Tennis player Novak Djokovic found himself at the center of a humorous prank after the ATP Tour produced a viral video showcasing his alleged alter ego, ‘Bert Critchley’. As the amusing video surfaced, Djokovic, or rather ‘Critchley’, can be seen standing in front of a mirror in a lavatory, pulling off his shirt in a rehearsed moment.

Fans shared their reactions to the hilarious video, and Jelena Djokovic could not help but share her own thoughts on the matter. She wrote, “Classic 😂😂😂”, which became a short or meaningful reply. She also showed her skills in the joking department as she donned the role of her husband as the Djoker of tennis.
