WATCH: Novak Djokovic and Fabio Fognini doubles dance moves and Nick Kyrgios sound bites
Forget the singles, the doubles is where it is at the BNP Paribas Open with world No 1 Novak Djokovic and Fabio Fognini, and Nick Kyrgios providing plenty of entertainment.
Djokovic and Fognini beat Jeremy Chardy and Milos Raonic 7-6 (7-5), 6-1 and then also produced the celebration of the tournament. Well, so far anyway.
