‘Rooooone!’ Novak Djokovic is convinced Holger Rune fans booed him at Wimbledon

LA Times  

Novak Djokovic points at the crowd after defeating Holger Rune in their fourth-round match Monday at Wimbledon. During a fourth-round match against Denmark’s Holger Rune, Djokovic was clearly annoyed by the way fans at Centre Court cheered his opponent — loudly drawing out the “ooo” in a manner that is rather common at sporting events. You guys can’t touch me.” A few boos — or perhaps a few “Rooooones” — could be heard among the cheers during and after Djokovic’s speech. That’s absolutely something they choose — how they behave or how they choose to support the player is really up to them.” Rune was asked in his post-match news conference about Djokovic’s reaction to the fans. “I don’t regret my words or actions on the court.” Djokovic eventually grew tired of the topic.
