Djokovic dropped by hilarious low blow in practice

Novak Djokovic hasn't enjoyed the best lead-up to his first round match at the Australian Open, hit in a rather soft spot while practicing.

The World No.2 was hitting up on Rod Laver Arena on Monday night when he decided to try and kick a ball returned to him rather than use his racquet.

His attempted kick missed and the ball hit him right where it hurts below the belt, dropping the Serb to the court.

He made his way to the chair for some much-needed ice but was able to recommence training soon afterwards.

One man who knows exactly how Djokovic felt is Martin Klizan, who copped a similarly painful blow from point blank range off the racquet of Stan Wawrinka:
