"She knows daddy will play final & win it as usual" - Fans delighted by Novak Djokovic's daughter Tara reading a book during his Wimbledon 3R win

Novak Djokovic's daughter Tara was spotted reading a book while her father played against Alexei Popyrin in the third round at Wimbledon on Friday, July 6. Fans were delighted to see Tara do her own thing while the Serb managed to pick up another win and advance into the last 16.

Djokovic's participation at the grasscourt Slam was in doubt after he withdrew from the French Open early in June due to a knee injury. The World No. 2 underwent surgery but recovered in time to play at Wimbledon.

He got the better of Vit Kopriva in the first round in straight sets and defeated British player Jacob Fearnley in the second round in four sets.

Against Popyrin in the third round, the Serb faced a scare after losing the first set but went on to win the next three sets to advance into his 16th fourth-round appearance at SW19.

During the match, Djokovic's wife Jelena, son Stefan, and daughter Tara were in attendance to support the seven-time Wimbledon champion. Stefan adorably imitated his father's overhand smash, while Tara was spotted engrossed in a book. Fans were delighted to see Tara do her thing in the Centre Court stands.

"She knows daddy will play finals and win it as usual," one fan wrote.

"According to Novak she has zero interest in tennis! Good thing she found something else to do!:)" another fan wrote.

"Beautiful Tara, she's a relax girl! She trust her father!" a third fan wrote.

Here are a few more fan reactions to Djokovic's daughter reading a book while her father played on Centre Court.

"We would do the same when we had to go to work with Dad," one fan wrote.

"Me pretending that tennis don’t exists while my fav is losing," another fan wrote.

"It must get a bit boring when dad is so good that he never loses," wrote yet another.

After completing the win over Alexei Popyrin in the third round at Wimbledon, Djokovic celebrated by imitating playing the violin using his racquet as a prop. Soon after, he blew a kiss towards his family. In a press conference after the match, he revealed the hidden meaning behind the celebration.

"That was for Tara. My [daughter] has been playing violin for some time already, six months, and we agreed that I would celebrate that way," he said.

The 37-year-old shares a close bond with his family which is regularly there to support him. The Serb, who has faced three unseeded players until now, will take on 15th seed Holger Rune in the fourth round at Wimbledon on Monday, July 8.
