After Serbia’s Davis Cup quarterfinal win, Novak Djokovic asked fans of the Great Britain team to “shut up” during his post-match interview. Djokovic expressed frustration with the fans continuing to make noise while he answered on-court questions. “Learn how to respect players, learn how to behave yourself,” Djokovic said before telling the crowd to be quiet as he looked to secure Serbia’s 2-0 victory. Despite the disruption, Djokovic outclassed his opponent with a straight-sets win.
This remarkable season has seen Djokovic win three out of four grand slams, leading many to believe he is poised to win the Davis Cup title. Earlier this month, the Serb also secured a record seventh title at the ATP Finals. However, despite his dominant performance, the 24-time grand slam champion admitted to feeling tired after a busy year on tour.
The match had a tense atmosphere as fans tried to annoy the Serbian player, to which he responded to in the post-match interview. GB’s Davis Cup captain, Leon Smith, confirmed there was “zero animosity” between the teams and that noisy crowds provide better atmospheres for Davis Cup fixtures.
