The organizers of Wimbledon came forward to explain why Novak Djokovic was left out of the promotional material for the upcoming Grand Slam in London.
Djokovic has so far won his 23rd Grand Slam title, and he has been defending his title in London since last year.
“We are extremely proud that Novak appears in our promotional video and that he is presented as one of the champions who needs other players to be challengers. “Creatively, the final scene of the promo spot features several singles players who are positioned as challengers, and therefore there is neither Novak nor Jelena at that moment,” reads Wimbledon’s response.
“As we get closer to the tournament, and during it, Novak will have a prominent place in our strategy. Also, we’re sure fans are delighted to have seen many posts on our social networks in recent weeks celebrating his latest Grand Slam success (23rd title at Roland Garros, ed.), as well as ‘rewinding’ to his celebration with as a family at the Central Stadium”, they concluded.
