Novak Djokovic not only silenced Cameron Norrie but also the British fans at Davis Cup. After leading Serbia to the semi-finals, he got into a fight with some rowdy spectators. “You have to learn to show some respect,” he said.
After Miomir Kecmanovic’s cross against Jack Draper, Novak Djokovic led Serbia to the semi-finals of the Davis Cup.
However, the world number one had more difficulty with the raucous crowd than Cameron Norrie (6-4, 6-4).
When a spectator tried to distract Djokovic between serves at the end of the first set, he celebrated the point with pride.
The tone was set and British spectators increasingly targeted the 24-time Grand Slam winner. When they beat their drums during his victory speech, Djokovic had had enough.
“You guys need to learn to show some respect,” he replied.
And then Djokovic got back into shape. He added: “There was no respect throughout the match.” “But that’s something I have to expect during the Davis Cup.”
“It’s normal for fans to cross boundaries sometimes. At this moment you sometimes have to respond and show that you will not tolerate this behavior. They can do what they want, but I will respond to it.”
Semi-final against Italy
Serbia will meet Italy in the semi-finals on Saturday, which ousted the Netherlands 2-1. This results in a new confrontation between Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, which is a rematch of the ATP Finals final.
Djokovic can win the Davis Cup for the second time in his career. His victory the previous year was 13 years ago.
The other semi-final match will be held between Finland and Australia. That match is scheduled to take place today.
