Novak Djokovic made the most of his time in Paris over the past couple of weeks and ended with another title.

The tennis star, who is the reigning Australian, French and US Open champion might be 36 but he is showing no signs of slowing down, with the Paris Masters triumph edging him closer to 100 ATP titles to show there are still milestones to hit.

En route to the crown - the 97th of his career - he treated the French crowd to a party piece against Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the round of 32, pulling off an outrageous backhand shot and fans were stunned.

One fan replied: "This man is ageing like a damn fine wine."

And another wrote: "Serbian Spiderman."

While a third posted: "Are you watching? Djokovic never took his foot off the gas."

This fan commented: "Djokovic's movement at 36 and a half is unparalleled. He is still the best mover in tennis and it's not close. One of the greatest athletes of all time."

Another said: "Two minutes of play… and Novak Djokovic reminds everyone that he didn't come to Paris just to attend the Rugby World Cup final or the Ballon d'Or ceremony."

That last point rings true with Djokovic popping up at various events over the past couple of weeks in the French capital.

Over the course of the month, the tennis supremo made his way to the Ballon d'Or ceremony where he met Lionel Messi, who is also aged 36.

The two sporting icons, aged just a month apart, are remarkably similar in having rivalled with an elder master of their craft in Roger Federer and Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, in recent years, there can be little argument that Djokovic and Messi have moved ahead of them to become the undisputed greatest of all time.

Messi won the World Cup in Qatar with Argentina while landing his eighth Ballon d'Or in the process on Monday, a record and three ahead of Ronaldo's five.

Djokovic, meanwhile, has won the most Grand Slam titles in history with 24 in total compared to Federer, who has 20.

Head to head, Djokovic also emerges best with a record of 27-23 against his Swiss rival, including 13–6 in finals.

But away from football and tennis, he seemed to enjoy another sport in rugby.

With the Rugby World Cup being held in France, Djokovic was in town during the final, which was held at the Stade de France in Paris.

Sitting in the stands, bizarrely with UK pop artist Rita Ora, was the tennis star and even looked surprised to see his face come up on screen.

He watched on as South Africa beat New Zealand 12-11 in a gripping final while he has plans to go on to win silverware himself this month.

And when he finally won again, he melted hearts when he broke off his post-match interview to console the beaten Grigor Dimitrov, who had his hand in his towel.

It won him applause and showed a side he doesn't usually show on court.
