The clip shows the Belarusian slowly walking past the net on Djokovic's side just as he prepared to serve, briefly blocking his view cheekily before he jokingly directed a ball toward her feet.

The video has been making rounds as fans talk about the friendship between the tennis stars. Meanwhile, Sabalenka will be facing Naomi Osaka at the Round of 16 at the BNP Paribas. On the other hand, the 24-time major champion will face Aleksandar Kovacevic for a place in the last 16.
