Novak Djokovic told Great Britain’s supporters to respect players.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tennis legend Novak Djokovic told British fans to “shut up” and show “respect” players after leading Serbia to victory in the Davis Cup quarter-final match in Malaga. A clip of Djokovic’s outburst has gone viral on social media. A crowd of 5,000 people, supporting Great Britain, watched the match on Thursday and Djokovic responded to their cheers by cupping his ears and blowing kisses to them. The 36-year-old appeared disturbed when fans made noise between his first and second serves.<\/p>\n

He sealed 6-4 6-4 victory over Cameron Norrie and was giving an on-court interview when some fans of Great Britain began drumming.<\/p>\n

Djokovic snapped and told them, “Learn how to respect players, learn how to behave yourself,” before adding, “No, you shut up, you be quiet.”<\/p>\n

The 24-time grand slam champion said the atmosphere was “normal” for a Davis Cup tie, but added some fans tried to drown out his victory speech with drums, which the superstar said he felt he had to respond to.<\/p>\n

“The entire match pretty much, there was disrespect but it’s something I have to be prepared for in the Davis Cup,” Djokovic told reporters when asked about the outburst.<\/p>\n

“It’s normal that fans step over the line and in the heat of the moment you react too and in a way show that you don’t allow this kind of behaviour. They can do whatever they want but I’m going to respond to that,” he added.<\/p>\n

Lean Smith, captain of Great Britain, did not criticise the team’s fans and said the atmosphere they created was “one of the good things about the Davis Cup”.<\/p>\n

“Whether there is a bit that goes over, comments, I could hear a couple – I don’t think it’s that bad,” Smith said. “I would hate to see it quietening down, because there’s enough quiet tennis as it is,” he added.<\/p>\n

Djokovic’s victory pits him on a collision course with Italy’s Jannik Sinner, whom he beat on Sunday in the ATP Finals to clinch his seventh title of the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
