Australian Open LIVE: Nadal return date ‘confirmed’ as star blasts Netflix | Tennis | Sport

Australian Open star Aryna Sabalenka was told that her “boyfriend won’t be happy” after she joked about Novak Djokovic’s bum during a charity match ahead of the Australian Open. Sabalenka teamed up with the 24-time Grand Slam champion for a mixed doubles showdown with Maria Sakkari and Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Rod Laver Arena.

With all four players mic’d up during the match, Djokovic began to jest with his team-mate as she prepared to face a serve from Sakkari. “I’m going to show you a couple of signals of what I’m going to do here and you say yes or no okay,” he said before he started to wiggle his little finger behind his back while standing at the net.

“Can people help me to understand what he’s showing,” Sabalenka asked the crowd. And as Djokovic crouched down at the net and shook his backside, the 25-year-old exclaimed: “Wow, what a beautiful view I have.”

The crowd burst into a fit of laughter as Djokovic turned around, apparently stunned by the hilarious comment. Sakkari shouted across the court to Sabalenka: “I’m sure your boyfriend won’t be happy with that.” And the current women’s champion responded: “I hope he’s not going to watch it.”
