Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic had an expletive
rant at a fan in the Monte Carlo Masters. The 36-year-old, who is often regarded
as the greatest player in the history of men’s tennis in the Open era in the
singles category, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam titles.
Djokovic had a rather disappointing outing at the
Monte-Carlo Masters where he was knocked out after losing in the semifinal to
Norway’s Casper Ruud with a score of 6-4, 1-6, 6-4. In a video that appeared
on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — the number
one-ranked ATP player can be seen having a rant at a fan who is sitting in the
arena.
That rant was clearly understandable as this was the third
consecutive event this year where the reigning world number one failed to book
a place in the final this season. He is yet to get past the last-four stage in
the 2024 season. Previously, in the first Grand Slam of the season, Djokovic lost
in the semifinal to the current world number two Italy’s Jannik Sinner with a
score of 6-1, 6-2, 6,7, 6-3. Later at the Indian Wells, the Belgrade-born lost in
the round of 32 to another Italian, this time Luca Nardi, with a score of 6-4, 3-6,
6-3.

- The poor Head Sportswasher has been whining and crying in the media, and basically threatening Saba, Iga, etc. Must be a real Ego Buster when they dangle money and people (especially Women) say, 'No thanks'.
- "Losing-itis" is not uncommon in Emma's small world. Just keeps begging the question, 'What are sponsors paying for? Limited tennis appearances... or Social Selfie Media presence?'
- Dubai can suck it up like everyone else. Just because they think they run the show, they do not. Sportswashing does not give them Power.
- You're losing your mind here.. You use a lot of space, yet inadequate knowledge. Read the WTA Rule Book 2026; it answers all your questions and accusations.
- Why single out Iga and Aryna to punish?, Since when do players get punish because they withdraw from tournaments? Maybe if they both were treated like number one and two players, they would not have this problem. The WTA discriminates against them because of their nationalities, yet they want to make money off them. Every tournament, Iga has harder draws than qualifiers from the beginning to the end. In the Australian Open they stuck Aryna out in the sun the majority of her matches in order to tire her out. She is the number one player in the world and she never got the opportunity to play with the roof closed. If they want these top players to continue playing and making money for them, then they should treat them as such. Otherwise, get the players who they are always giving out cupcake draws to like Pegula to play their tournaments. Lets see how many seats in the audience she will fill. Iga has more fans in the seats than any player in the WTA, yet she is always disrespected and mistreated because of her nationality. The WTA is a corrupt, bias and racist organization. No matter what job someone is on, you cannot tell them that they are not sick or injured.
- LOL. Billie Jean King hates being a woman.
- Pulling out a tournament is not illegal. Therefore, that is no problem. Maybe they need more rest.
- It is simple. If you do not want cameras following you, get away from tennis and go find another job. Cameras and interviews are a part of the job. They do not mind cameras when they are winning. If the women tennis players would put the same amount energy to playing tennis as they do with complaints, women tennis would be exciting to watch.
- Yeah, that's what I would do... be nice and lose a match
- Turns out Swiatek is as big a cheater as Draper (remember vs FAA?)when she didn’t admit to hitting a double bounce drop shot. The blind chair ump didn't even see it on the replay but fortunately got the correct call from someone on the phone (supervisor?) we all saw it…..it wasn’t even a close call. Great win Sakkari !!
