Novak Djokovic lit up Centre Court in a riveting late-night match at Wimbledon, staging a comeback that saw him overcome discomfort with a little help from doctors' miracle pills! 🎾
The Serbian veteran, aiming for a record 25th Grand Slam title, started strong by taking the first set 6-1 against France's World No. 41 Alexandre Muller. Despite a challenging 9-7 tiebreaker in the second set that leveled the match, Djokovic rediscovered his form in the third and fourth sets, securing decisive 6-2 wins.
In his own words, "I enjoyed myself, obviously a bit less in the second set, but I went from feeling my absolute best for a set-and-a-half to my absolute worst for about 45 minutes. Whether it was a stomach bug, I don't know what it is. I struggled with that, but the energy came back after some doctors' miracle pills, and I managed to finish the match on a good note."
Adding to the drama of the night, Zverev bowed out of the tournament, further intensifying the excitement at Wimbledon.
This match is a reminder that resilience, a quick boost when needed, and relentless spirit can turn the tide—even on the biggest stages!
