Novak Djokovic is one of the most legendary figures in the game of tennis and has been giving some consistent performances throughout his career. Wimbledon is one of those tournaments where he has had a great record winning seven titles and presently appearing for the 19th time in this tournament. This has been another great tournament for the former World number one as well.
Novak Djokovic might not be as fit as he has been in his entire career but has still managed to make it to his 15th Quarter-final match beating Holger Rune in three straight sets. The 24-time Grand Slam champion made sure he was ahead of the game at all times beating the Danish with scores of 6-3, 6-4 and 6-2. This was another one-sided game where Rune once again failed to make a comeback under pressure.
There is no doubt that Djokovic is one of the living legends of the game and is also part of the Big Three, but we also have to remember that he is perhaps one of the most hated players in the game as well. The Serbian in this encounter might have been cheered by some fans but was also booed by some who wanted Holger Rune to win this game. Djokovic after the win had the perfect reply to all of them in the post-match interview where he appreciated the fans who showed him love, but had a statement ready for the haters saying, "To all the people who chose to disrespect the player, in this case me, have a ‘GOOOOD’ night.”

This shows that the 24-time Grand Slam winner knows how to handle his haters and his fans together by replying to them with respect. This is the passionate and unique nature of Djokernole which we have seen throughout his entire career, where he will still continue to go about his business despite the negative reception.
