Serbian tennis great Novak Djokovic has a newfound bromance with Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios. Last year, the two competed for the Wimbledon title and Djokovic eased past the Aussie in the finals. Ever since, the two have shared a great bond and recently played an exhibition match at the Rod Laver Arena.

While the crowd loved the chemistry between these two players, it was something else that stole the show. In the middle of the match, Djokovic did something funny that people can’t stop talking about. Here’s what happened.

Fans react as Novak Djokovic sways his hips on the court

Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios entertained the fans at Rod Laver Arena with their tennis performance. While the two showed great spirits, people found Djokovic’s mid-match swaying of hip more interesting. The 35-year-old looked in a jovial mood and tried to entertain the fans.

Earlier, the 21-time Grand Slam champion had an injury scare after he left his practice match midway due to a hamstring issue. However, playing against Kyrgios, he looked comfortable and it must give a sigh of relief to his fans. Djokovic’s hip-swaying video went viral on the Internet. Here’s how fans reacted to it on a Reddit thread.

 

Meanwhile, a fan came up with the most important question at the moment.

Another fan took this as an opportunity to take a dig at Nick Kyrgios.

After missing out last year, Djokovic will be a top contender for the Australian Open title this year. In Djokovic’s absence, Rafael Nadal clinched the title last year after an intense match where we saw the gutsy Spaniard prove his mettle yet again.
