Novak Djokovic overcame a two-set deficit to reach his 11th semifinal match at Wimbledon on Tuesday, but it was his display of class and sportsmanship that won over the crowd at Centre Court.
After dropping the first two sets 5-7, 2-6 and coming back to win the third, Djokovic was steadily changing the pace of the match when 10th-seeded Jannik Sinner took an ugly slip while trying to return a drop shot.
As Sinner rolled on the ground grabbing his ankle, Djokovic hopped the net to help his opponent up.
