“They Are Unanimously Roger Fans”: Denis Kudla Reveals Why Novak Djokovic Gets Booed

The 19-time Grand Slam champions third-round opponent, Denis Kudla revealed the reason for it and stated, “Everyone respects what he does, but I think there are unanimously Roger fans in this world. I think they just maybe want him to keep that record. That’s probably one reason they cheer against him.”
