Boodles Provides Important Quotes:

Novak Djokovic:

“Everything is going according to plan and hopefully I can get in the best possible shape for the start of Wimbledon. I know what I need to do in order to adjust from the slowest to the fastest service in a very short period of time.

There’s no bigger motivation than playing in the most prestigious tournament in the world in our sport, the one that I always dreamed of winning. I won it two years ago and it’s definitely been the highlight of my career. I love playing at Wimbledon

Grass is the most special surface we have in the sport; the oldest also. We play on it only a few weeks a year so we better use it wisely. I like playing on it and it makes me aggressive on the court. Hopefully I can raise the level of my game as the tournament goes on.”

Grigor Dimitrov:

“It’s a great feeling to play against him. I mean, especially today. I hope we had an entertaining match but at the same time a very positive match.

Friday’s Order of Play is TBC

Photo information:

Novak Djokovic changed shirt to the delight of the spectators. He then encouraged Grigor Dimitrov to do the same, however Dimitrov was unable to as he had not taken a spare shirt on court with him. After dispatching his coach to get a clean shirt Dimitrov obliged, removing his shirt to a huge ovation from the crowd.

Novak Djokovic made dreams come true for the children in the crowd. Directly after the match he took them to a practice court and rallied with each of them.

Djokovic and Dimitrov enjoyed a light-hearted match at The Boodles, even trading Maria Sharapova impressions after the final point. Novak told the crowd “I haven’t done my Maria impression for a while now, but I think Grigor is probably better at it than me now!”
