1989 French Open doubles finalist Mansour Bahrami revealed Novak Djokovic approached him a few years ago and told him he was a fan of his tennis.
Iran is not a really country known for tennis, but Bahrami was lucky that his father worked as a gardner in a large sports complex that featured wide range of sports courts. In singles, Bahrami never enjoyed much success as he never broke into the top-15. Bahrami is known as a great entertainer and his matches feature a wide range of trick shots.
