As explained in a feature published on TennisTemple last week, padel has been growing in popularity for several years.

Such enthusiasm that some major tennis figures, like Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic, have already been spotted practicing this sport.

An impromptu padel session with Djokovic

Djokovic, indeed, is fully enjoying the off-season. Although he resides in Athens, the Serb was recently spotted in Belgrade during a padel session with four fans.

In the video shared on social media, the former world number one is seen arriving at the complex to give some advice to the players, before playing points with them.

I can't see this sport overtaking tennis. Primarily because the courts are too expensive to construct with the glass walls.

Almost as important to Djokovic as Slam #25--and requiring less luck--is beating Federer's total of 103 singles titles. He'll play 250s, and might even surpass Connors's 109.
