The Serbian tennis player recently won his 101st title, and now he is enjoying a break before starting preparations for the new season and the Australian Open.

In the Greek capital, Nole is enjoying the local beaches on the outskirts of the city, mostly avoiding the prying eyes, but he failed to avoid a legendary former Olympiacos footballer, who asked to take a photo with him.

This is Nery Castillo, who was a member of the Piraeus-based club from 2000 to 2007 and who during his career was also in demand both as a citizen of Uruguay and Mexico.

He now expressed his admiration for Djokovici in the caption of the photo.

During his career, Castillo also played for Shakhtar, Manchester City, Dnipro, Chicago, Aris, Pachuca, Leon, and Rayo Vallecano. In 2012, there was speculation that he could joint Serbia's Red Star (Crvena Zvezda)...

Castillo scored 43 goals in the 159 games he played for Olympiacos.

Today, Castillo sells fishing equipment and accessories in Athens, and also has a shop on the Fournoi islands.
