Edinburgh’s Jacob Fearnley has been practising with serial grand slam winner Novak Djokovik as he attempts to take his tennis career up a level.

The 24-year-old Scot, currently world No 78, earned the respect of Djokovic when the pair met at Wimbledon last year and it seems a relationship has been maintained judging by a photograph published on Jacob’s Instagram page today.

It shows the pair on court ih a stadium believed to be the venue for next week’s inaugural Hellenic Open in Athens which has replaced Belgrade on the ATP circuit.

The arena usually hosts basketball but it has also been used for a European song contest.

Djokovic recently moved his family from Serbia to Greece which is now his base.
