Novak Djokovic he committed a double fault after being disturbed by a small group of spectators. This led to the loss of the ‘tiebreak’ of the second set against the French Enzo Couacaud.
The night was difficult for the nine-time champion, as he found himself in trouble against 191 in the world. In addition, he continues to monitor the evolution of the hamstring injury in the left thigh. He sought medical help in that second sleeve.
He breathed sportily, but there was no peace of mind for the Serb. Down 6-1, 6-7, 6-2, 2-0, in the third game of the fourth set, he couldn’t handle the rowdy little group of fans any longer.
He pointed directly at a bystander. He’s with the chair umpire asking for that annoying fan to be sent off. “You know who he is. He’s drunk as hell. He’s been teasing me all night.”
The referee’s response that he came to watch tennis, angered ‘Nole’: “You’ve heard it ten times, I’ve heard it fifty times. . He wants to get me out of my mind”.

Fans are easy to spot, wearing ‘Where’s Wally?’ T-shirt and hat. “Why didn’t you call security and have them kick him out of the stadium?” Djokovic insisted. Yes, an agent spoke to the right fan. And then he and his companions were kicked out of the stadium.
He recalled the incident at Wimbledon in 2022 with the Australian Nick Kyrgios, who ejected a woman from the stands, after informing the referee that “she’s drunk, she’s crazy”.
The woman took the case to court, and Kyrgios apologized and donated 20,000 pounds to a charity, acknowledging that he had mistakenly considered the lady to be drunk.
