Novak Djokovic showed his class by stepping away from a live interview to console his beaten rival.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old, who stands alone in the male game with 24 Grand Slam singles titles across his career, beat Grigor Dimitrov in the final of the Paris Masters on Sunday to pocket over \u00a3700,00 in prize money.<\/p>\n

As he spoke to the Eurosport presenter following his lifting of the silverware, Djokovic took a look over his shoulder and moved away from the microphone to hug his Bulgarian opponent.<\/p>\n

The world No.17 slipped to a 6-4 6-3 defeat as he missed out on a second ATP Masters 1000 title six years after his victory over Nick Kyrgios in the Cincinnati Masters. Having missed his chance of glory, Dimitrov couldn't hide his disappointment while burying his head into his towel.<\/p>\n

The crowd responded in delight after Djokovic stepping in, with social media users hailing his actions. One response read: "Novak is a beautiful soul and sportsman." A second added: I have such respect for this man."<\/p>\n

A third agreed: Well done Djokovic an inspiration to millions of people around the world!" A fourth posted: What a guy total respect brilliant sportsmanship." A fifth then agreed: "He is out of this world."<\/p>\n

It's fair to say that many others didn't agree with that sentiment, saying that Djokovic was just playing up for the cameras. Djokovic has now won 40 ATP Masters titles, which is more than Roger Federer and Pete Sampras combined.<\/p>\n
