Crowd Interrupts Novak Djokovic's Match To Celebrate Soccer Win

Wimbledon is happening right now, but while that event was happening on English soil, a good portion of the country had their eyes on what was happening in Germany with the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament and England's match against Switzerland.

Apparently, some of the people who were on hand to watch Novak Djokovic take on Alexei Popyrin were keeping tabs on soccer too, because they wound up interrupting the tennis match.

As the Serbian tennis great was preparing to return a serve from Popyrin when the crowd started to cheer seemingly out of nowhere.

Of course, it wasn't out of nowhere. Word was just getting around the stadium that England had defeated the Swiss on penalties after 120 minutes of soccer left things knotted at 1-1.

That's a pretty cool moment. We all know they take their soccer seriously over there — I mean, we had a street fight between some English and German fans on Friday — so pretty awesome for everyone to learn the news around the same time.

I don't know if I'd be super pumped about it if I was a Wimbledon organizer though. You've got arguably the biggest, most prestigious tennis tournament in the world happening and it gets interrupted by the result of a European championship quarterfinal match being played in another country.

But whatever, still cool.

There was another fun moment in this match, but it came at the very end.

Djokovic had just finished dispatching Popyrin and after the two exchanged handshakes with each other and the umpire, Djokovic had a little fun trolling the crowd with a "sad violin."

Wimbledon crowds and Novak Djokovic haven't always been on each others' Christmas card lists, but that's a fun bit of trolling.

Djokovic will face Denmark's Holger Rune on Monday. As for the English soccer team, they'll face the Netherlands on Wednesday.
