Well, this may be a first. After losing to Novak Djokovic in the second round of Doha 6-3, 6-4, Horacio Zeballos stopped as he was exiting the court to ask for a selfie.

"Sorry, but I have the best selfie of the day..." Zeballos wrote. "Nole, a genius. I figure... I loved it."

Djokovic approved:

Why not document your chance at playing with a living legend, right? The No. 71-ranked Zeballos spends most of his time on the ATP Challenger tour, and at 31, may not have many more chances to compete against the Serb.

You may remember Zeballos for his heroics in Miami last year, where he came through qualifying to upset Juan Martin del Potro and Fernando Verdasco on his way to the fourth round.

Djokovic will face Radek Stepanek in the quarterfinals, while Zeballos will have that souvenir to cherish on the flight to his next tournament.
