Tennis is a sport that is famous for showcasing gentleman-like behavior from both players and fans. However, there are times when the decorum of the sport gets ruptured. The latest of such unfortunate incidents happened in this season’s Wimbledon Championships quarterfinal between Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner.
While in a high-pressure match such as this, the spectators usually support players by not creating a ruckus. However, there are some in the court who either can’t control their excitement or voluntarily try to distract the players. In this case, it was the latter.

JiDion Adams, the American YouTuber, attended the highly anticipated quarterfinals with no intention of toning down his notorious instincts. Though Djokovic came out victorious in the match, he was clearly rooting for the Italian young blood.
Therefore, when Sinner scored a point, JiDion cheered along with the crowd. But unlike the others, he was using an air horn and was pounding his chest repeatedly.
