Djokovic Slip on Match Point Raises Injury Concern at Wimbledon

Novak Djokovic suffered a slip and heavy fall while serving on match point in his Wimbledon quarter-final against Italy’s Flavio Cobolli on 9 July. The 37-year-old lay face-down on Centre Court turf for several seconds, prompting gasps from spectators and concern from officials. Djokovic rose, delivered a strong serve to clinch the match and reach his 14th Wimbledon semi-final. He told reporters the incident occurred “at an awkward moment” and said he would consult his physiotherapist, adding he hopes to be fully fit within two days. The seven-time Wimbledon champion is scheduled to meet world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals. Any lingering discomfort from Wednesday’s fall could influence Djokovic’s bid for a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title.
