World number one Novak Djokovic will lock horns with Rafael Nadal in a sold-out exhibition match at Bangkok's Hua Mark Indoor Stadium on Friday.

The match is aimed at boosting confidence in safety following deadly Bangkok bomb blast last month, Sport24 reported.

During their visit to Thailand, the tennis duo met Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha and also visited the site of attack, where about 20 people lost their life.

Djokovic and Nadal also offered tennis racquets to Prayuth, who also asked them to help in promoting Thai tourism.
