Novak Djokovic has accused Wimbledon fans of ‘disrespect’ after claiming he was booed during his commanding win over Holger Rune on Monday.

The 37-year-old Serbian, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, was seen pursing his lips towards the Centre Court crowd after clinching a tight second set against the 21-year-old Danish player. Djokovic ultimately secured a straight-sets victory, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2, to advance to the quarter-finals.

Following his win, Djokovic gave a pointed courtside interview: “To all the fans that have respect and stayed here late tonight, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart - I appreciate it,” he said.
