Nadal, Sharapova, McEnroe: when Djokovic imitated tennis legends at the US Open!
Novak Djokovic is a tennis legend and is considered by many observers as the greatest player of all time, ahead of his two rivals in the Big 3, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
The Serbian has undeniably left his mark on the history of the sport, with 100 titles won on the ATP circuit, including 24 Grand Slam titles, 40 in Masters 1000, and 7 in the ATP Finals.
Djokovic has built an exceptional record and is respected by his peers due to his sporting performances. But while the now 38-year-old player is known for his unparalleled resilience on the court, he also has a talent for imitation, which he showcased early in his career.
In 2007, on the Arthur Ashe Court after his quarter-final victory against Carlos Moya, he imitated his rival Rafael Nadal as well as his friend Maria Sharapova. Two years later, in 2009, after winning another match in the tournament, he challenged John McEnroe and invited him to come on the court to face him.
It was on this occasion that he then imitated the American legend. These sequences became cult classics in New York, leaving the spectators in stitches and are available to watch below.
