Wimbledon was abuzz last Sunday, not just because of the intense matches, but also due to a heartwarming update from tennis legend Novak Djokovic regarding the Princess of Wales, Catherine.
Making her second public appearance since revealing her health battle in March, Princess Catherine presented a radiant and composed demeanor as she graced the prestigious tournament with her presence.
Despite facing a tough loss against Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6, the Serbian star found solace and joy after interacting with the Royal.
Expressing his admiration and relief after conversing with Princess Catherine, Djokovic shared with the crowd his privilege of being in her presence once again.
“I’ve said to her that it is very nice to see her in good health.
She seems to be in good health,” Djokovic revealed, providing a comforting confirmation for fans and well-wishers.
The Princess, who has been undergoing preventative cancer treatment, appeared strong and vibrant, much to the delight of the public and the tennis community.
Emphasizing the positive impact of Princess Catherine’s presence at Wimbledon, Djokovic highlighted the significance it had on the event and the country as a whole.
“That’s obviously very positive news for everyone in this country, but also for Wimbledon, for championships, to have her Royal Highness here, of course with her family members, it’s amazing, it’s incredible support they’ve been giving over the years to this tournament,” Djokovic remarked, acknowledging the Royal family’s enduring support and connection to tennis.
Noting the Princess’s long-standing affinity for tennis, Djokovic mentioned, “I know that she and her sister have played tennis for a very long time, so they truly respect and admire the game.
They also understand tennis, which is great.”
