Throwback Video: Djokovic crashes Dimitrov's post-match press conference at the 2014 BNP Paribas Open

Although the players on the ATP Tour are arguably the most competitive in the world, there is still an element of brotherhood and respect amongst them.

World No.1 Novak Djokovic is known to be jovial and friendly with a lot of his peers. This is evident in his sportsmanship during play and post-match attitude at the net.

However, the Serbian proved that his affable demeanor extends beyond the tennis court. In the clip below, Djokovic jokingly interrupts the post-match press conference of Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov at the 2014 BNP Paribas Open.

After teasing Dimitrov on his looks, the Serbian congratulates him on the success he has had that season. Dimitrov was coming off his first ATP 500 tournament victory, winning the title at Acapulco. He had just reached his career-high ranking (at the time) of No.16. Furthermore, he had reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time, losing to Rafael Nadal.

Needless to say, the Bulgarian was having a great season. Having a champion like Djokovic come by to congratulate him must have been icing on the proverbial cake.
