2011 was a great year for Serbian players like Novak Djokovic, and Janko Tipsarevic, but a joke made their year a little harder. They felt life was good and they can shoot anyone with the skills. Djokovic won his second Wimbledon title and third grand slam title of his career. He reached the world’s top ranking while‌ Janko made it to the third rank, ‌making all the Serbs happy and enchanted. 

Nevertheless, it’s been a decade since the Serbian star has grown into one of the finest tennis players in this era. The former world number one has won 21 Grand Slam titles in his time, and still a potential competitor. 

Janko Tipsarevic trolled over a joke, including two big players

It wasn’t the first time the Serbian team had advanced to the semifinals of the Davis Cup, when they defeated the Swedish team in that same year. However, following the victory, the former tennis player posted a picture on social media of Djokovic standing with his hands raised and a plastic toy gun pointed at him. The 38-year-old captioned the picture saying, “How much $€£ would #Nadal gief??;)” The picture itself with the caption created chaos in a day, resulting in the Serbian star removing the picture from his social media.

However, after when asked about the picture and explained the reason behind the picture, the former player said, “That was…it was a bad joke, you know. We were really happy that we won Davis Cup. Just, at that time it seemed funny, because the joke was about how dominant Novak is, that nothing can stop him this season, you know?”
