Ever since Marvel Comics came into existence, they have been loved by the world. Their fame only increased when the cinematic universe was created. No one was immune, including the 24-time grand slam champion, Novak Djokovic. The Serbinator enjoyed the movies just as much as any other individual in the world and showed his love for a character on his social media story. 

Djokovic is not the only tennis player who adores and enjoys Marvel movies. The Queen of the Court and her husband are also well-known Marvel fans and often came into the spotlight because of their love. For now, it’s the Djoker’s turn.

In town for the Indian Wells Masters, Djokovic is primed and ready. The world number 1 will appear in the tournament for the first time since 2019 and will only aim to win the big prize. He first appeared at the Desert Smash charity event and will now play at the BNP Paribas Open to begin his stint in the US. To show his game-ready mindset, he uploaded a video of his Instagram story.

In the video, Nole, who is in the ready stance, gets his racket as it flies to him, like Thor, whose hammer came when he called. He then posed for a backhand, which was followed by a close shot of his grip and his shoes. He also gave a shot of a raised eyebrow and then called the ball to him, to get himself ready for a serve. Along with the video, he added the caption, “Ready #Nolefam? Let’s do this! Idemooo
