Novak Djokovic left a BBC interview after being asked about the crowd incident during his match against Holger Rune.
After beating Rune at Wimbledon 2024, Djokovic sat down for an interview with the BBC. The reporter was eager to discuss the crowd clash.
During the match, Djokovic had a tense moment with the audience, even mocking them . He later clarified that he appreciated most of the fans but reacted only to a few who crossed the line.
Djokovic’s Reaction:
He thanked those who were respectful and supportive: “Look, as I said in the post-match interview, most of the people were respectful, and I thanked them. I know that after watching all day tennis, it’s not easy to say. I am thankful. I don’t take it for granted.”

“The crowds and people really appreciate the tennis players and what we do,” he added. “When I feel that the crowd is stepping over the line, I react, and I don’t regret my words or my actions on the court.”
However, when pressed further about this topic by the reporter, Djokovic showed his frustration: “Do you have any questions other than the crowd, or are you only focused on that? Any questions about the match? This is the third question about it. I said what I had to say.”
Fans might think he’s getting tired of being questioned about non-tennis matters.
Finally, Djokovic was briefly asked about his next opponent de Minaur before he abruptly ended and walked away from the interview.
What do you think? Should reporters focus more on tennis rather than off-court incidents?
