In a heartwarming display of sportsmanship, Novak Djokovic sent well wishes to fellow tennis stars Nick Kyrgios and Andy Murray after his triumphant return at Wimbledon. Djokovic, who made a straight-sets win over Vit Kopriva in the first round, extended his support to Kyrgios and Murray, who were absent from the tournament due to injuries.

Having been away from professional tennis since his withdrawal from the French Open, Djokovic empathized with the struggles faced by his counterparts. Speaking after his victory, Djokovic acknowledged Kyrgios, who was commentating on the match for ESPN, saying, "I've been fortunate comparing myself to other 37-year-olds. I had injuries like anybody else, but they come and go. It's part of what you do. You just have to accept it and embrace it."

Turning his attention to Kyrgios, Djokovic expressed sympathy for the Australian player's injury struggles. "He's been struggling a lot with injuries. Talking about major injuries, he's had a few. I've been very fortunate to not be away from tennis for long," said Djokovic.

As an athlete himself, Djokovic understands the frustration that accompanies physical setbacks, remarking, "You almost feel helpless at times that something isn't allowing you to come back to what you love most and you're unable to do your profession for years."

Djokovic then shifted his focus to Murray, who withdrew from the singles draw on the day of his match. Murray, a two-time Wimbledon champion, recently underwent surgery on a spinal cyst. In light of his decision, Djokovic expressed respect for Murray and the impact he has had on the tournament and the sport as a whole.

"Andy Murray withdrawing is a great blow to the tournament," Djokovic acknowledged as the Centre Court crowd erupted in support of the British favourite. "Great respect to him. All he's done in this tournament... In this sport."

Offering words of encouragement, Djokovic expressed hope for Murray's return to singles tennis next year, stating, "Hopefully, he'll give it another shot next year in singles. I just send him my best... it's worth acknowledging all these athletes that are struggling."

Novak Djokovic's thoughtful words of support for Nick Kyrgios and Andy Murray demonstrate the camaraderie and understanding that exists within the tennis community. As Djokovic continues his campaign at Wimbledon, his victory stands not only as a testament to his own resilience but also as a reminder of the challenges faced by fellow athletes on their journeys to recovery.
