Besides emphasizing his intent to be in good spirits, Djokovic’s quirky sense of humor has been a subject of fascination among fans and fellow players alike. The Serb effortlessly mimics the on-court mannerisms and eccentricities of his colleagues. The Serbian GOAT explored his stance on imitations, the famous spoofs he has performed, and the humorous anecdotes associated with them.

In 2009, Pericoli asked Djokovic to imitate Rafael Nadal in Rome, right in front of the Spanish tennis maestro. Djokovic jovially recalled, “I made Rafa’s imitation because he had won; if I had won, I would never have done it. I would have thought: if I imitate him after I beat him, Rafa kills me…”
