Thanasi Kokkinakis bends over and shows bum to Novak Djokovic in odd Wimbledon incident

Thanasi Kokkinakis may not have troubled Novak Djokovic too much on his Centre Court debut, but the Aussie tennis ace left his mark another way after making the crowd laugh towards the end. Kokkinakis was always going to be up against it in his match against Djokovic, who hasn't lost at Wimbledon since 2016.

That proved to be the case with Djokovic quickly winning the first two sets and then going a double break up in the third. While Djokovic was serving for the match at 5-2 with the game tied 30-30, Kokkinakis then did something potentially never seen on Centre Court.

Djokovic smashed a fierce forehand down the line and sensed a return would be bouncing near the net and was already there for a delicate drop shot. Kokkinakis then scrambled to get a racket on it and sent it over directly at his opponent.

Sensing the point was already over at the point, Kokkinakis hilariously span round and bent over to seemingly tease Djokovic into hitting the ball at him. The No 1 seed rejected the open invitation, choosing to delicately lob the Australian.
