Don't be a whiner.

I wonder if it was Djokovic's anti-vax, and now pro-war sentiments that he holds, that the French fans really disagree with.

Keep your nationalist politics OUT of their Open. Thats why they boo you, Djokevic.

They pay their money to go and watch tennis - NOT Serbian grandstanding.

Djokovic is a hero, both on and off the court, especially in regards to his stance against the jab experiment.

He's a brilliant athlete - but a whiny, obnoxious little jerk. Thats why he is booed.

Not only the booing, this year’s crowd has been quite awful, many players complained. Most of the tennis fans respect the game, but a handful of rowdy idiots don’t know this is not football. And with beer flowing, the worst comes out

He's right to call out their bad behavior. French fans very frustrated, 22 French Men ALL OUT before 3rd round.

But not complicated, 1983 last time Frenchman won RG.

Djoker has unique ability to raise people's blood pressure, combination of smarts, confidence & success. Basically, Elon Musk of Sports! Personally, think it makes game more interesting. Also shares great deal more about beliefs & philosophies - Far More than RF & RN.

Sharing's real contribution & clearly matured & taken mantle of leadership seriously, but he's NOT perfect!

RG, seems Rudd and Rune lower half semis, Djoker has very likely path to semis, likely plays Alcarez but Musetti very dangerous, could upset Carlos next round/16s

What a clown...

Thin-skinned, whiny and not very likable.

Like many conspiracy theorists.

Djokovic's relationship with French Open fans = NOT Good!

The French Open fans also booed the Ukrainian Kostyuk who didn't want to shake Belarusian Sabalenka's hand

Djokovic is a hero, both on and off the court, especially in regards to his stance against the jab experiment.

Refusing being vaccinated do not make him an example to follow, specially when he lied in order to avoid the consequences of his personal decision. People resented much more this than him not being vaccinated in the first place. His worries were also demonstrated baseless without problems.

Never met the guy but respect his effort, training, and accomplishments a smidgeon more than fickle spectators.
