Except for being a great tennis player, Novak Djokovic is also a big showman what he showed at the 2016 Miami Open when he caught the ball straight into his pocket.
After the 2020 Miami Open was cancelled we have no other option than to look back on previous years. Miami Open is one of the best ATP 1000 tournaments on the circuit and all of the top players, including Novak Djokovic, play there.
In 2016, Djokovic managed to win his 6th, and last, for now, title in Miami. It was also the 3rd title in a row when he triumphed also in 2014 and 2015. But that year was special also thanks to another occasion that Novak was part of.
In the 2nd round, Djokovic faced Kyle Edmund who defeated Jiri Vesely in the first round. The Serbian had no problem defeating his opponent when he advanced after 6-3, 6-3 victory. But the special moment happened in the third game of the first set. Djokovic was leading 2-0, 30-0 and serving. He missed the first service and Edmund hit the ball by the frame of the racquet. It went up flew up in the air and was about to bounce somewhere in the middle of Djokovic's part of the court. But world number 1 ran to the ball to catch it right in his pocket. You can see if he succeed and how the crowd reacted in the video below.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA.
