Novak Djokovic has always been a polarizing player on, and off, the tennis court. His appearance at this year’s French Open is no different.
In the 24-time major champion’s second round match at Roland-Garros vs. France’s Valentine Royer, the crowd at Court Philippe-Chatrier was heavily rooting against Djokovic. The crowd’s favoritism probably had more to do with the French crowd cheering for one of their own players rather than the crowd specifically hating on Djokovic. But, the audience’s reactions in certain moments of the match definitely set up an intense tone in the stadium.
