Novak Djokovic Advances in Wimbledon: A Close Call
Novak Djokovic successfully navigated the first round of Wimbledon, dodging an upset that has claimed many seeded players since the beginning of this prestigious Grand Slam tournament in London. The seven-time Wimbledon champion is on a quest for his 25th Grand Slam title and began his campaign against Alexandre Muller, currently ranked 41st in the world. Djokovic emerged victorious after a hard-fought four-set match with scores of 6–1, 6–7(7), 6–2, 6–2, spanning over three hours and twenty-one minutes.
A Physical Challenge Mid-Match
Despite grabbing an early lead, Djokovic encountered physical difficulties at the start of the third set, following a setback in the second set which he lost in a tiebreak. This moment of adversity prompted him to call for a medical timeout, allowing him to regain his composure and strength. During his on-court interview after the match, he candidly discussed this challenging phase, revealing that he had been given “miracle pills” by his doctor to help him continue the fight.

“I’m thrilled to be back. This court is sacred to me, and I say it every year. As a child, I dreamed of playing on this court. In approximately 45 minutes, I went from peak performance to feeling utterly awful. I’m not sure if it was a stomach bug, but my energy returned after taking those miracle pills from the doctor, allowing me to finish on a high note. Quitting was never an option I considered,” Djokovic shared, reflecting on his determination as he strives for an eighth Wimbledon title and a historic 25th Grand Slam overall.
