VIDEO: Tennis impersonator gives Novak Djokovic a taste of his own medicine

Jerry Lai / USA TODAY Sports

At the US Open way back in 2007, a young Novak Djokovic earned laughs - and, in some cases, ire - with some exaggerated and not entirely flattering impersonations of his peers.

Djokovic doesn't do the impersonations anymore - at least not publicly - but at the scene of the crime eight years later, he showed that he can take as good as he gives.

Famed tennis-player mimic Andres Carrasco, whose impressions Andy Murray once described as "soooooo good," hit the court with Djokovic on Thursday to offer up his versions of the world No. 1's mannerisms.

Carrasco's attention to detail is pretty extraordinary, and he nails all the little things, from Djokovic's annoyed tics before a point to his quick glance down at his racket after one.

Djokovic seemed duly impressed.
