Djokovic booed again, or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named".
It seems that some Wimbledon spectators didn't really appreciate the little lesson in good behavior that Novak Djokovic tried to give them at the end of his Round of 16 match against Holger Rune. The Serb didn't appreciate the "Ruuuuunnnee" cheers for Holger Rune, which he felt sounded too much like booing at times.
As a result, the "boos" followed the world no. 2 into Wednesday's quarter-final match between Lorenzo Musetti and Taylor Fritz. When the announcer on Court n°1 called out Djokovic's name to ask the Italian about his semi-final match, some of the spectators started booing again.
This should please the seven-time tournament winner greatly. And perhaps even give him a little extra motivation, as he seems to have such a capacity to sublimate himself in the face of adversity.
Djokovic (Monday evening): "To all those people who have chosen to be disrespectful to players, and in this case to me, I wish you a 'gooooood niiiight'. Goooood niight, goooood niight, a very good night.
That was disrespectful, I don't accept Rune's explanation of encouragement. No, no, no. I know they were rooting for Rune but that's an excuse to go 'boo' too. I've been on the ATP Tour for over 20 years, so believe me, I know the tricks. I know how it works. [...]
I've played in much more hostile environments, trust me, you can't touch me."
Was this one actual booo......or just another Ruuuuune?
Maybe Moooooooosetti?
What happened?
He's not fighting for your beliefs anymore, or you just found something when you looked inward and you're back to your true Fedal roots?
I don't really think success itself has a lot to do with how fans ultimately feel about someone, besides the inevitable glory supporters you get in all sports.
But he will never reach the fan base that Roger and Rafa has.
Try to win people’s hearts Novak
The exact same thing is going on here with Djokovic.......HYPOCRISY!
Here are some other non biased thoughts about the same "incident"....
