Novak Djokovic Threatens Fan, Says- “I’ll Find You!”

Novak Djokovic, who was supposed to be practicing for his match against Denis Kudla in the third round of the US Open 2019, got himself tangled with an unknown fan during his warm-up session. The world number one was seen in a video captured by a fan, practicing his serve, when he stops mid motion to affront someone in the group of watchers behind him.

Apparently, the fan said something that bothered Novak Djokovic, which forced Djokovic to look back and engage himself in an unnecessary conversation.

However, it was the reaction from Novak Djokovic that was shocking in some ways. The defending champion was heard threatening the fan and saying, “I’ll find you after the match…. Trust me, I’ll come find you..!”

The fan was later escorted from the ground, by security personnel. However, Novak Djokovic, was not done as he continued to pursue him, while he was being ushered away and was seen asking for a photograph of the person for future reference, as he finally returned to practice.

It is still unclear what provocation caused the shocking reaction from Novak Djokovic. Djokovic had delayed his pre-match warm up by 3 hours and there was a big doubt over his fitness for the match against Kudla, after injury concerns on his left shooulder. However, despite the delay and the shortened practice session, Novak Djokovic was in impeccable form against the American, and looked to have put the event in the back of his head.

However, the threatening reaction from Novak Djokovic, was not taken in good light by many tennis fans on twitter, who hit back at the world number one for his cold behavior. Many fans even compared his actions to Nick Kyrgios, and called for equal treatment, when it comes to scrutinizing questionable behaviors. It would be interesting, to find out what prompted Novak Djokovic to behave the way he did in front of all his fans and supporters.
