Watch Novak Djokovic’s daughter SHUSH Wimbledon crowd during his win over Pedro Cachin
NOVAK DJOKOVIC’S daughter hilariously shushed the Wimbledon crowd as she watched her legendary father in action on Monday.
The 36-year-old is chasing his eighth Wimbledon crown and a 24th Grand Slam title in SW19 this month.

The reigning champ got off to the perfect start as he beat Argentine Pedro Cachin 6-3 6-3 7-6 (7-4) on Centre Court.
However, the Serbian was forced to wait for his win.
A rain shower brought the first set to a halt in an eventual 90-minute delay before the action could be resumed.
Djokovic humoured those tennis fans in attendance by attempting to dry the wet grass with a towel.
And he then jokingly asked everyone to blow onto the surface at once as he tried to lighten the mood.
However, despite the fun and games, there was one moment in the crowd’s behaviour that did not seem to go down well with the icon’s young daughter.
Five-year-old Tara was watching the action alongside her mum Jelena, who married Djokovic in 2014, in the player’s box.
The camera panned to them when Djokovic struck the net with his serve.

Tara then amusingly looked to her mother and put a finger to her lips and let out a loud and long “shush” in an apparent telling off to the crowd for their role in her dad’s failed serve.
Djokovic said in his on-court interview after the win: “It doesn’t get much better than Wimbledon, really, in terms of history and tradition. I’ve said it many times throughout my career.
“Coming to Wimbledon was always the dream, to win it. A childhood dream came true in 2011 and each year I come back I kind of relive those memories and just kind of connect with that young boy that was dreaming in Serbia.
“I try to not take any match, any minute that I spend on the court here for granted. I’m definitely blessed, so it’s a wonderful feeling to be here.”
Djokovic and Jelena have two children together, with their son Stefan born in October 2014 before Tara entered the world in September 2017.
Djokovic was also spotted practising with Stefan on the first day of Wimbledon.
He played with his eight-year-old son on a practice court at the All England Club.
