Novak Djokovic produced an impressive performance at Wimbledon to cruise into the quarterfinals, but the 24-time grand slam champion was far from happy after his win.
Novak Djokovic produced another impressive performance at Wimbledon on Monday to cruise into the quarterfinals, but the 24-time grand slam champion was far from happy after his win. The Serb took just over two hours to beat Holger Rune – 6-3 6-4 6-2 – on Centre Court but was irked by sections of the crowd who were rooting for his Danish opponent. Throughout the match, spectators could be heard shouting “Ruuuuune” in support of the world No. 15, a chant which sounds similar to booing.
I focus on the respectful people, who have respect, that paid the ticket to come and watch tonight, and love tennis and appreciate the players and the effort that the players put in here. “I’ve played in a much more hostile environment, trust me. You guys can’t touch me.” It’s not the first time Djokovic has been left angry by the crowd after a match against Rune. At the 2021 US Open, the same situation occurred when Djokovic was confused by what he thought was booing from the crowd.
