The Rocket and Lily, 18, sat near the Serbian’s team as they took in the action.

Djokovic, 37, was taking on Czech ace Vit Kopriva.

As he cruised to take the first set 6-1, fans gradually noticed O’Sullivan’s presence.

Seeing the Rocket on Centre Court, one posted: “No way my two goats.”

While a second gushed alongside a heart emoji: “Ronnie O’Sullivan and his daughter Lily cheering for Novak.”

The Rocket has previously gushed over his admiration for Djokovic.

Speaking last year, the seven-time world champion admitted: “(Roger) Federer, (Rafael) Nadal, Djokovic – I’ve always loved watching them.

“They are the three best players of all time.

“To me, he (Djokovic) will be the king of all.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a footballer, golfer or hockey player – everyone looks at Djokovic.

“I wish I could do what Djokovic does on the court at the table.

“The life of a tennis pro is hard. But when you’re at the top… the places they play are impressive.”
