Wimbledon Questions: Kvitova Court Assignment, Djokovic Popularity

Guardian sportswriter Tumaini Carayol addressed Wimbledon fan questions regarding Petra Kvitova's final court assignment and Novak Djokovic's popularity among tennis fans.

Regarding Petra Kvitova's final match being scheduled on Court One instead of Centre Court, Carayol noted that while Kvitova was an incredible champion and enjoyable player to watch, the assignment was not disrespectful. Court One remains a massive stadium with iconic status in tennis, and Kvitova appeared happy to play on a big court at Wimbledon one last time. playerbros.org

On Djokovic's popularity, Carayol described him as a polarizing figure with both critics and supporters. While many fans have rooted against him, particularly against Federer, Djokovic maintains a large and vocal fanbase and has grown in popularity during the latter part of his career.
