Novak Djokovic is one personality who has controversy surrounding himself. The Serbian also has another side to him. Followers of the sport often refer him to as the Djoker. His antics on and off the court tend to leave watchers and his fans in a split. An Instagram account recently reminded fans of the silly ways in which Djokovic sometimes acts on the court. They shared a video of the Djoker accidentally hitting a ball girl in the 2007 Madrid Open. Followers of the account left several hilarious comments after the event.

This is not the only event in which Djokovic hit someone on the court. In the 2020 US Open, Djokovic hit a lineswoman after a point loss and the officials promptly disqualified him from the tournament.

Djokovic made a slight mistake in calculations as the ball flew at a high speed towards the head of an unfortunate ball girl.
