A video of former world number one Novak Djokovic meditating with his legs spread across the net has attracted millions of views on social media, even though it appears to have been edited.
On social media for nearly a day, a 9-second video appeared on many of the world's leading tennis websites. There, Djokovic sat on the tennis court net, his legs spread out to the sides and forming a straight line. The person filming the video appeared to climb up a wall, then zoomed in for a close-up. Just as Djokovic opened his eyes, the video suddenly stopped.
ChannelESPNwrote the comment: "Djokovic, nothing more to say". And tennis expert Jose Moron commented: "Only Djokovic can do it. Can anyone explain why?"
These images attracted millions of views, many of whom admired the talent of the record-holder for winning the Grand Slam in men's singles. During matches, he often showed off his ability to spread his legs at an angle of more than 90 to nearly 180 degrees to save the ball.
The Serbian also met many gymnasts, and imitated difficult horizontal and vertical leg movements. ChannelEurosportDjokovic could also be a great gymnast if he pursued this sport.
However, Spanish newspapersThe VanguardiaThe video is believed to have been edited using visual effects by Ari Fararooy, who has worked with high-profile players such as Tom Brady in American football and Stephen Curry in basketball to create realistic videos.
It's illogical for Djokovic to be sitting at the net in that position, but his ability to spread his legs horizontally on the ground could still be true. The video could be edited to make it look like Djokovic is sitting at the net.
Sports stars can use edited videos to create buzz or promote their products. David Beckham once kicked a ball on the beach and it landed in a barrel dozens of meters away. Ronaldinho once hit the crossbar four times in a row without letting the ball drop.
