Novak Djokovic hits back at fans who were booing him 

While Djokovic has proven to be a once-in-a-lifetime legend of the game, there is a part of his gameplay that does not get the approval of the fans. The 36-year-old has had innumerable instances of bursting out anger on the court and in his career he has had many cases when he embroiled with the fans. As it was once said by his former coach Boris Becker that Djokovic spoils the party in the world which is divided over Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal and hence never gets the same love from the fans. 

Djokovic however gives it back to the fans whenever he's at the end of their jeers. On Friday, something similar of the sort took place when he won a point. He brought his animated side and made naysayers more furious with his conduct. Watch what Djoker did on the Centre Court.

While some enjoy the antics of the 23-time Grand Winner, some remain rather unimpressed.

You can love him or loathe him but cannot ignore what he has achieved with his dedication to the sport. Djokivic has already left his biggest rivals Federer and Nadal behind in the tally of Grand Slams, and who knows at what mark he will call it a career.
