Novak Djokovic’s son Stefan stole the show at Wimbledon during his father’s clash with Yibing Wu on Centre Court. The 24-time Grand Slam challenge was finding it difficult against his Chinese opponent late in the third set.
The pair were tied at 1-1 4-4 when Djokovic became fed up of the partisan crowd chanting “Wuuuuuu”. Those in attendance clearly wanted a five-set thriller that was already going late into the night.
However Djokovic, as we have seen him do many times before at SW19, turned it up a notch when he felt the crowd were against him. He held serve to take a 5-4 lead and put his finger to his ear to react.
Meanwhile in his corner, 11-year-old son Stefan, up way past his usual bed time, celebrated wildly. He stated with a first bump before swinging his arm back and forth in sheer jubilation while screaming.
BBC commentator Andrew Cotter said: “[Chuckles] Stefan! Like father like son. Easy Stefan.
And John McEnroe added: “That is impressive energy. Carlos started that but a lot of guys are following in his footsteps.”
