Tennis: Novak Djokovic accused Wimbledon fans of 'disrespect' in a withering on-court tirade after reaching a 60th Grand Slam quarter-final and 15th at the All England Club.
‘If somebody steps over the line, I react’: Djoker doubles down on crowd attack as interview cut short Novak Djokovic has doubled down on his taunting of the Wimbledon crowd, while also abruptly cutting short an interview as he was being grilled over a remarkable post-win interview.
Djokovic, who said he did not back away from what was asked on court, was quizzed later as to whether the time had come for Wimbledon to react when fans “stepped over the line” when it came to heckling.“I mean, those particular moments when the crowd pay for their tickets, they have the right to be there and cheer the way they want to cheer.
On a heated day at Wimbledon - the miserable weather aside - Roland Garros finalist Alexander Zverev was also perturbed by the behaviour of some members of Taylor Fritz’s support team after conceding a two set lead to lose to the American. “His team is extremely respectful. I think his coach, his physio, also his second coach, they’re extremely respectful,” he said.
