Novak Djokovic overcame Andrey Rublev on Tuesday, July 11 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 to reach his 12th semifinal at the All England Club. In a replay of the quarterfinal from the previous year, the 23-time Grand Slam champion will face Jannik Sinner on Friday.
On Thursday, Novak Djokovic’s wife, Jelena, posted a video to social media showing the four-time defending champion making jokes into a microphone while traveling with his coaching team to Wimbledon. This happened every day, according to a member of the coaching staff for the Serbs. Djokovic responded that he wouldn’t be so at ease if he was competing that day when asked if he was.
Djokovic said: “Obviously not, I wouldn’t be this relaxed.”
Jelena replied: “Relaxed much?.”
