Right before Djokovic’s match, when all the top 8 players arrived at the venue of the tournament, they were met with a lot of interviews. One of them involved a guessing game where a female interviewer was performing a twirl and the players had to guess who it was. One of the players guessing was Novak Djokovic.

At first, he wasn’t able to guess the player. But then, when he finally caught up, he guessed it correctly. He mentioned, “I know. Serena does it.” But he did not stop there. He went ahead and performed the same twirl that Williams did during the interview.
In fact, he also corrected the lady who was doing the twirl for the guessing game. He said that she was doing it wrong and then he did the twirl in the correct way. This definitely caught a lot of attention from his fans and they could not stop themselves from reacting to his post. Here are some of the most hilarious and fun reactions we found.

The last of the comments was, “Djoker is too funny.” The fan played on Djokovic’s name and mixed it up with the word ‘joker’ – in a funny bid to recall his nickname. Surely, amid all the stress of finishing out the season on top, the Serb didn’t forget to let loose!
