Recently, comedian Elliot Loney uploaded a hilarious IGTV video titled ‘Tennis greats congratulate Novak Djokovic on his 20th Grand Slam title’. In the episode, Loney mimics the reaction of top tennis players after Djokovic’s historic 20th Grand Slam win at the Wimbledon Championships and also imitates the Serbian tennis star.

Taking a swing at some of the biggest names in tennis, Loney starts the episode by impersonating Djokovic. The fake Djokovic goes on a self-praising streak and states himself as the ‘greatest of all time’.

Next up in the sketch came Rafael Nadal. Dressed perfectly in a bright pink sleeveless t-shirt and a headband, Loney did an amusing impression of Nadal’s Spanish accent, calling Djokovic “the third best person player behind myself and Roger, of course”.

Imitating Dominic Thiem next, Loney throws the viewers into fits of laughter as he completely nails the Austrian’s voice. Then playing the brash, hot-headed Australian, Nick Kyrgios, Loney dons a sideways cap and basketball jersey as he begins poking fun at Djokovic.

The Australian comedian also mimicked Bernard Tomic, Jim Courier, and Roger Federer waving at the crowd’s applause instead of expressing his thoughts on Djokovic’s record-equaling 20th Grand Slam win.

However, Loney reserved his funniest bit for the last as he imitated Djokovic’s trademark gesture of pushing both arms outside from his chest – to all four sides of the stadium.
