"Blow... we need everybody to help!" 😂 @DjokerNole's efforts to get Centre Court dry... #Wimbledon
(VIDEO) "Blow... we need everybody to help": Djokovic jokes as he attempts to help dry Centre Court at Wimbledon

Novak Djokovic has been off court for closing in on an hour with a rain delay seeing the players on Centre Court go off until the roof came on at 2023 Wimbledon.
But as ever, it takes time for the roof to come on meaning rain can break through and cause delays even with the roof and it cannot be put on pre-emptively in case of rain.
Djokovic saw the funny side though and was also pro active in his quest for play to resume.
He went on to the court with a towel attempting to dry it and jovially on the side said "Blow... we need everybody to help" as a member of his coaching team fanned the court.
Crowd were getting restless though with shouts of 'get on with it' and a groundsman soon came on with a blower.
Not a good look for the tournament on the opening day but one that has made for great entertainment.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
