It is difficult to believe that Novak Djokovic is 36. The Serb is getting better with each passing day and last season, dominated the circuit, winning several big tournaments. Ahead of the 2024 season, Djokovic seems to continue from where he left off last season. He showed off his insane tennis skills during an exhibition match in Saudi Arabia.

Djokovic is playing at the Riyadh Tennis Season Cup. It is an exhibition event before the 2024 season begins so that the players can get acclimatized to these conditions. Let’s find out about Djokovic’s crazy shot that left everyone stunned.

Novak Djokovic hits the perfect return

The Serb was up against Carlos Alcaraz at the Riyadh Tennis Season Cup. While Djokovic won the opening set, Alcaraz came back strongly to win the next two sets to win the match. However, during the match, an interesting scene occurred that caught everyone’s eye.

Alcaraz was serving in the fourth game, being three breakpoints down. On this occasion, Djokovic hit a sumptuous forehand return that went past Alcaraz. It left the Spaniard stranded and he was left wondering what had happened. After Djokovic hit the return, he did some action through his hand that suggested that the shot was too hot to handle.

It was a perfect start for Djokovic in the first match of the 2024 season, albeit an exhibition event. However, Alcaraz came back strongly to level the match 1-1. In the final set, Alcaraz took the lead early which proved to be enough as he powered past Djokovic in three sets 4-6, 6-4, 6-4.
