At the Night with Novak event held Down Under, Aussie sports stars came out for a fundraising exhibition benefiting the Novak Djokovic Foundation and entertaining fans in Melbourne and the world over.

At one point, Olympic wheelchair tennis champion Dylan Alcott took to the court against Djokovic to show off some gliding baseline coverage.

"I think this is a bit unfair for me, what do you reckon?" Alcott said. "I mean, Novak has got his perfectly working legs. Who wants to see Novak try it in a wheelchair?"

The evening at Margaret Court Arena began with Djokovic and up-and-comer Alexander Zverev playing a Fast4-styled exhibition that the 19-year-old German clinched. Check out the full event here.
