Novak Djokovic was put to the ultimate test, however, this time the Serb was not playing tennis but cricket, as the tennis superstar bat against none other than the Aussie great Shane Warne.
The Australian legend Shane Warne got together with the 12 time Grand Slam Champion for a cricket lesson ahead of the Australian Open.
The incident which took place during the charity event A Night with Novak on the eve of the Australian Open, proved a sports spectacle.
The six-time Australian Open champion wasn't afraid to face the Australian spin legend at the Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne. With a cricket bat in hand, which was a treat for the eyes, Djokovic received some important tips from Austrlian hard-hitting batsman Aaron Finch, as he prepared to face Warne.
Facing first ball the Serb was beaten in quite dramatic fashion, by the flight and speed of Warne's leg-break delivery, as the ball clipped the wicket - much to the laughter of the Australian crowd.
However, the unfazed tennis champion jokingly requested Warne to bowl quicker. Warnie obliged and Djokovic was able to slap the ball into the crowd and ran along the court.
For the final bowl, Djokovic picked up his tennis racquet - and hit Warne for a huge SIX!
