Serbian world No.1 Novak Djokovic escaped injury despite copping the brunt of a falling barrier while signing autographs at the Hopman Cup in Perth on Monday.

Djokovic was in good spirits as he mixed with fans after defeating Italian Andreas Seppi 6-3 6-4 at the new $550 million Perth Arena.

But with numerous people leaning over in their bid to get his autograph, the hoarding holding them back toppled over, collecting Djokovic's legs in the process.

Djokovic crouched on the ground in pain after the incident, before limping back to the players' lounge to receive treatment.

However, the 25-year-old was given the all-clear by medical staff and was able to join Ana Ivanovic in the mixed doubles.

Serbia still won the tie 2-1 after singles wins to both Djokovic and Ivanovic.

"It was a bit of a shock and I am glad that the children involved are OK. I am fine," Djokovic said of the injury scare.

The incident capped a turbulent 24 hours for Djokovic, who only arrived in Perth on Sunday evening after winning an exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi.

The lengthy flight over and the four-hour time difference didn't seem to faze Djokovic, who always looked on control against Seppi.

"I arrived quite late last night and didn't get a lot of sleep," Djokovic told the crowd shortly before he got hit by the toppling barrier.

"I felt like I was dream walking this morning.

"But as the match went on, I was managing to get my rhythm."
