Tennis: Lorenzo Musetti has made it to the Wimbledon semi-finals and will face Novak Djokovic.
Musetti to go face-to-face with Djokovic | 00:37There was a moment in Melbourne in January where Novak Djokovic , a legend who has been booed by fans at Wimbledon this week, went to the bathroom and returned a completely different man.
Wearing an immaculate tuxedo ahead of the Laureus World Sports Awards in April, the record-breaker was quizzed as to whether he was the next “James Bond”. He was ice cool. From his race against time to be fit for The Championships to the scrutiny over whether his knee will hold up, from his form to his feisty rebuke of the Centre Court crowd that sparked a furore, and on to his regular practice sessions with Nick Kyrgios out at Aorangi Park, Djokovic has been the centre of attention ahead of a semi-final against Lorenzo Musetti on Friday.
If the magnificent tennis player was ever to be cast in a Bond film, one imagines it would be as the black hat, for he seems to revel in his role as the circuit’s pantomime villain., reveals Djokovic has always loved a quote from his good friend Kobe Bryant, who was a keen tennis fan before his death in a helicopter crash in 2020.
“But also we played away when everybody was against us and they were cheering for all the mistakes, even whistling, booing during the service motion, and he doesn’t mind that.
