Novak speaks Italian, German, and English.
Đoković often does humorous off-court impersonations of his fellow players, many of whom he is friends with.[6] This became evident to the tennis world after his 2007 US Open quarterfinal win over Carlos Moyà, where he entertained the audience with impersonations of Rafael Nadal and Maria Sharapova. He also made Boris Becker blush when, after a California tournament, Djokovic told the crowd, "You know, when my mother was giving me the milk, I was watching Boris winning the Wimbledon and now he is giving me the trophy."
