The win led to one of the best moments of the competition — the sight of Djokovic plucking and tasting Wimbledon’s grass after the victory. Djokovic’s quirks or foibles Djokovic’s ball bouncing before his serve is legendary. Whether it’s just a tactic to upset his rival’s concentration or a quirk, it has proven to be mighty effective.
