Although he maintains composure while playing off-court, Novak Djokovic loves to keep a calm and joking demeanor. He is receiving immense praise from around the world. With his record 23rd grand slam win, on clay no less, he has shown off his ability in the racket sport. Another jokester of the field, Nick Kyrgios, congratulated Djokovic with an inside joke which also prompted a reply from the ATP number 1.
While Kyrgios leads his personality as a master of banter, he recently warned Coco Gauff not to wish for it. Gauff is a player who wants players to have banter and trash talk on the court. The Aussie told Gauff not to have too much hope about such an interaction.
