Speaking after he beat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina after needing remedy from the physio, Djokovic stated: “I think the majority of the people come to enjoy tennis or support one or the other player.

“But there are people that love to boo every single thing you do. That's something that I find disrespectful and I frankly don't understand that. But it's their right. They paid the ticket. They can do whatever they want. Actually 99 per cent of the time I will stay quiet. Sometimes I will oppose that, because I feel when somebody is disrespectful, he or she deserves to have an answer to that.”
