The US Open has been thoroughly entertaining so far. Notably, headlining the action both on and off the court was the star of the tournament, Novak Djokovic. In a newly emerged video, the Serbian legend enjoys some off-the-field banter as he turns his talent into trolls.

Man on a mission, the Serb is enjoying his time in New York. From spectacular performances to off-court banter, he has been at the heart of entertainment.

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.

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.”
