I have never seen Novak Djokovic do these dances, it must be for his kids.
He's enjoying himself, he's got a cheeky smile on his face.
He's just doing this weird dance out there.

However, an angled cross-court backhand winner from Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard followed by an ugly netted forehand on the approach from Djokovic levels the game at 30-all.
Belatedly, he brings up match point, with the Frenchman only able to net his backhand after being dragged wide on the baseline.

What on earth was that last drop shot Novak Djokovic just did?
He didn't even move his feet on it, it was a very lackadaisical drop shot and it never even looked like it was never going to go in.
I think he lost his focus then, it was a poor game, he's going to be fuming about that.
