In the quarter-final match against Denmark’s Holger Rune, they actively supported their opponent Djokovic. At one point, it even seemed as if they were booing the Serb.
Rune responds to Djokovic, who accused Wimbledon spectators of disrespect
“Djokovic has struggled with that his whole career. He feeds off negative energy, and I feed off it sometimes, too. But in a way, I hated it all. Does anyone want people who yell at them to lose?
There are two of the greatest players we’ve ever seen play tennis. Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer. Who can compare to them in terms of people’s love? Nobody. And this guy, Djokovic, had the nerve to come and break through to the top.
“You have to respect the greatness that you see in front of you,” McEnroe was quoted as saying by the BBC.
