While Novak Djokovic is one of the best players on the ATP Tour, he also has a funny side to him. Over the years, the Serbian earned the nickname ‘Djoker’ for the several hilarious moments he gave to fans.

In recent years, social media changed the way athletes interact with players, with a more personal feel now prominent. Ahead of his opening match at the US Open, the World No. 1 posted a story on Instagram where he attempted playing the saxophone.
