It all started when Djokovic hit a double fault on a break point in his match today at the Rolex Paris Masters tournament. As soon as he did that, the crowd started booing him. Due to this he certainly felt cornered and targeted. But that did not make him lose confidence. In fact, it did just the opposite.

Djokovic responded to the crowd by applauding them and asking them to get louder and boo him even more. But that was not it. After he did that and the crowd booed him for the fault, he made sure to not lose a point without dropping another point. He made sure that he closed the match without any fault, and even so, won 8 more points after boohooing.
