The 37-year-old defeated Holger Rune in straight sets on Monday evening, but shortly after putting his opponent away, took the on-court microphone to complain that the supporters were jeering him.
He wished them a "goooooood night" mimicking the chants in support of his opponent, which the Serb felt were a direct slight at him, with the media from his homeland similarly furious at those fueling Djokovic's anger.
Finally, what we've all been wishing for for years happened - Novak Djokovic lashed out at the rude audience and brought them to the ground," the article began.
"Countless times, Nole experienced being booed for no reason, insulted, belittled, lied about and each time he tried to 'drop the ball' by giving some neutral comment so that the audience (God forbid) would not get upset. Now Novak decided not to remain silent, and the final straw was that his children were forced to listen to whistles directed at their father, who did not deserve such a thing."
