The Serbian, 37, was handily beaten 6-2 6-2 7-6 by Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon men’s singles final.
After picking up his runners-up plate, he stopped to chat with the BBC’s Croft on court.
The former world No24 began: “Novak I know this is not the result you wanted, you were up against such a hot, talented opponent in Carlos Alcaraz…”
At this point, the crowd burst out laughing at Croft, 58, calling the Spaniard “hot”.
She saw the funny side and began chortling herself, as did Djokovic.
The broadcast then cut to Alcaraz, who beamed as he clutched his trophy tight to his chest.
Through laughter, Croft clarified “he was on fire!”, with Djokovic playfully replying: “That’s what I was about to say, he was very hot today.”
This prompted more cackles from the 15,000 fans packed into Centre Court.

“I’ll watch with my team for, sure, I don’t know where but I will be watching.
“It will be a really difficult match, I’ll watch and let’s see who wins the Euros.”
Croft also made Alcaraz squirm by bringing up the Wimbledon champions’ dinner.
Although often not adhered to in recent years, it is traditional for the men’s and women’s singles champions to share a dance at the dinner.
Quizzed over his dancing skills by Croft Alcaraz squirmed before sheepishly saying they “could be better”.
