World No 1 Novak Djokovic Tells British Fans to “Shut Up” During Speech
The World No 1 tennis player Novak Djokovic tells British fans to shut up during his interview after Serbia’s Davis Cup quarterfinal win.
Novak Djokovic, the world number one, led Serbia to the Davis Cup semi-finals by defeating Cameron Norrie 6-4, 6-4, securing a 2-0 victory over Great Britain in Malaga on Thursday. At the end of the match, Djokovic admonished British fans attempting to drown out his victory speech.
“Keep going, keep going,” said Djokovic, addressing British fans trying to drown him out with drums as he spoke after his win. “Learn how to respect players, learn how to behave yourself,” Djokovic said, pointing into the crowd. “No, you shut up, you be quiet.
Despite being outnumbered by British fans at the sold-out Martin Carpena arena, Djokovic silenced them with his 21st consecutive Davis Cup singles win. Based on the report, he had earlier expressed his goal of winning the competition this year, a year in which he secured seven titles, including three Grand Slams.
Despite his impressive performance, the 24-time grand slam champion admitted to feeling tired after a demanding year on tour. Djokovic also expressed frustration with fans attempting to annoy him during the match, acknowledging that such behavior is something he has to be prepared for in a Davis Cup.
Having been part of Serbia’s only Davis Cup triumph in 2010, Djokovic played a pivotal role in eliminating 10-time champions Britain. The British team, without the injured Andy Murray and Dan Evans, had hoped for a cushion from Draper, but faced an uphill struggle after Kecmanovic defeated Draper in two tie-breaks.
