Novak Djokovic dominated Stefanos Tsitsipas so convincingly in the second round of Wimbledon 2026 that he even took the luxury of playing a prank on a ball girl during the match. The Serbian was leading by two sets, feeling unbeatable, and while the Greek was in the locker room, Djokovic seized the opportunity to pull off one of his tricks.

Djokovic explained his amusing moment with a Wimbledon ball girl

Djokovic requested the ball girl to carefully trim a small part of the bandage that was left over on his right shoulder. She did it with great care and precision, but Djokovic pretended she had hurt him and made a pained expression, while the girl looked extremely concerned. However, Djokovic didn't want to make her suffer any longer and quickly laughed, telling her it was just a joke, causing laughter among those witnessing the scene.

In fact, this moment did not go unnoticed by the interviewer at court-side, who, after the victory, asked Djokovic about the incident: "I guess this kind of stuff comes out when you're winning by 2 sets to 0 instead of losing by 2 sets to 0. Stefanos went to change, so I had some free time. I'm sorry. I don't know if she's around here. I'm sorry if I scared her. Probably wasn't a great joke, I guess. It made me feel a bit more relaxed. She was laughing, so it was a good moment for her too," said the 23-time Grand Slam champion amid laughter.

This on-court scene during a Grand Slam reflects the composure and skill of the Serbian during play. It also accompanied his tennis, the best that Novak Djokovic has shown in recent months, providing him with the necessary confidence to face his third-round match at the London Grand Slam against Arthur Rinderknech.
