The final match on Monday night on Center Court saw the seven-time Wimbledon champion defeat Rune 6-3, 6-4, 6-2.
“Ruuuuune” was yelled by spectators, encouraging his 21-year-old Danish opponent, but the 37-year-old mistook their cheers for “booooo”
In a courtside interview, Djokovic remarked, “To all those people that have chose to disrespect a player, in this case me, have a gooooood night.”
“I reject it. I realize they were supporting Rune, but it doesn’t mean you can still be mean.
“Listen, I’ve been on the tour for over 20 years, so you can believe that I understand all the nuances and how everything operates.
It’s alright. I’ll concentrate on the polite individuals who purchase tickets to attend the evening tennis matches, love the game, and recognize the hard work that the players put in.
“Trust me, I’ve played in far more aggressive settings. I’m safe from your touch, folks.
When asked if organisers of the tournament ought to take action against spectators who behave inappropriately during the match, Djokovic responded, “I’m not sure what Wimbledon can really do about it.”
“The audience paid for their tickets at the specific times when it occurs. It is their right to be present and to applaud however they see fit. It’s completely up to them to decide how to act or help the gamer in that regard.
