Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic touched down in south Bucks this afternoon on a flying visit to an annual tennis tournament before he defends his title next week.

The world number one was flown in by helicopter to Boodles, a festival of tennis at Stoke Park which acts as a warm-up to the grand slam at the All England Club.

It is the tenth consecutive appearance for the 28-year-old player at the two-day event, which has a star-studded line up including Rafael Nadal and a special appearance by former Wimbledon winner Goran Ivanesevic.

Djokovic is currently taking on Frenchman Richard Gasquet on the park’s immaculate lawn courts.
