Johnny Mac is back. After Nojak Djokovic took down Radek Stepanek in straight sets (6-1, 6-3, 6-3) on Monday, he tried to take a shot at one of the greats. Djokovic embarked on a rather accurate and extremely amusing impression of John McEnroe, complete with a "You can't be serious!" yelled at an (empty) chair umpire.
McEnroe has had many contributions to the 2009 U.S. Open, but stepping onto the court with a tennis racket instead of a microphone tops the list. He played this point well, and it didn't look like Djokovic was taking it easy on him. McEnroe just caught him off guard and hit a perfect winner.
The No. 15 seed in the world gave him no trouble, but John McEnroe came down from the press box in his tennis shoes and khakis with the same old racket and showed Djokovic and the world that he still has the touch.
Video evidence after the jump.
UPDATE: The full video -- with Djokovic's antics and McEnroe's response -- can now be found below.

I watched the Djokovic v Stepanek game last evening. Am I the only one that noticed that Radek
Stepanek could barely play the game. He is ranked No 15. How can this be. Just a bad night for him.
Surely this was no contest for Djokovic. No wonder he was so relaxed. Yesterday I had watched both the Oudin/Petrova and Wazniaki/Kuznetsova games. These women would have beaten both Djokovic and Stepanek. The women played hard, exciting tennis. This game last nite, it was just boring. No excitement. Maybe Stepanek should retire. Seeing the way he played last nite, I am surprised he made it this far. I suppose he didn't have to play anyone tougher than he, until Djokovic.
