Novak Djokovic began his bid for a record-extending fifth Paris Masters title with a 7-5, 6-1 win against Joao Sousa in the second round on Tuesday, and lent a helping hand to a spectator in the process.

Serving for the match at 5-1, Djokovic handed a towel to a man in the crowd who seemed unwell and who wiped his forehead with it.

"It seemed he was sweating and he seemed dizzy, so he just needed help," Djokovic said. "I just gave him the towel." Djokovic revealed he also was not feeling very well out on court.

"I wasn't," he said. "I don't want to get into details but I think it's a minor thing."
"I feel good," Federer told a news conference. "I feel like I recovered well from last week."
"As long as I don't feel like I'm taking a chance on my health prior to London, that's the key as well."
"Last week was special to win the way I did it, in a different manner."
