Novak Djokovic, scandal during the failure in Rome: “What’s with all the drama?”

Novak Djokovic started a real “war” with Mohamed Lahyani, who warned him for exceeding the time limit between points.

Mohamed Lahyani tried to defend himself, telling Djokovic that he announces the score in two languages: English, but also Italian, given that the 1000 tournament is in Rome.

“What’s with all the drama? Do you play theater or what? For God’s sake,” Djokovic burst out in front of a packed arena.

Novak Djokovic didn’t have a good day in Rome at all! In addition to the scandal with the referee, the Serbian also had to face the rain, which visibly confused him.

In addition, Rune clearly won the deciding set, having managed to take the first “act” as well. Thus, the Dane qualified for the semifinals in Rome and became the first player since Rafael Nadal to beat Djokovic twice in a row.

In the end, Djokovic was fair play and had the strength to congratulate Rune, who reached the 20-year-old’s third career Masters 1000 tournament semi-final.

After winning the first match at the tournament in Rome, 7-6(5), 6-2 against Tomas Etcheverry (Argentina, 61 ATP), Djokovic sent an emotional message to families of the victims killed in the elementary school in Belgrade.

“Saint Basil of Ostrog, pray to God for us. Primary school ‘Ribnikar’. Deepest condolences to all those affected by the tragedy”Novak Djokovic wrote on camera.
