The Serbian tennis star shook hands with the young prince and asked him if  he wanted to hold his trophy. Prince George nodded shyly.

When handed the trophy, George marveled at it, his mother supporting the ornate cup. Meanwhile, his father said, "don't drop it".

Djokovic defeated Australian Nick Kyrgios to win his seventh Wimbledon and 21st Grand Slam title on July 10.

The Serbian tennis star's latest victory puts him one Grand Slam ahead of Roger Federer. Djokovic is now just one short Rafael Nadal's record of 22.

Djokovc has also become the fourth male player in current era of professional tennis to win four back-to-back Wimbledon titles, after Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras and Federer.

"I'm lost for words for what this tournament and this trophy means to me," Djokovic was quoted as saying by news agency AFP.  "It always has been and will be the most special one in my heart."

Djokovic also spoke fondly of his opponent, describing their relationship as "officially a bromance".

"It is tough to find consolation words at a moment like this but you showed why you are one of the best players in the world," he added.
