That’s all from me tonight. Thank you for reading. We will be back for more tomorrow. Good night.
Djokovic is asked about the significance of Centre Court on its 100th anniversary: “It has a special place in my life, in my heart, and in my career. I’ve watched the first tennis match ever on the television when I was four, five years old, in Serbia, Pete Sampras won his first, I think it was ‘92, his first Wimbledon title here. That inspired me a lot, that made me fall in love with this beautiful sport ... since then I always dreamed of playing on this court, of winning Wimbledon, and now I’ve had that blessing and privilege to win it more than once. Every time I step out on the court you can feel the uniqueness, just special, everything is special about the court. All white, no advertisement, everything is focused on players and tennis ... and, er ... just thank you. Thank you for being here, and making it even nicer.”
The crowd gives him big, big ovation. Djokovic has won a game of tennis, and also won quite a few people over, it would appear.
