Novak Djokovic | Pandemic & Citizens | Tennis
To all the fans that have had respect and stayed here tonight, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I appreciate it. And to all those people that have chosen to disrespect the player – in this case me – have a goooooooood night.

They were. They were. I’m not accepting it. No, no, no. I know they were cheering for Rune but that’s an excuse to also boo. Listen, I’ve been on the tour for more than 20 years. I know all the tricks. I focus on the respectful people that pay for the ticket, and love tennis and appreciate the players. I played in much more hostile environments, trust me – you guys can’t touch me!
All the true tennis fans respect the players. Of course you will support one player over another and they have freedom to choose who they back. If someone steps over the line, I react and after the match I said what I said.
