Djokovic scares ball girl: Thought it was a joke

Novak Djokovic scared a ball girl by playing a prank on her during his second-round match against Stefanos Tsitsipas at Wimbledon. The Serbian tennis player went up to the ball girl and pretended to hit her, causing the young girl to flinch. The incident occurred during one of the exciting moments of the match and was also noticed by the spectators.

Djokovic's move was found both amusing and controversial in the tennis world. While some viewers found the joke funny, others thought it was inappropriate for a ball girl to be subjected to such behavior in a professional environment. However, Djokovic stated in a post-match interview that it was just a joke and he did not intend to hurt anyone.

The ball girl, although she experienced a brief shock after the incident, continued her duties. While Wimbledon officials did not make any official statement on the matter, it is known that Djokovic's such behaviors have come to the fore before. The Serbian tennis player is known for his jokes on the court from time to time.

Although this incident added a bit of fun, unlike the tense moments often seen in tennis matches, it also questioned the limits of professional athletes' behavior on the court. Djokovic advanced to the next round by winning the match, and this joke seems likely to be talked about for a long time.

As a result, although Djokovic's joke to the ball girl sparked a mild debate in the tennis world, it was mostly evaluated as an innocent joke. As a figure who has achieved many successes in his career, the Serbian tennis player will continue to be remembered with such moments as well.
