Novak Djokovic says Wimbledon fans disrespected him with 'excuse to boos'

Novak Djokovic accuses some Wimbledon fans of disrespect as his hot-and-cold relationship with Centre Court takes another turn.

www.bbc.co.uk

Along with the vaccine stuff and previous issues this is why he will never get the same level of “love” as Nadal or Federer

My wife was watching this last night, I was reading a book. The commentators repeatedly explained that the crowd were not booing, they were calling out his opponents name in a football style way. Imagine the Rooney chant, remove the eeee at the end, go deeper, and that's what you had. After they mentioned that, I listened, and they were right. Djokovic got it wrong, might feel a bit silly today.

Djokovic got it wrong, might feel a bit silly today.

Given his reluctance to admit being wrong on most subjects can't see him saying so

Excellent doubles final - great to see the Brit coming back with his partner who showed also how much it means to them

Aussies a bit grumpy

Great to see Hewitt and Reid win the wheelchair doubles and Hewitt to complete the career grand slam

Also Alcaraz smashing Novax - no violin playing today

What a great player and great guy. He will be missed, and those who didn’t get him will hopefully start to appreciate what he gave to tennis and to sport in the UK in general.
