Djokovic continues to stir controversy by criticizing French Open fans

After creating controversy by writing on the TV camera lens with the words "Kosovo is the heart of Serbia. Stop the violence" that has not yet "settled down", former world No. 1 Djokovic continued to cause more trouble for himself by criticizing the audience at the French Open in the third round match against Fokina (Spain, world No. 4).

Djokovic did not receive support from the audience in France

In a tense afternoon of action, Djokovic angered fans when he took a medical leave to treat a left thigh injury at the end of the second set on Court Philippe Chatrier. When play resumed, Djokovic responded with a round of applause and a sarcastic thumbs-up. The Serb continued to receive boos for the remainder of the match.

Former world number 1 Djokovic says he was 'disrespected'

However, the tournament's top candidate Djokovic still beat Fokina 3-0 (7/6, 7/6, 6/2) and will meet Juan Pablo Varillas (Peru, world No. 94) in the fourth round. Speaking after the match, the 36-year-old Serbian said: "It's something I find disrespectful and, to be honest, I don't understand it. But it's their right. They paid for the ticket. They can do whatever they want."

Alcaraz is still playing at a very high level.

Also in the third round, world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz (Spain) proved his strength when he defeated Canadian No. 26 seed Denis Shapovalov 3-0 (6/1, 6/4, 6/2) on Court Philippe Chatrier. Alcaraz's next opponent will be Italian No. 17 seed Lorenzo Musetti. However, No. 7 seed Andrey Rublev (Russia) unexpectedly lost to Lorenzo Sonego (Italy, world No. 48) 2-3.
