Watch: Novak Djokovic busts some moves with young fans after they give him instructions about a TikTok dance during time in Dubai
Never shy to bust a move, Novak Djokovic was seen dancing with a few kids on court at the Rackets Academy in Dubai on Friday.
The World No. 1 is currently in Dubai where he is training ahead of the new season. He is due to begin his 2024 campaign at the United Cup in Perth, Australia, beginning December 31. He will be joined by Hamad Medjedovic in his team.
The Serb was seen shaking a leg during his time off. Surrounded by five youngsters, Djokovic was copying their TikTok dance moves and soaking in the fun. He was also captured doing the "dab" a couple of times.
Timur Gordeev, a 13-year-old rising tennis star from Russia, shared the clip of Djokovic busting those moves with him and his friends.
Gordeev commended Djokovic for his cool moves and thanked the "greatest athlete" for taking out time for them. Djokovic, who was referred to as the tennis Santa by Gordeev, didn't disappoint the children who were given an early Christmas present.
"He even dances cool! Bravo, Nole! @djokernole. This is how we spend the last day of the Elite players Winter Tennis Camp at @racketsacademy @atlantistheroyal with champ dancing and get ready to celebrate Christmas! Huge thanks to the greatest athlete Novak Djokovic for an amazing gift to all our players," Timur Gordeev wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
