Novak Djokovic finishes as the runner-up in the Shanghai Masters and has an emotional and heartfelt reaction after seeing Roger Federer in the stands. The Serbian legend still misses his rivalry against the Swiss maestro and wishes he was still playing the game along with them.
The Shanghai Masters saw the legendary Novak Djokovic battle against World number 1 Jannik Sinner and though we couldn't see him win his 100th career title, it was still a great tournament for the Serbian Legend who still played some great tennis and even gave a great fight to Sinner in the first set which he eventually lost in a tie-breaker. Though the result did not go his way it was still great to see Djokernole perform in the Asian Tour and look to make a comeback in the Asian tour.
Djokovic still misses the Maestro on the court
Though this was not a Grand Slam final there was a huge crowd who came to see the two players battle it out and it also featured some big legends as that also included Djokernole's longtime rival Roger Federer who witnessed the match from the fans. Though Djokovic lost the finals he did lose his magic with words where he not only acknowledged Federer in the stands but also got everyone emotional by saying " I wish you were down here playing with us”.

It was great to see one legend showing his respect to another and it was great to hear that Djokernole still missed playing against the Swiss Maestro who was one of his greatest rivals in the game. This was a very touching gesture from the Serbian and though he was not victorious on the court he still won everyone's heart on the day.
