Novak Djokovic certainly has a way with words, which he showed us again recently.

After his first-round victory at the Australian Open, he told on-court interviewer Jim Courier that, because of his success over the past 12 months, he needs to "make more babies" with wife Jelena Ristic.

Before that, the world No. 1 described his hilarious, nothing-goes-right first date with Ristic—to whom he's been married since July of 2014—in a new series of advertisement for wine brand Jacob's Creek.

Problem 1: He took her to a sports bar. In Monte Carlo, mind you!

Problem 2: He sought to order her entree for her.

Problem 3: Two words: steak tartare.

With tennis currently taking place Down Under, Djokovic also shared the three items he'd toss on the "barbie" (that's barbecue for the unacquainted). Namely, those three things are ... his in-laws. Yep, Ristic's mother, father, and brother.

Wait, what?

Now that would make for a truly awkward family function.
