Novak Djokovic dominated Stefanos Tsitsipas so thoroughly 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, the sensations were unbeatable, and while the Greek player was in the locker room, Djokovic took the opportunity to pull one of his tricks.
Djokovic explained his funny scene with a Wimbledon ball girl
Djokovic asked the ball girl to carefully cut off a small part of the bandage that was sticking out on his right shoulder. She did it with great care and precision, but Djokovic pretended that she had hurt him and made a pained face, while the girl's face showed maximum concern. However, the Belgrade native didn't want to make her suffer any longer and laughed seconds later, telling her it was a joke, causing laughter among those witnessing the scene.

In fact, this moment did not go unnoticed by the interviewer who was courtside, and after the victory, he asked about what happened: "I guess these kinds of things happen 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. Sorry. I don't know if she's around here. I'm sorry if I scared her. It 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," joked the 23-time Grand Slam champion.
This scene in the middle of a Grand Slam match reflects the calmness and savoir-faire of the Serbian during the game. It also accompanied his tennis, which was the best Novak Djokovic has shown in recent months, giving him the necessary confidence to face his third-round match at the London Grand Slam against Arthur Rinderknech.
