Despite losing in the Wimbledon final against Carlitos Alcaraz, the Serbian champion Novak Djokovic received the esteem of Her Royal Highness Kate, the Princess of Wales. Kate Middleton – present in the Royal Box of the Centre Court and on the lawn for the delivery of the trophies during the award ceremony – during the match showed her sympathy for Djokovic, also from a lip-reading that the Princess of Wales showed, filmed by the media.
During the award ceremony and at the press conference, Nole spent beautiful words for Kate.
“It was obviously a privilege to be in her presence again. I said to her that it’s very nice to see her in good health. She looks good. Obviously it’s very positive news for everyone in this country, but also for Wimbledon, for The Championships, to have Her Royal Highness here, obviously with her family. It’s incredible. It’s incredible the support they’ve given to this tournament over the years. I know she and her sister have been playing tennis for a long time. So they really respect and admire the game. They also understand tennis, which is fantastic. It’s wonderful to have that kind of support from the royal family,” revealed the Serbian champion.
Kate Middleton looked healthy, from what we saw during the final of The Championships, and that in itself is already great news. The Princess of Wales, after abdominal surgery in January, discovered she had cancer, which forced her to undergo preventative chemotherapy. Wimbledon is only her second public appearance, after being diagnosed with the disease.
