Novak Djokovic slammed Cameron Norrie's behaviour following their Italian Open match which the Serb won 6-3, 6-4. Early in the second set, Norrie hit Djokovic in the left calf with an overhead smash after his opponent had already turned his back and conceded a point.
Subscribe to Guardian Sport ► bit.ly/GDNSport
Djokovic however pointed to other moments throughout the game where he believed Norrie displayed bad sportsmanship, saying: 'From the very beginning, he was doing all the things that were allowed. He’s allowed to take a medical timeout. He’s allowed to hit a player. He’s allowed to say ‘come on’ in the face more or less every single point from basically first game.'

He walks away with his back turned from the point right into the middle where a smash is most likely to land. Who does that? Also Norrie clearly apologised yet he’s still salty about it.

Djokovic never hits the ball in the opponent. Thats is true. But he is not the perfect example of "fair play" . Overtime in the locker room(wc) when he is losing a game its just 1 example.

@asantesamuel13 8 месяцев назад

Biggest crybaby on tour. He turned his back so he has no argument about being upset about being hit by the ball. You weren’t even looking at him when he hit it, and he was focused on the smash, so there’s no argument. Norrie hit it down the center of the court, which is where Djokovic was standing with his back turned. You aren’t even supposed to give up on the point before it is over, that’s against the rules because it is very distracting and you also effectively are conceding the point by stopping playing. For him to get upset is absurd and cowardly. But this is typical Djokovic behavior. He’s a little boy who never made it past 11 developmentally.

@fang.clarkec7584 Год назад

My personal perspective, this is what you say “ you can try all the cheat tactics you want - Norris, but I won’t complain if helps you to win but at the end of the day I only played to maybe 60% of my best tennis and you didn’t come close. Sorry Norrie. Keep trying “. That’s it.
