He, like Andy Murray has done in years past, embraced the chance for a unique photo-op.

This year's tournament includes some heavy star power with defending champion Milos Raonic, Stan Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori and Dominic Thiem all entered alongside Nadal. Murray is entered in an even heavier field in Doha with Novak Djokovic.
