World No. 1 Novak Djokovic is one of the best tennis players in the world. With 20 Grand Slam titles to his name, he stands tied with Roger Federer in their Grand Slam tally.

Moreover, he is just one Grand Slam win away from Rafael Nadal, too, who surpassed him this week. Even though Novak Djokovic is one of the most dominant players in tennis, his skills on-court are not the only thing he is known for.

In fact, Novak had been famous as the enthusiastic, zealous, humorous, and happy-go-lucky guy on tour. Certainly, it started when he was quite young; as we can see, he’d always had a knack for dancing as a kid.

Novak Djokovic has always known how to groove

Djokovic has, on many occasions, busted out plenty of dance moves while on tour. They have either been in celebration or just because the Serbian was feeling good. Be that as it may, he sure does know how to put on a show.

Here’s an old video from 1994, showing a 7-year-old Novak Djokovic busting out his moves to his family’s delight. Much like he is today, little Novak simply has no care in the world, and does what he wants, dances the way he wishes.

Of course, the fancy yellow sunglasses that little Novak wears are hard to miss, too. This certainly explains where Novak Djokovic has gotten his moves from. Moreover, he’s always had the affinity to break into dance on several occasions.

Nevertheless, things looked a little positive for the Serbian when French Minister Roxana Maracineanu stated that Djokovic would be able to play the French Open. At the time, France allowed unvaccinated individuals into the country.

However, things soon changed, as the country introduced new laws that barred the unvaccinated from any public place. In order to move around in France, one would need a vaccine pass- one that Novak Djokovic would not have, owing to his stance on vaccinations.
