Novak Djokovic admitted during his speech on Centre Court for the centenary celebration that he felt “more nervous now than when I’m playing” while stood next to Roger Federer and a host of former Wimbledon champions.
“I want to say first that it’s an honour and privilege to be here with the legends of our sport and people that have paved the way for myself and many generations,” Djokovic said.
“I feel more nervous now than when I’m playing!
“This court has been truly special from my childhood and the first image of tennis I’ve seen when I was four or five-years-old I saw Pete Sampras wining his first Wimbledon.
“This is where dreams come true and I was blessed in 2011, probably the highlight of my career, to win the tournament and so when I step out on this court I relive these memories. Truly an honour.”
