However, while he lives up to his No. 1 rank with his dominating tennis, he fails to meet his ‘musician’ expectations. The 34-year-old took a break from his spectacular gameplay as he explored the talents hidden up his sleeve. Although, many would suggest he stick to the racquet.

A newly emerged video had fans in splits, as Djokovic turned into a meme, courtesy of his antics with the saxophone.

Opera much?

Twitter erupted as Novak’s humoristic side was on full display. In a hilarious video, the World No. 1 enjoyed some banter as he got trolled for his not-so-sensational music skills. When TV presenter, Barbara Schett-Eagle, praised Novak for how well he handles pressure, fans expected an insightful video on the play. However, what came following was hilarious enough to leave the World No. 1 in splits.

Responding to a video of him being trolled, he said, “You guys, you made me laugh. This is great. That’s awesome work from the tech-team of Eurosport. Fantastic.” 

On the business end of things, Novak has been equally the entertainer he is off-court. With one too many emphatic displays, he is continuing his successful run in the tournament.

However, in his recent outing, Kie Nishikori gave him a huge scare, toppling him in the first set. Regardless, in a sheer test of his character, Novak came back from behind and defeated the Japanese youngster.
