Sports fans are having a tough time accepting the fact that Australia treated a legend in the world of sports with so much disrespect.
The country was bashed as an absolute disgrace for booing the sight of Novak Djokovic as he arrived at the Rod Laver Arena players’ tunnel.
The star was chased by so many boos that even took him by shock and surprise. This was the point where many felt they had crossed the line as he did nothing to deserve such harsh criticism.
The tennis world is now blasting the behavior shown by fans in the country at Melbourne Park after the 10-time Australian Open champ retired hurt 84 minutes into the semi-final against Alexander Zverev on Friday.
The Serbian star had shown a glimpse of the brilliance he had before losing the first set in a tiebreak. This marked the sudden retirement all the more shocking for spectators who paid $800 to watch one set of tennis.
When certain parts of the crowd decided this was the best moment to boo, he waved a farewell to the crowd, and one other tennis legend was shocked at the disgraceful behavior of fans. ‘This man is a legend, he won 10 times. For Goodness sake, have some respect!’- he concluded.
