Novak Djokovic is now two matches away from attaining a calendar Grand Slam following his quarterfinal win over Matteo Berrettini at US Open 2021 on Thursday. Despite losing the first set 5-7, the Serbian bounced back to win the next three sets 6-2,6-2,6-3 and make his way to the semi-final. While Djokovic has been dominating his opponent on the court at this US Open 2021, seeing him contribute even in the kitchen will surprise many.

Novak Djokovic wife, Jelena Djokovic, recently shared a video on her Twitter handle where World No 1 can be seen washing utensils at home. In the video, Novak Djokovic can be seen washing the frying pan and the saucepan while communicating with his wife, who seems to be the one filming the video.

Jelena Djokovic called Novak Djokovic as her MVP in the kitchen, and while replying to a Twitter user question, she said that it was an effort that counted more than the style. She added Don’t worry, we ladies have a good eye for details and can criticise big time. It just wasn't the time but definitely - shut the water while washing.

Totally agree with you on that 👍 as it was 1am, after 3h long match, it was an effort that counted more than the style. Don’t worry, we ladies have a good eye for details and can criticise big time. It just wasnt’t the time 🙏 but definitely - shut the water while washing 🙏👌
