Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic: first contact in Melbourne causes discussion

First intersection in Melbourne between current world number one Jannik Sinner and 10-time Australian Open winner Novak Djokovic. The video captures the two crossing paths at the locker room door during practice on the courts of the first Slam of the year: the greeting è very quick and apparently cold.

Nole and Jannik just give each other a quick handshake, the Blue smiles slightly but then immediately turns serious again. The contact lasts only a few seconds, and after the greeting the two do not exchange words and continue on their way.

The video è went viral on social media and has inevitably caused discussion, given the positions Djokovic has taken on the Clostebol case involving Sinner, agreeing with Nick Kyrgios.

In practice Djokovic played a set against Carlos Alcaraz, winning 7-5 and showing good form ahead of the tournament that has often seen him dominate.
