Djokovic expresses anger towards Rune supporters
- Published4 minutes ago
Novak Djokovic accused some of the Centre Court crowd of using a Holger Rune chant as "an excuse to boo" as his hot-and-cold relationship with Wimbledon took another turn.
Hundreds of fans greeted Rune winners, and Djokovic errors, with elongated cries of 'Ruuuuuuu-ne' during the pair’s fourth-round match on Monday.
Djokovic - a convincing 6-3 6-4 6-2 winner - felt the crowd were disrespecting him.
When on-court interviewer Rishi Persad put it to the Serb that they were supporting his opponent, Djokovic said there was more to it.
