Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal: Top Seed Goes Top on Today Show
Famous for his imitation of the major tennis stars, comedian Elliot Loney took a ‘swing’ at some of tennis’ biggest names in a program of the Show today. Perfectly dressed in bright pink, a headband and all, Loney’s spot began with his catch on Rafael Nadal ordering “more new touches” from his hotel room 6-0-6- 0. Next up in the sketch was Novak Djokovic’s “list of requests” which included a “line woman to hit balls at” and a “karaoke machine” – some the biggest controversies of the Serb last year.
Speaking to guests Karl Stefanovic and Leila McKinnon, Loney was shot by Aussie bad boy Bernard Tomic. When asked about his decision to pull out of an event just hours after he posted a video of himself playing basketball, Loney – armed with the usual Tomic-esque disdain – replied that he would be a millionaire and would “explain the reasons” but would have “dropped out of high school in year 5”. The response lies in Tomic’s self-deprecating response to reporters at the 2018 Australian Open that he ‘just counts his millions’.

Next as the controversial Nick Kyrgios (with his cap back and blowing), Loney identified himself as having a bit of fun, saying he was “Elliot Phoney” because he makes a living. imitating others. ” The comic also took on the big Jim Courier, referring to the much-talked-about Aussie about jumping into the Yarra River twice after winning the Australian Open.
Last in the line was Rafael Nadal (full of his habits and tics) who gave Djokovic a terrible blow saying “even Novak Djokovic caught the virus but most of the players were socially infected even before he got the virus ”. Today’s show Alex Cullen also accepted the challenge saying – like Rafa – that he was glad Roger Federer was not there. Meanwhile, things are heating up in the Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal fandoms as Grand Slams Novak Djokovic went up to 18 after the Australian Open this Sunday.
