Novak Djokovic
Novak Djokovic recently addressed the issue of facing negativity and unfriendly noises from spectators during his matches. While acknowledging that most people come to enjoy tennis or support the players, he expressed his disappointment with the individuals or groups who “boo” him for every single thing he does. Djokovic finds such behavior disrespectful and fails to understand it.
Despite facing this negativity, Djokovic remains motivated and undeterred. He believes that everyone has the right to express themselves, even if it involves booing, as they have paid for their tickets. During a recent match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at Roland Garros, Djokovic faced some unfriendly noises from the crowd, particularly after his celebrations and when he took a medical timeout.
However, Djokovic did not let these noises affect his performance. He responded to the crowd by sarcastically waving his hand, giving a thumbs-up, and laughing, indicating that he was not bothered by the negative reactions. Djokovic emphasized that he usually stays quiet in such situations but sometimes feels the need to respond to disrespectful behavior.
As a player who has won the French Open in 2016 and 2021, Djokovic remains focused on his game and does not let the unfriendly noises distract him. He sees it as part of the sport and believes that those who are disrespectful deserve an answer. Djokovic’s ability to stay focused and motivated despite external negativity is a testament to his mental strength and determination.
