Novak Djokovic’s Wimbledon title bid got off to the perfect start as he easily dispatched his Argentinian opponent Pedro Cachin 6–3, 6-3, 7-6. On a rain-interrupted day, Djokovic was involved in some comedic scenes as he tried to help the ball kids dry up the court after a brief shower — but towards the end of the match, he was involved in an interaction that was heartwarming.
After completing his on-court interview and signing tennis balls and memorabilia for the fans in the stands, a video captured Djokovic taking time out to sign a cap for a young girl in a wheelchair.
The video was shared on Twitter and has received nearly 80,000 views at the time of writing, depicting Djokovic’s good nature and kind-heartedness that he has come to be associated with in his career.
Although he can at times be controversial, Djokovic is widely recognized as one of the kindest and best-natured players on tour, always setting out time for younger players and fans during important tournaments.
The number two-ranked Serb had a positive start to his tournament, serving well and looking solid as he overcame his opponent despite the rain delays. Although he was pushed to a third-set tiebreak, Djokovic kept his near-immaculate record in tiebreaks at grand slams in 2023 intact. He is now 17-1 in grand slam tiebreaks, a stat which will be put under pressure on a surface which sees more of them played than any other.
Djokovic will now prepare to face Australian Jordan Thompson in the second round.
