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.
