"I frankly don't understand that": Djokovic finds those who boo his every move baffling and 'disrespectful'

Novak Djokovic once again experienced some moments with the tennis crowd as he was booed by the Parisian crowd more than once in his match against Davidovich Fokina.

The Serbian is known to be booed by crowds rather often which is somewhat surprising considering he's one of the most known tennis players in the world. Not being popular among crowds isn't anything new for him as it's been that way for much of his career. Popularity is a category in which he always trailed Nadal and Federer and by a mile. He knows it, the world knows but he still feels it's disrespectful.

Speaking after the match, Djokovic questioned the crowds behaviour though it wasn't always bad. He has quite a few fond memories:

"Up and down, I would say, throughout my career. They gave me a lot of support I think the years where I was losing in finals or, you know, the last couple of steps before winning a title. Those years, you know, I received quite a lot of support and love, and I was very grateful for that. I have wonderful memories."

He added:

"I still get support, you know, even today. I think majority of the people comes to enjoy tennis or support one or the other player. But they are individuals. You know, they are people, they're groups or whatever, that love to boo every single thing you do. That's something that I find disrespectful and I frankly don't understand that. But it's their right. They paid the ticket. They can do whatever they want."

And more:

"At times, you know, I will stay quiet. Not at times. Actually 99% of the time I will stay quiet. Sometimes I will oppose that, because I feel when somebody is disrespectful, you know, he or she deserves to have an answer to that. That's what it is all about."
