Djokovic hilariously revisits 'Good Night' controversy with fans at Paris 2024

Novak Djokovic surprised fans by recalling the controversial 'good night' remark he made at Wimbledon. The 24-time Grand Slam champion was warming up at Roland Garros when some spectators shouted out, reminding him of the moment, which the Serbian took with humor.

The world No. 2 had a controversial day at SW19 a month ago when he defeated Holger Rune in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. Djokovic claimed that some fans disrespected him by booing and responded to them in the on-court interview: “To all those people that have chosen to disrespect the player, in this case me. Have a goooooood night,” he said.

Djokovic’s response to the boos overshadowed his victory over the Dane, keeping him in the race while pursuing his 8th Wimbledon title: “I know they were cheering for Rune, but that's no excuse to also boo. Listen, I've been on the tour for more than 20 years. So trust me, I know all the tricks,” said Djokovic after beating Rune.

This time, at Paris 2024, a video shows Nole warming up, while a couple of fans in the stands shout the same ‘good night’ phrase at the Serbian, bringing back the controversy. Djokovic took it with humor and jokingly responded in the same manner as at Wimbledon.

The 37-year-old Serbian now awaits his first Olympic Games final on Sunday, where he will have his 7th encounter with Carlos Alcaraz (3-3 so far). Djokovic will be seeking the gold medal, the last title missing from his extensive trophy collection.
