Novak Djokovic made headlines after his Wimbledon crunch match yesterday as he slammed the Centre Court crowd for ‘disrespecting him.’

Hundreds of Holger rune fans cheered him on with cries of ‘Ruuuuuuuune’ during the pair’s fourth-round tie on Monday, but Djokovic accused them of ‘booing’ 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. “I know they were cheering for Rune but that’s an excuse to also boo,” he said. “I have been on the tour for more than 20 years. I know all the tricks.”

In more heartwarming scenes, the Serbian was seen playing with his daughter Tara as she watched the uncomfortable scenes with his wife Jelena. The 37-year-old tennis champion has two children with his wife Jelena, Stefan, 9, and Tara, 6. Novak also gave a nod to his girl as he pretended to play the violin with his tennis racket for his daughter after defeating Denmark’s Rune.

Djokovic is on course to win the championship at Wimbledon seven times. He told the crowd on Monday “I played in much more hostile environments, trust me.”

One person who has supported him throughout his career is teen sweetheart Jelena. Djokovic married his high school girlfriend in July 2014. Despite her helping the Serbian to perform at the highest level, the couple previously opened up on the trials and tribulations they’ve encountered with their marriage being in the public eye.

In a previous on-court interview, Djokovic referred to himself as a “wolf”, and explained the phrase means that being in a relationship with him can be challenging. “It can be very stressful to run with the wolf. I know that she doesn’t enjoy it at all times. It’s kind of living on the edge with the wolf,” he said.

The 36-year-old said he “carries” wolf traits within him, something his wife struggles with at times, but claimed it is ‘useful energy’. “That dynamic energy sometimes turns into a roar or an outburst.,” he said.
