Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic were spotted exchanging tips at Wimbledon grounds as they waited to enter the court for Andy Murray's farewell. Fans were excited to see the pair having a conversation.

Murray received a special farewell ceremony at Centre Court on July 4, as the Brit and his brother Jamie lost their men's doubles first-round encounter. The 37-year-old withdrew from the singles event citing a recent back surgery and is hoping to participate in the mixed doubles event along with Emma Raducanu.

At Murray's emotional farewell, he was interviewed by Sue Barker. Swiatek and Djokovic were lined up on the court along with the likes of Martina Navratilova, John McEnroe, and Holger Rune.

However, before they entered the court, Swiatek and Djokovic were spotted indulging in an insightful conversation. The Serb seemingly imitated a forehand shot while explaining something to the Pole. A video of the interaction was posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Fans were amused by the interaction. Many claimed that the 24-time Grand Slam winner gave forehand tips to the World No. 1.

"Exchanging forehand tips with novak... We are cooking next match," one fan wrote.
"IGA SWIATEK asked Djokovic for tips to win Wimbledon and Novak is telling her to slice more and slide less lol," another fan assumed.
"Forehand tips?" a third fan asked.

Here are some more fan reactions to the pair's interaction.

"Oh the way players ask him for advice is just so wholesome," one fan wrote.
"OMG YES Novak pls give all the advice to Iga. Crying at this I think it's about forehand??? Oh girl really wants to win this!!!" another fan wrote.

One fan claimed the Serb was helping Swiatek for the potential fourth-round clash against Jelena Ostapenko:

"Novak giving Iga advice how to solve Jelena Ostapenko problem, oh she's coming," they wrote.

Iga Swiatek got the better of Sofia Kenin in the first round and Petra Martic in the second round to set up a third-round clash against Yulia Putintseva at Wimbledon.

Swiatek leads the head-to-head record against Putintseva 4-0. Most recently, the Pole defeated the Kazakh at the 2024 Italian Open in Rome 6-3, 6-4. The pair's fifth match-up is set to take place on Saturday, July 6.

Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic, who was a doubt for the Grasscourt Slam, will take on Alexei Popyrin in the third round. The Serb underwent surgery on his knee soon after he pulled out of the French Open. However, the 37-year-old recovered in time to launch an attempt toward a record-equaling eighth Wimbledon title.

Djokovic and Popyrin will be clashing for the third time on Saturday, July 6. The Serb leads their head-to-head record 2-0 with the latest win coming at the 2024 Australian Open.
