Video: Djokovic Plays a Fan—Who Pulls Off a Trick Shot Against World No. 1

Some of Novak Djokovic's most loyal fans are pretty accomplished players themselves.

Francesco Nguyen, an American fan who won Head's Upgrade Your Game Contest, not only got a meet-and-greet with the world No. 1, he got a chance to play against Djokovic, too.

The result was some pretty impressive shotmaking from both men.

Watch the 1:30 mark of the above video where Francesco shows some fine hands with a soft lob that sends Djokovic scurrying back to the baseline where Nole pulls off the no-look, behind the back passing shot winner.

"You wanted to play a game, man," Djokovic says after that slick winner.

Perhaps inspired by his tennis role model or maybe just showcasing skills he learned at the Mansour Bahrami school of serving, Francesco responds with his own trick shot winner that leaves the Djoker smiling.

Francesco made a video to win the Head contest. He's got a video memory for life of his match with Nole.

Well done, Francesco.
