NOVAK DJOKOVIC celebrated the end of his charity tournament in Serbia with a wild night out at a cabaret club in Belgrade.

The World No 1, who staged the exhibition at his own complex while international tennis remains suspended, was joined by a host of other court stars.

The 17-time Grand Slam champion visited the Lafayette Cuisine Cabaret Club alongside Dominic Thiem, Alexander Zverev, and Grigor Dimitrov.

And Djokovic seemed to relish the chance to flaunt his fancy footwork on the dance floor as he did the limbo and the popular Macarena dance.

The 33-year-old later showcased his singing skills as he replaced a racquet for a microphone during a duet with a piano man.

Djokovic also joined friends Thiem, Zverev, and Dimitrov in going topless as the tennis stars jumped wildly up and down on stage.

Ahead of the night out on Friday, the five-time Wimbledon winner had posted a picture of himself with his arms around his on-court rivals.

He wrote: "Quite grateful to welcome my friends to my city. Feels good to have an opportunity to show them where I come from, the beauty of this place and our people :-)

"By the smiles on their faces at the end of our players’ dinner, I guess it was “not too bad” right?"

Just two days later Djokovic beat Germany's Zverev on Sunday in his last round-robin match but he missed out on a place in the final.

Thiem ultimately beat Serbian Filip Krajinovic 4-3 2-4 4-2 in front of a capacity crowd of 4,000 on the first leg of the Adria Tour.

Djokovic had faced flak for the lack of social distancing at his event where players hugged each other after matches and spectators sat in the stands without masks.

But he said it was not up to him to "make the calls" about "what is right or wrong health-wise" after the Serbian government eased lockdown restrictions last month.
