Novak Djokovic accused Cameron Norrie of ‘lacking fair play’ after a tempestuous clash at the Italian Open.
Djokovic, who was recently usurped as world number one by Carlos Alcaraz, booked his place in the last eight in Rome, beating Norrie in straight sets, 6-3 6-4. But there was plenty of drama on the court with the Serb taking umbrage at some of his opponent’s tactics throughout the match.
Djokovic came out in fine form, quickly taking the first set and going up a break in the second. However, Norrie immediately broke back, where the major flashpoint of the match occurred.
