Djokovic appears on The Late Late Show with James Corden

On Tuesday night, Novak Djokovic was a guest on The Late Late Show with James Corden in Los Angeles. The 12-time Grand Slam champion played a game of target practice, naturally, with Corden dressed up as a ball with a water bottle on his head.

“I have a  big target,” Djokovic joked.

Djokovic was joined by Rainn Wilson (from The Office) and comedian Jack Whitehall. The skit was a bit of a cop-out as they were using soft red balls and Corden tried to soften the blow even more.

“Because of your injury, we’re going to have you serve with your left hand,” Corden said.

Losing patience, it took Djokovic just two tries with his right to accomplish the task.

Corden would also ask the 30-year-old about that nagging elbow injury that has kept him off the tour since Wimbledon.

"I haven't actually played an official tournament for the last three-and-a-half months," Djokovic said. "But I"m looking forward to start the new season fresh."

Soon after, Whitehall performs an Andy Murray impression, which is fitting as the Scot also cut his 2017 short with an injury.

Both Murray and Djokovic are expected to be back on tour in January.
