Two kids drew images of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal for Jannik Sinner, Holger Rune, Andrey Rublev, and other ATP stars to guess. Although some of the players faltered at first, most of them got the answers right.
The ATP Tour took to Instagram to share a short clip of two kids explaining their creative drawings of Djokovic and Nadal.
In her drawing, the young girl depicted Djokovic ripping his shirt in celebration, which Andrey Rublev, Jannik Sinner, Arthur Fils, and Denis Shapovalov correctly guessed—though Rune amusingly guessed Carlos Alcaraz.
The players were then shown the video of the young girl revealing that it was Djokovic but she could not pronounce the Serb's name correctly.
Next, it was an image drawn by the young boy of Nadal. A fist pump celebration, long hair, and a Nike headband were visible, giving most of the players enough clues to answer correctly. Another pronunciation mishap between the kids while revealing the answer added to the laughter.

"I'll cherish our rivalry forever" - Novak Djokovic's message for Rafael Nadal after their Six Kings Slam encounter
Rafael Nadal took to social media earlier this month to announce that he would retire from tennis after the Davis Cup Finals in November. He received touching tributes from several personalities across the sporting world.
In his final appearance on the court during the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia, Nadal took on Novak Djokovic for the third-place playoff. The pair had faced each other 60 times on tour with the Serb edging it 31-29.
In Riyadh, the Serb defeated Nadal in straight sets and hugged him in a long embrace at the net after the match. He applauded his long-time rival before giving him a heartwarming farewell message.
The 24-time Grand Slam winner shared a picture of their embrace at the net on X and wrote:
“The last dance was an epic one. And of course emotional. I’ll cherish our rivalry forever, @rafaelnadal. Tennis will miss you. As-salamu alaykum, Riyadh. #SixKingsSlam is a special tournament. See you soon,” the Serb said.
Nadal also had kind words for his Serbian rival. The 38-year-old said during the post-match on-court interview:
"We have had an amazing rivalry, You helped me to go over my limits so thank you for that, because without that, I would probably not be the player that I am today."
On November 19, Nadal's Spain will take on the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup Finals.
