Along with being a record breaker, Novak Djokovic is also an entertainer. He has always been building a healthy bond with fellow players. With a few tricks on the court, Djokovic has been able to impersonate many famous personalities. The fans will remember him imitating Maria Sharapova Rafael Nadal and many other pros.
Djokovic showed his latest ballerina move at Turin during the Nitto ATP Finals. He was asked who’s action was by the reporter, who did a twirl. Djokovic kept thinking and asked if a female tennis player did it.
Djokovic at first thought it was a rodeo and repeated the move. His twirl did impress the fans. One of the seniormost players on tour, Djokovic is always ready for some moves.

Jannik Sinner was also not able to guess the player after watching the reporter’s impersonation. However, Novak got it right by saying it was Serena Williams. Djokovic went ahead and did a twirl himself to correct the reporter. Fans clearly saw Novak’s precision in his observation and the authenticity of his impersonation. “Novak Was Spot On,” commented a fan after watching the video.
Djokovic had imitated Serena’s serve routine a decade ago. This year, he has been dancing right from the Cincinnati Masters. Even at the Paris Masters, Djokovic learned a dance step with Gael Monfils. The Serbian seems to enjoy his time on the court with fellow players. There will be more dance steps and records for him to look forward to at the Nitto ATP Finals.
Novak Djokovic once again pays tribute to Kobe Bryant with another new record
Djokovic is currently playing in his 16th Nitto ATP Finals event. Within three hours, he won the opening match against Holger Rune, consisting of 87 winners and 28 aces. Djokovic ensured his top spot in the rankings was safe with the victory. It will be a record eight years of the 36-year-old finishing the season as the world No.1.
Djokovic had faced stiff competition from Carlos Alcaraz over the past few months. But the Spaniard’s inconsistency has prevented him from securing the top spot this season. Meanwhile, Djokovic paid tribute to his former friend and idol, Kobe Bryant, after securing the top place on the tour. No.8 was Bryant’s jersey number during his initial time at Los Angeles Lakers.
A few months ago, Novak Djokovic won his 24th Grand Slam & wore a Kobe Bryant shirt in honor of his good friend.
Today, Novak secures the year-end world #1 ranking for the 8th time.
This is the most in history, and 8 is also Kobe Bryant’s original number.
