Novak Djokovic's competitive drive has not been dampened by the coronavirus lockdown.

With all tennis being put on hold during the global pandemic, Djokovic has been forced to swap out the clay season a shinier - marble? - floor inside his house.

Trade in two tennis racquets for frying pans, recruit brother Marko and you've got yourself a neat little set up complete with extravagant golden chair-and-cushion net.

The world no.1 was on typical form but his brother, four years his junior and ranked 450 in the world, was a willing rival in an impressive 20-stroke rally.

Complete with a few trick shots through the legs, the brothers went pan to pan until Marko was unable to lift ball over cushion on the angle and Novak celebrated by collapsing to the floor, spread-eagled, in trademark style.

We wait for the rematch with bated breath. How about a live stream option next time?
