Novak Djokovic - The Tonight Show 12-03-2008

World No. 3 Novak Djokovic stopped by The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Wednesday March 12, 2008. in Los Angeles, to catch up with the late night talk show host on the eve of the Pacific Life Open, the year's first ATP Masters Series event.

"Can I get more applause? I'm a bit nervous," said the 20-year-old Djokovic as he walked out to greet Leno and the audience.

The affable Serb, known as much for his spot-on impersonations of other players as for his success on the courts, bantered with Leno on a range of topics, including the benefits of becoming a Grand Slam champion.

"The first thing that comes up to my mind is the girls are looking better now," he joked. "I get first class, better meals probably, so it’s a healthier life."

Djokovic also spoke of the surprising success of Serbian tennis stars, among them top Pacific Life Open women’s seed Ana Ivanovic and No. 3 seed Jelena Jankovic.

"Everybody is so confused and surprised how did we do it from such a small country," he said. "Since we have a lot of difficulties in the country the past twenty years, probably because of the radiation we are doing good now."

"Playing with three arms!" Leno quipped in response.
