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.
