When you are Novak Djokovic, you want to get things done perfectly. Such is the aura of the 24-time Grand Slam champion that he had an unexpected incident despite leading in his Wimbledon quarterfinal match against Flavio Cobolli. The Serb lost the opening set but came back strongly to win the next two sets to take a 2-1 lead. Subsequently, both players were involved in a cat-and-mouse race in the fourth set, during which tempers flared up. As a result, Djokovic did something unusual, which caught the eyes of the tennis world.
Djokovic was seen smashing his racket against his legs as things didn’t go his way in the fourth set. He made some silly errors and found it tough to sustain the momentum. Thus, he smacked his racket against his legs not once but twice, as memories of his Wimbledon fine cropped up. Back in 2023, Djokovic was fined $8000 for smashing his racket against the net during his defeat to Carlos Alcaraz.
