Kwon Soon-woo, who stood on the Wimbledon center court for the first time in his life, faced Djokovic, who is aiming for the title for the fourth year in a row, in a close match that exceeded expectations.



The scene in which Djokovic overtook Djokovic with a few witty drop shots that swung over the net and brought the second set was the highlight.



In the first sub game of Djokovic in the 4th set, who were behind 2-1, it was painful that he could not save even after holding two breakpoints.



In the end, Kwon Soon-woo, who lost 3 to 1, said goodbye to Djokovic amidst the fans' standing ovation and left the court.
