Wimbledon has corrected a major mistake and added Novak Djokovic to the poster for the tournament. The third Grand Slam of the season begins on July 3, and before the start, the organizers made a poster on which, for some reason, the best tennis player in the world, the winner of 23 Grand Slams and the seven-time champion of the tournament in London, was not on it.

Originally there were photos of Carlos Alcaraz, Roger Federer and Bjorn Borg on one side, and Coco Goff, Serena Williams and Martina Navratilova on the other.
