Djokovic booed again, or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named".

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."

How many times over the years has Novak been booed? It can't be the crowd every time. At some point he may need to look inward...

BTW, ad6771, just yesterday you were making fun that The "crowd" wasn't boooing, but cheering for Ruuuuune.

Was this one actual booo......or just another Ruuuuune?

Maybe Moooooooosetti?

Ad6771, I know that you are a Fed fan, but the last 4 covid years, with all that AO 2022 and non-vaccination saga....bla bla, when all Fedals waited in the line to spit on him, giving the moral lectures how insensitive and irresponsible he is, you were defending him, the same way you are mocking him now in the every TT headline!

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 agree with Novak, booing people for double faulting or missing an easy shot is just bad sportsmanship.

It's really the consistency. When he talked after the Fearnly match, he was great. However, when we have this latest episode, the match time outs, arguing with the crowd, breaking racquets, USO DQ, covid party and visa stuff etc etc. It's kind of 1 step forward, 2 steps back. It makes fans think he may not be genuine, and so his tennis is appreciated, but the guy isn't loved in the same way as others.



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.

He may be the best of the big three

But he will never reach the fan base that Roger and Rafa has.

Try to win people’s hearts Novak

Bogbot, I like the way you play the wise gentlemen on one post then mocking on the other.

The exact same thing is going on here with Djokovic.......HYPOCRISY!



Here are some other non biased thoughts about the same "incident"....
