A fan proposed to his girlfriend during Novak Djokovic's Wimbledon match on Centre Court on Monday, and after she accepted, Djokovic asked for an invitation to the wedding.
Proposal interrupts Djokovic's match
The incident occurred at the start of the second set of Djokovic's clash with Yibing Wu. As Djokovic returned to his side of the court, he noticed the crowd cheering for the newly engaged couple. He gave them a thumbs-up and then asked, "I want an invite to the wedding."
The couple, who were seated in the stands, had just become engaged moments earlier, drawing attention from the spectators and the seven-time Wimbledon champion.
Djokovic reacts warmly
Djokovic's reaction was captured on BBC broadcast, showing him smiling and gesturing toward the couple. The crowd responded with applause and cheers. The Serbian star, known for his on-court intensity, appeared delighted by the interruption.
According to reports, the proposal took place during a changeover, and the woman said yes, prompting the celebration. Djokovic's lighthearted request for a wedding invitation added to the festive atmosphere on Centre Court.
Wimbledon is known for its traditions and occasional romantic moments, but a proposal during a match is a rare occurrence. The couple's engagement will likely be remembered as one of the tournament's most memorable off-court highlights.
