Troicki Takes Fan's Advice at Wimbledon, Wins Point Against Djokovic

Serbian tennis player Viktor Troicki struggled mightily today in his fourth round Wimbledon match against his countryman, world #1 Novak Djokovic.

Early in the third set when Troicki was trying to close out a service game, a fan yelled some advice to him - "Go to his backhand, Viktor."

Troicki initially responded by comically offering his racquet to the fan, essentially inviting him on to the court to demonstrate his expertise. He then took the fan's advice, served out wide to Djokovic's backhand, and won the point and his service game. Troicki charmingly gave the fan his due after the point.

I love that in tennis there is room for a smile and a laugh, even during a tense moment in an important match. Well played, Viktor.
