In the caption, he remembered his days of childhood and revealed how he used to make trophies out of some material and dreamt of winning Wimbledon one day.

“I know I am late, but it’s never too late with the Wimbledon post. I wanted to write few words and acknowledge this wonderful piece of art whose author is unknown (at least to me). When I first saw this picture I was emotional. It brought me back to childhood and my first tennis steps. When I was a kid, I was constructing Wimbledon trophy out of improvised material I could find in my room,” wrote Djokovic.

The Serbian legend disclosed that it is always a special feeling for him to win the Wimbledon Championships. He also mentioned that he always backed himself and believed that he could win the title one day.

“To win this sacred and most special tournament for me for 6th time is surreal. I am blessed and grateful to experience many beautiful moments on the holy grass of Wimbledon.
