Novak Djokovic had a rather uncharacteristic start to his Wimbledon campaign. After winning the first set against Pedro Cachin, the match was interrupted by the rain. Wimbledon Centre Court has a roof that, in theory, would help in this kind of situation. However, something incredible happened. After the roof was closed and the covers removed, the court was still so slippery that the match could not be resumed until they had to open the roof.
Fortunately, Novak Djokovic was in a good mood, and he was having some fun pretending to help drain the court. The crowd appreciated that.
Here is the incredible video.
