Novak Djokovic a du caractère. Ce n'est pas un scoop mais à 37 ans, il continue de le démontrer. Malgré sa blessure au genou et son opération, le Serbe atteint les quarts de finale de Wimbledon pour la 15e fois de sa carrière après sa victoire sur Holger Rune mardi soir (6-3, 6-4, 6-2). Mais tout n'était pas parfait pour le numéro 2 mondial, qui a réglé ses comptes avec le public après la rencontre. Il reproche des huées régulières durant toute la partie, qui ne lui ont visiblement pas empêché de briller sur le court.
