Brad
Gilbert had a social media mishap with a message to
Novak Djokovic during the
US Open, where he accidentally tagged an adult film star.
The 23-time
Grand Slam champion achieved an incredible victory over Taylor Fritz in the US
Open quarterfinals, winning 6-1, 6-4, 6-4, and advanced to his 47th Grand Slam
semifinal, surpassing Roger Federer's record of 46. Djokovic dominated Fritz
and will seek a new US Open final against Shelton.
During his
on-court interview after the match, Djokovic took the microphone and
spontaneously sang the Beastie Boys' song "Fight For Your Right." The
crowd went wild with joy, and Djokovic invited everyone to join in the chorus.
The
surprise performance not only showcased the charisma of the 23-time Grand Slam
champion but also brought him closer to his fans. The energy in the stadium was
palpable as Djokovic delivered his epic performance.
This unique
moment became a hot topic on social media, where fans shared videos and
comments about the unexpected performance. Djokovic, known for his dedication
on the court, demonstrated that he also knows how to have fun and connect with
the crowd.
Amid the
excitement on social media, former Andre Agassi coach
Brad Gilbert made a minor
error when tagging Djokovic in a message praising the performance. The mistake
led to a humorous response from Gilbert and a slight social media mishap.
"You
got to fight for your right to party @DjokerNole @1mastereagle epic
stuff," he posted
“Brad

After fans
pointed out his mistake to Gilbert, the tennis coach and commentator deleted
the post and declared a self-imposed one-day suspension from social media
"I
will give myself a straight red card and 24 hr suspension for honest mistake on
wrong tag," he posted.
