Getting lost in the excitement of the weekend and have maybe forgotten that it’s a Sunday? Well, you’re not the only one with this dilemma. Take a look at some funny moments of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and co showing that they, too, get caught in the excitement.

It’s always a joy to watch our favourite heroes show incredible feats of brilliance, but sometimes they mess up in some of the funniest ways possible.

At just 25 seconds into the video, Nadal shows a bit of a slow reaction to the score. The Spaniard won the match over Miomir Kecmanovic, with three games to two. However, it seems like our beloved hero forgot what the score was and, as such, gave us this blooper.

“He doesn’t know the score.” Said the commentator just moments before breaking out into laughter.

Another commentator jokingly said, “Well, he might have a good tennis IQ Barry, but I’m not sure about anything else.” We can undoubtedly side with the commentators on this one; it is a funny moment to see Nadal mess up and acknowledge his error as he walks off smiling.

The Mighty Federer comes in at 00:52 with his own forgetful moment. Federer faced Kei Nishikori at the Gerry Weber Open, where the match ended 6-3, 7-6(4). The tennis legend was in complete awe after delivering such a great shot to win the match that he forgot that the match was over. Federer finally realized his error and raised his hands as an apology to the roaring crowd as he made his way over to thank his competitor.

Coming in at 01:45 into the video is Novak Djokovic. Djokovic hadn’t played a match in over several months, and that was definitely noticeable in the clip. The Serbinator took on Vasek Pospisil in the Tel Aviv tournament last year and showed the crowd that he’s still got the skill but only some of the rules.

Djokovic won the game with a final score of 7-6, 6(5)-3. However, the Serbian was still dusting out the cobwebs from his time away and lost count of the score, making him have a funny altercation with his ball boys.

“I think the level of tennis was really high. Especially towards the end of the first set and the second set. Credit to him for fighting. Great to see him back.” Said Pospisil after losing the match to Djokovic.
