During his on-court interview, Zverev chastised those who booed Djokovic. 'I know that everybody paid for tickets and everybody wants to see hopefully a great five-set match,' Zverev said. 'But you’ve got to understand — Novak Djokovic is somebody that has given this sport, for the past 20 years, absolutely everything of his life.' Djokovic had been hurt late in the first set of his previous match, a four-set victory against Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals on Tuesday night.
did everything I possibly can to basically manage the muscle tear that I had,' Djokovic said at his news conference Friday. 'Towards the end of that first set, I just started feeling more and more pain,' he said. 'It was too much, I guess, to handle for me at the moment. Unfortunate ending, but I tried.'
