The Serbian star was involved in a moment of controversy during his second round win over Roberto Carballes Baena - a day afterwas briefly jeered by those in attendance at Roland Garros early on in his 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 victory on Thursday following an altercation with a spectator.
In the first set when he was 5-4 ahead against his Spanish opponent, Djokovic complained to chair umpire Nico Helwerth that he had been heckled by a fan as he chased a drop shot.Coco Gauff became so emotional at the French Open she couldn't hold back tears“I mean, when Carballes Baena made a drop-shot and as I was running, he was there in the first row – and he started from the beginning of the match.
“He went on several times, which was fine, he was supporting my opponent, but I thought that this was a bit of a hindrance as he was so close and then, you know, as I was about to hit the ball, he was shouting.“So that’s what I asked the chair umpire, but he explained that he cannot call that a hindrance. That’s it. Very simple."I have been having some love affairs with the fans here – and also some tough matches, some tough seasons. I have experienced both sides.
“Obviously you always want to be the one that they support or at least have kind of a neutral atmosphere on the court, but it’s not possible always for that to happen.”
