Novak Djokovic wasn’t too happy with a section of the crowd on Rod Laver Arena on Friday and took that opportunity to applaud American Danielle Collins, who waded into the Australian crowd, after her second-round match.
“I understand you have a few drinks more, and then you get into it,” Djokovic said of spectators during his third-round match on Friday night. “If it's repetitive, it happens for an hour, somebody telling you things that you don't want to hear, constant provoking, it comes to the point where you just respond.”
