Novak Djokovic Enjoys Training as He Hops on the Treadmill Ahead of ATP Dubai Open Comeback

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic is known to be one of the most fun-loving players on the tour. He is often seen having fun moments on the court, imitating different players, dancing on the court, etc.

Djokovic, who was recently denied an opportunity to defend his title at the Australian Open, never fails to cheer up his fans. The Serb was deported from Australia citing his vaccine status. However, he seems to have recovered from the disappointment ahead of his return at the ATP 500 Dubai Open. 

He was seen having a light moment during some indoor training on the treadmill ahead of his scheduled return in Dubai.
