The Wimbledon Round of 16 clash between defending champion Novak Djokovic and Hubert Hurkacz was an intense affair with both players getting pushed to their limits. However, there was one moment in the match which left both the players and fans in splits. During the second set of the match, Djokovic chased a drop shot from Hurkacz which bounced inside his side but the spin took it towards Hurkacz's end. The top seed stretched out to get a decisive touch on the ball but ended up getting tripped by the net and completely lost his control. Djokovic did not sustain any injuries due to the incident but it left everyone in splits as Hurkacz enquired about his well-being and they even had a small chat.
