THE latest funny video from Novak Djokovic, whose imitations of Rafael Nadal and Maria Sharapova helped make him a YouTube sensation, is only poking fun at himself.
Djokovic's latest laugh came when he sang "Call Me Maybe" with US Olympic swim star Missy Franklin on five minutes' notice during a pre-tournament event for children at Arthur Ashe Stadium. He drew a standing ovation but even Djokovic admits that he will stick to tennis over singing. "I enjoyed it. I tried even though my singing and dancing isn't that great," the Serbian said. "It was exceptional fun. It was quite interesting. I haven't done much of that in my career."
The worst part for Djokovic is that, try as he might, he can't get the rhythm out of his head as he tries to focus on defending his US Open title.
"I can't get the song out of my head. It's a very catchy song," Djokovic said. "Here's my number, so call me maybe."
In younger days, Djokovic's antics brought wild applause from crowds but less flattering remarks from those being mocked. "I don't regret anything," Djokovic said. "I've done things in life that might be considered as mistakes, depending from what angle you're analyzing those actions."
