World number one Novak Djokovic needed less than an hour to see off Rafael Nadal in an exhibition match in Bangkok.

Reigning Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open champion Djokovic wrapped up victory in 57 minutes in the Thai capital, winning 6-4 6-2.

The pair, who have 24 grand slam titles between them, visited the site of the Bangkok bomb blast that killed 20 people back in August prior to the contest.

Djokovic and Nadal, accompanied by Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, laid flower garlands at the scene of the explosion at the Erawan shrine.
