What do you think of him after seeing him doing that?

Some people think he is a jerk. I personally think he imitates them exactly well :P. I personally like the way he acted like Nadal lol. Brilliant.

Answer 1

If I could somehow grow a gigantic head with coarsly bristled hair and have a pair of effeminite groundstrokes, oh not to mention a 15 bounce routine before a toss, I would do a d**n good impression of Djokovic myself.

Answer 2

Yeah its a bit of fun :) Im personally not a big fan of Novak however i see nothing wrong with him doing these imitations lol I dont no why ppl call him a jerk for that we need a character like that on tour, its good he has a sense of humour!

Answer 3

I think it's funny as long as the person he's making fun of don't mind.  I think Nadal had a problem with it.  It was mentioned that there were talk in the locker rooms about it and some weren't too happy..  Maria didn't mind so I don't mind.  Now I'm not fans of some of the people he made fun of but out of respect for their feelings (if they hurt by it) then I feel like he should restrain.  He obviously got the message that it bothered some and so he stop.  Good for him.

Answer 4

Haha I think he is really funny when he does that.  So many people have a problem with his imitations but there is nothing wrong with having a bit of fun :)

Answer 5

Athletes are performers, and the audience needs to see their personalities.  With that said, I think it's cool that he expresses himself with such humor.  As long as he's respectful on the court during a match, I don't have problems with his antics.

Answer 6

It's really funny the ones of players.

If the people he imitate don't mind then why should other people. I know Nadal doesn't mind. Djokovic's just trying to get a laugh out of them and it's not meant to hurt their feelings. I don't think it's right for people to call him a jerk since several other players have done imitations of other people. Like Andy Roddick perhaps.

Answer 7

I love it when he does them but ive always wondered what other players think of it. Esp the ones being imitated. But hes always joking around so maybe theyve gotten used to it.

Answer 8

Yes, they were a blast! I thought we will finally have a No.1 who is entertaining, hilarious and pretty dog-gone good in one package. But he has stated he is done with those. Mostly due to other players not receiving the imitations well and seeing it as a sign of disrespect.  He says he stopped because he wants to focus on becoming No.1 but I think the former is the main reason. I like the Sharapova, Hewitt, Roddick and Nadal impersonations the best, in that order. Alas, we need to be satisfied with brilliant tennis and candid interviews for now :).

Answer 9

He has a funny personality and likes to make jokes. I think he has a lot of enthusiasm and charisma. People should let him act as he wants to.
