Serbian Tennis Star Takes a Swing at Cricket

Novak Djokovic, known for his incredible tennis skills, tried his hand at cricket during a charity event in Melbourne. However, the Serbian star struggled to connect with the cricket ball using a cricket bat.

A Brilliant Workaround

After his failed attempt at cricket, Djokovic cleverly switched to his trusty tennis racket. With his racket in hand, he managed to hit a powerful six into the crowd, much to the delight of the spectators.

Mixed Efforts in Other Sports

Djokovic, along with cricket legend Steve Smith, also tried their hand at other sports during the charity event. While Smith managed to return a Djokovic serve with ease, Djokovic got slapped for six when he attempted bowling.

Showing Off Basketball Skills

Despite his cricket struggles, Djokovic proved to be a natural on the basketball court. He showcased his skills with impressive shots, including a swish shot and a slam dunk, mimicking NBA icon LeBron James' celebration.

Entertaining the Crowd

The event also featured some fun tennis moments, with Djokovic wearing a microphone to entertain the crowd. He even managed to distract opponent Aryna Sabalenka with his tight shorts while giving her doubles tactics.

Facing the Australian Open

While Djokovic enjoyed his personal sports day Down Under, he knows that the real challenge awaits at the Australian Open. As the No.1 seed, he will begin his defense of the title against a qualifier, with the possibility of facing old friend Andy Murray in the later rounds.
