Imagine for a moment that you are returning from a trip (or you are leaving) in the Parc de Bercy, just behind the Accor Hotels in Paris.
Your suitcase is a little heavy and struggles to roll among the dead leaves strewn on the ground.
Suddenly, a big guy in shorts and blue tracksuit offers to carry the burden, which suits you well.
This is what just happened to an elderly person.
And it's even better if the savior is called... Novak Djokovic.
If you ever have a suitcase that is too heavy in the Parc de Bercy area, Novak Djokovic may be able to help you đ

The Serbian champion was quietly training in the capital when he came to the aid of this person.
Neither one nor two, he then offers his services and calmly sweeps the distance as if he were behind the baseline, in the middle of amused onlookers.

Beyond this humorous wink, Djokovic has a big meeting to keep this week.
Back down to 7th in the world, Djokovic will try to win a 7th success at the Rolex Paris Masters in Bercy, which begins today.
He will face in the second round, this Tuesday or Wednesday, the winner of the match Schwartzmann - Créssy, which takes place this Monday afternoon.
"It's one of the biggest ATP 1000 tournaments in the world," he explained on RMC on Sunday evening on Marion Bartoli's show.
I have a lot of respect for this event.
I feel really good at Bercy.
I like the city and the playing conditions. In France, there is a history and a tradition of tennis.
"Nole", who is in the lower part of the table with Rafael Nadal, remains on a victory against Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final of the tournament in Astana (Kazakhstan), at the beginning of October.
