“Kosovo is the heart of Serbia”, Djokovic is roared by the French public
Novak Djokovic is more and more hated by the public. There has never been “love” between him and the crowd, but this time at Roland Garros, the hatred towards the Serbian racket has increased due to the political gesture at the end of a match where he wrote on camera that “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia”.
During the challenge of the fourth round against Davidovich Fokina, in the 36th minute he was booed for a long time by the fans present in the main field of the French Open. Novak’s behavior on the field of play is never sportsmanlike and this has made the public hate him more and more while at the end of the match he said:
“Most of the people come to watch the matches and enjoy the tennis, but unfortunately there is also a small part who make such gestures. There are people who boo everything he does and that’s their right because they pay the ticket to come to the stadium. However, I consider it rude on their part and I can’t understand why they do it.”
Djokovic’s message about Kosovo has not been punished by the organizers, while the French Minister of Sports called the message inappropriate, asking him not to include politics in Roland Garros.
