At least Novak Djokovic could laugh about it immediately afterward. Yes, he took what he called a ‘nasty’ and ‘awkward’ fall on his second match point on Wednesday. Yes, he slid into the splits and ended up face-down on Centre Court. And, yes, those sort of things aren’t ideal for a 38-year-old.
Still, Djokovic dusted himself off and took the next two points, to reach the semis. “Obviously, [my] body is not the same today like it was before. So, I guess the real impact or effect of what happened, I will feel tomorrow. So let’s see. I’m hoping in the next 24, 48 hours, that the severity of … what happened is not too bad, that I’ll be able to play at my best and free of pain in two days,” a smiling Djokovic said at the news conference.
