Novak Djokovic: GQ's Ace of the Year and a new Hollywood star

Novak Djokovic is currently in Sofia, Bulgaria shooting his first Hollywood movie. 


According to the Bulgarian media, the Serbian tennis star was invited by Sylvester Stallone to feature in the film "The Expendables 2".


The film is a sequel to the 2010 box office hit and is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2012. 


Actors Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren are also said to be at the film set. 


It was reported that the security was tight and fans and media were not allowed to go any where close to the set, which was an abandoned warehouse near the Sofia airport.


In the movie website, Djokovic plays a 'fictional tennis player'.





Yesterday, Djokovic has been named GQ's 2011 Ace of the Year in their Men of the Year issue.

TENNIS WATCH: Davis Cup Final, Federer's 100th, dope accusation & corruption

Rafael Nadal may be tired after an uncharacteristic season.

However he is still motivated to lead Spain in its attempt to win a 5th Davis Cup title against Argentina.

This time Nadal will lead a Spain team on the clay surface at Olympic Stadium which includes David Ferrer and probable doubles partners Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco.

Argentina is seeking its first title in four attempts. Juan Martin del Potro and David Nalbandian could face Nadal and Ferrer in singles.

On Sunday, Roger Federer overpowered Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to win his 6th ATP finals title.

After a year that saw Federer , the Swiss star shrugged off a second-set letdown to beat Tsonga 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-3 for a record sixth title in the ATP World Tour Finals.

Playing in his 100th career final, Federer won 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 , sealing his 70th career title and took over the third place in the ATP rankings from Andy Murray.

It seems like Yannick Noah refused to back down from his accusations of doping in Spanish sports.

Nadal said Noah should be banned from commenting in the media.

Until he can produce any proof, I think Noah should keep his mouth shut.

Austrian tennis player Daniel Koellerer has appeared at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to challenge his lifetime ban for attempting to fix matches between October 2009 and July 2010.

Koellerer was the first tennis player banned for life for attempted corruption.

His ranking peaked at No. 55 in October 2009.

Rafael Nadal gets the 2011 Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award

Perhaps Rafael Nadal's losses in the past few months including the recent one at O2 Arena to Roger Federer proves that he is more human than any other professional tennis players this year.

Nevertheless I'm happy for Nadal who accepted the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award during the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals yesterday in London, England.
