Seventeen-time Grand Slam holder Novak Djokovic creates a whimsical moment every once in a while. The Serbian machine likes to have some fun during matches. He’s also earned the tag ‘Djoker’ over the years, due to his antics, and it’s nice to see a player who can handle the seriousness in a match along with a light moment.

Not long ago, a video of the Serbian ace surfaced in which he got a kiss on the cheek by a girl sitting in the stands. It begins with World No. 1 player handing his used, sweaty t-shirt to one of the spectators.

This incident took place in 2015 during an exhibition event in London. At that time, Novak had decided not to play a warm-up tournament ahead of Wimbledon. He later went on to win Wimbledon.
