Seeing double: Djokovic cheers lookalike Olympic winner
French gold medallist bears a striking resemblance to the former world No 1 tennis player
Tennis ace Novak Djokovic has invited French lookalike Winter Olympic champion Pierre Vaultier for a get-together after the snowboard gold medallist noted the resemblance between the two men.
Vaultier told French TV he was a fan of Djokovic and had always wanted to meet the Serbian former world number one.
Djokovic responded swiftly on Twitter with an invitation to the French Open at Roland Garros.
“@pierre_vaultier let’s make it happen. See you at RG (Roland Garros)! And congratulations on your Olympic medal(s)!”
Vaultier said the likeness between himself and the tall, dark Djokovic had been raised in the past and added: “When I am watching him play, his expressions and his intonation, I feel like I am watching myself.”
