Novak Djokovic Gives Perfect Response as His Wimbledon Match Halts for Surprise Proposal
Djokovic briefly stopped play and asked the crowd to refocus after a spectator proposed to his girlfriend during the second set.
On Monday, Novak Djokovic's Wimbledon opening match against Yibing was briefly halted on Centre Court when a spectator proposed to his girlfriend in the stands.
In high spirits after winning the first set 6-4, Djokovic noticed the cheering crowd and jokingly asked the newly engaged pair for an invitation to their wedding.
Commentators John McEnroe and Andrew Cotter initially missed the proposal, though McEnroe later remarked it was a "high-risk strategy" to propose on Centre Court during a Grand Slam match.
The couple happily accepted the proposal and celebrated with a kiss while Djokovic offered a thumbs-up gesture and a heart sign before play resumed.
Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny watched from the player's box, two days after Djokovic joined him on stage during his concert in London.
