Djokovic uploaded a video on Instagram which shows him playing footvolley with his friends on a beach. The Serbian attempted to impersonate footvolley skills of Teqball world champion, Natalia Guitler, and Brazilian football legend, Ronaldinho by going for a header shot. However, he failed hilariously as the ball hit the net and he fell down. Seeing this, all his friends burst into laughter.

“This was an attempt to do something similar to what @nataliaguitler and @ronaldinho are doing but it obviously didn’t work.” Djokovic wrote in the caption with several laughing emojis.

Teqball star, Natalia immediately responded to Djokovic’s post and made a funny comment. “I bet that in 1 month you will become a footvolley professional too! 😂👊🏻🏆” commented Natalia Guitler.
