They don't call him "Djoker" for nothing.
The world's top-ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic took down No. 14 seed Roberto Bautista Agut in four sets in the French Open's Round of 16 on Wednesday – a victory that also enabled Djokovic to become the first professional player of all-time to reach $100 million in career earnings.
Unquestionably an impressive individual achievement for the 11-time Grand Slam champion, but his post-win celebration wasn't exactly solo.
As shown roughly halfway through this video posted by the Roland Garros Twitter account, Djokovic enlisted the help of a starstruck ballboy when interacting with the crowd following the match, and the results – after a teaching period of a few seconds – were golden:

Needless to say, it was a great day for both participants, as Djokovic showed the world how thanking fans is properly done.
Djokovic, who has lost in the championship match of the French Open in three of the past four years, will next take on No. 9 seed Tomas Berdych in Thursday's quarterfinals. The French Open remains the only Grand Slam which Djokovic hasn't won.
