New friends on the block: Shuttler Saina Nehwal & tennis ace Ana Ivanovic

OLYMPICS is an event where sports stars from across the world come together. It is also a moment to spend time with other sports stars, something one usually can't do.

Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal came across Serbian tennis player Ana Ivanovic and this called for a photograph of course.
