Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic is set to begin his campaign for his 25th Grand Slam title at Roland Garros this week. However, on Friday, he already made headlines for his unexpected role during a pre-tournament exhibition match between Naomi Osaka and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga against Jannik Sinner and Daria Pavliuchenko.

During the match, when Jannik Sinner and Daria Pavliuchenko were leading 8-0, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga complained of muscle tension and discomfort, suggesting he wasn't in his best form.

This prompted Novak Djokovic to step in, not as a competitor but as a compassionate figure. He wiped the sweat off Tsonga's face, a gesture that seemed almost symbolic given that Djokovic had faced Tsonga in his first Grand Slam final at the Australian Open over 15 years ago.

But that wasn't all. Djokovic then decided to act as a physiotherapist, doing everything he could to help his friend. He even gave Tsonga a shoulder massage, turning the moment into a memorable event that drew smiles from both the audience and other players.

The reaction was shared on social media, capturing the spirit of camaraderie in tennis:

Tsonga feeling a bit tight, so Nole came to the rescue 😅 #RolandGarros
