Serbia icon and tennis sensation Novak Djokovic had a priceless reaction during the BBL clash between Stars and Renegades in the Melbourne derby. Glenn Maxwell produced a memorable 90 off 52 balls to steer the Stars to victory. But it was Djokovic's reaction to captain Marcus Stoinis' dismissal that stole the show in the first innings. Djokovic, who is in Melbourne these days hoping to extend his record 10 Australian Open triumphs, was present during the BBL clash on Sunday at the Marvel Stadium. On the third ball of the eighth over, Stoinis launched the ball high in the air while trying to clear the boundary rope. The timing was a bit off as the ball eventually landed in the hands of Kane Williamson at long-on.
