During Novak Djokovic's late-night tussle with Feliciano Lopez on Tuesday, the World No. 1 got a little miffed when things weren’t going his way. It wasn’t the first time he’s done that at the US Open, in fact, Djokovic seems to be yelling at his box more than usual these days. Maybe it’s the presence of Boris Becker in his box that inspires him?

Anyhow, after Novak had a seething moment at his chair, ESPN commentator John McEnroe tried to get his wife Jelena to translate what he was saying to his box. For those not in the know, McEnroe could tell she was listening to him because she has been wearing the headset that plays the ESPN audio for fans during the matches.

Below you will see, courtesy of the Cauldron, Jelena’s amusing response to McEnroe's query. She really is pretty charming, isn’t she? At the top of the page is a tweet from Jelena’s interaction with McEnroe during Djokovic’s Sunday-night encounter with Roberto Bautista Agut. She made Johnny Mac feel good by blowing a few kisses his way when he said hello to her.
