Novak Djokovic accused Wimbledon fans of 'disrespect' in a withering on-court tirade after reaching a 60th Grand Slam quarterfinal and 15th at the All England Club.
Winner Serbia's Novak Djokovic speaks during an interview and reacts to the cheering of the crowd at the end of his men's singles tennis match against Denmark's Holger Rune on the eighth day of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships at The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon , southwest London, on July 8, 2024.
"And to all those people that have chosen to disrespect the player — in this case me — have a goooooooood night," he added, mocking his tormentors' exaggerated "Ruuuuune". "I'm not sure what Wimbledon can do about it. You can't remove a whole section of the crowd if they are misbehaving," he said.The 37-year-old Serb, still sporting a knee support on his right leg after undergoing surgery last month, set the tone for Monday's fourth-round tie when Rune failed to win a single point in the opening three games.
"Now we're in England. If you don't know what was happening, probably it sounded like 'boo'. If he didn't remember, it could probably sound different for him."Level up your gaming and snacking experience with new Hershey's Choco Balls!Level up your gaming and snacking experience with new Hershey's Choco Balls!
