Although today there were no official matches yet, the Rod Laver Arena crowd had nothing to complain about with what the organization had prepared for them. Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, Lleyton Hewitt, Patrick Rafter, and Ashlgieh Barty in a doubles exhibition where this group of legends delighted the spectators with every move. It was curious when Federer noticed that Novak Djokovic was in the front row watching his match. What did the Swiss do? He paused the game for a few seconds and went to shake hands with the Serbian. That's the way to go.
