Djokovic teams up with Troicki to replicate ‘Gypsy’
In an old video from 2010, Djokovic and his Serbian teammate Troicki recreated the video from Shakira’s song. The song also features none other than the 22-time Grand Slam champ Rafael Nadal. The Serbian spoke about the video with Troicki.
He is quoted saying, “Gypsy. Oh, my God. I’ve seen it. My brother sent me. I’ve seen it last night, or it was this morning before the match. It make me relax a little bit. You know, I was nervous before the match, and then I was laughing unbelievable for two minutes.”
“We are very proud. I haven’t spoken to Nadal still what he thinks about it. I think he would be proud of my performance of Shakira,” he added.
Djokovic, earlier imitated service motions of Nadal, Andy Roddick and Maria Sharapova during the 2007 US Open. Since then, the ‘Djoker’ has developed a reputation.
