audience, who were cheering up for the trio. The passing went on for a while before Novak eventually dropped the ball and lost the game. Novak dug his face in his T-shirt as the crowd erupted in a light-hearted chuckle.
Novak has shared the clip of the game on his Twitter.
