Olympic video highlight: Sharapova's trick shot fells Djokovic

Tennis tomfoolery between women's world number three Maria Sharapova and men's number two Novak Djokovic is the subject of YouTube's most-watched sports video of the day on August 1, accumulating close to 1 million views after 48 hours online.

Both players had been enjoying some good matches at the London 2012 Olympics, finding time off-court to try out a trick shot or two, knocking water bottles off each other's heads, but not without some sacrifice on Djokovic's part as the clip "Sharapova hit balls Djokovic" demonstrates: youtu.be/dJk-vp4cxoo

At the 2012 Wimbledon Championships in June, Djokovic conspired with sports brand HEAD for a courtside prank, pulling a golf club instead of a tennis raquet from his bag. The company counts both Djokovic and Sharapova among its sponsored athletes.
