Drama. 😮 🥁 The Team GB section was playing drums during Djokovic’s interview, after knocking Great Britain out of the Davis Cup: Novak replied: "Learn how to respect players, learn how to respect people, you shut up, you be quiet."

Novak Djokovic sealed Serbia's spot in the semi-finals of the Davis Cup Finals where Jannik Sinner could await again for the king of tennis. But he was left fuming at British fans in the stands in Malaga.
Djokovic saw off Cameron Norrie 6-4, 6-4 during the tie and as part of that, he also celebrated wildly as fans made noise while he was returning.
But also they played a drum while he was being interviewed in a way to try and drown out the Serbian. Djokovic though was not having any of it in a dramatic moment on court.
"Learn how to respect players, learn how to respect people, you shut up, you be quiet," he said as members of the Serbian team looked up to the stands to try and figure out who it was.
A man on a mission in Malaga and one who doesn't take too kindly to not being respected, it seems.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
