Monte-Carlo: Even after a vicious on-court altercation, Novak Djokovic is still in full revenge mode as he taunts Italian fans once more.
These days, not every tennis player receives a lot of support from the public. Their discouraging demeanor might occasionally destroy a player’s self-assurance. The spectators attempted to pull this prank on Djokovic. Even Nevertheless, the latter used such flimsy techniques to demonstrate why he is unstoppable.
The top tennis player in the world recently shared a photo from the Monaco Monte Carlo Masters on Instagram, writing, “I dedicate this victory to the orchestra. #rolexmastersmontecarlo.” The picture showed Djokovic facing the audience while playfully mimicking the movements of a conductor with his hands up in the air. Now, this Serbian icon defeated the Italian ATP standout in his match against Lorenzo Musetti. Djokovic was meant to be commended for his genius, but irate Italian supporters began jeering him, shattering his self-assurance.
But Djokovic engaged the fans in playful banter in addition to deconstructing their misguided goals. This legendary Serbian tennis player finally won the match with an incredible victory in the opening set. It not only silenced the throng but also made it clear who the scene’s greatest ever performer is.
But Djokovic’s contentious relationship with Italian supporters is hardly brand-new. Those who watched the Nitto ATP finals in Turin last year and Djokovic’s encounter versus Sinner in Monaco would be able to relate to this scenario.
When faced with an impolite audience during his match against Sinner in the ATP finals last year, Novak Djokovic became snarky.
In the same scenario, the top-ranked ATP player in the world, Djokovic, played Sinner in the second round of the Nitto ATP finals in Turin. To undermine the Serb’s self-confidence, the stadium audience began jeering at him. Conversely, Djokovic maintained his composure and continued to tease the audience with conductor-like hand motions. Djokovic simply had a wonderful sense of humor and played along with the audience without losing his confidence.
Such incidents repeatedly occurring at the Monte Carlo Masters demonstrate how committed Italian supporters are to seeing their stars defeat Djokovic. But the legendary Serbian tennis player is just as adept at maintaining composure and using his abilities to respond appropriately to the trolls.
