The defending champion at US Open 2019, Novak Djokovic is through the fourth round with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 victory over the home favorite, Denis Kudla. During their match, Djokovic held a 3-1 lead in the opening set and did not allow the American to dominate at any instant of the match.
After holding that undaunted lead in the first set, the Serb was serving at 3-1 (0-15) and Roger Federer fan sitting in the audience shouted in between the point. Following that, Djokovic yelled “shut the f**k up” to the crowd.
The unfriendly gesture from the crowd in the Arthur Ashe Stadium dispirited the Serb and compelled him to screech in the midst of his third-round match.
