Due to a poorly managed rain delay, Novak Djokovic, the second seed and seven-time Wimbledon winner, had to wait almost an hour and a half for the grass on Centre Court to become sufficiently dry.
Djokovic began another Wimbledon title run with a strong performance as he overcame Pedro Cachin 6-3, 6-3, 7-6 (4) to go to the second round. This was his first match of the grass court season, and there were many things that could have distracted him.
After the match, Novak had a lovely on-court interview to say: “Each year I come back and relive those memories, connect with that young boy that was dreaming in Serbia to win the biggest and most important tennis tournament in the world. I try not to take any match, any minute here on the court for granted. I’m definitely blessed. It’s wonderful to be here.”
