Novak Djokovic returns to Centre Court after blasting “disrespectful” fans at Wimbledon as the seven-time champion faces “honorary Brit” Alex de Minaur in the quarter-finals today.
Djokovic’s reaction to the Wimbledon crowd was the biggest talking point of his straight-sets victory over Holger Rune on Monday night, with the 37-year-old warning the crowd: “You can’t touch me.”
It adds an edge to his match against the Australian De Minaur on Centre Court, with the ninth seed defeating Frenchman Arthur Fils in four sets in his last-16 match.
The 25-year-old looked to pick up an injury on match point, however, even as he played down fears afterwards. The boyfriend of British No 1 Katie Boulter, De Minaur is happy to fly the British flag at Wimbledon.
“Oh, 100%,” he said. “I’ll take all the support I can get. I can be the honorary Brit here at Wimbledon. I’ll take all the support I can get.” Here’s everything you need to know.
