Wimbledon star Novak Djokovic had some doubles trouble when he came face to face with a waxwork of himself that looked more world chump than world champ.

Doubles Fault

Wimbledon star Novak Djokovic had some doubles trouble when he came face to face with a waxwork of himself that looked more world chump than world champ.

Critics say the model - unveiled at a waxworks museum in Jagodina in the star's Serbian homeland - is a good foot taller than the world number one and looks like it would be more at home in shop window.

A confused looking Djokovic launched the exhibit - crafted by local artist Svetomir Radovic - in front of 6,000 fans.

But one local critic said: "The best you can say about it at least it's wearing tennis kit."
