Novak Djokovic presents award at MTV Europe Music Awards in Milan

World number one tennis star Novak Djokovic put his day job to one side on Sunday to present an award at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Milan.

The 10-time Grand Slam champion spoke in fluent Italian when he announced the nominees for best hip hop artist while on stage.

The award was given to Trinidadian-born American rapper Nicki Minaj, but she was not in attendance on the night and instead her acceptance speech was broadcast via video message.

Djokovic is currently on a two-week break, but will return to action at the Paris Masters next week.
