Nick Kyrgios and Andy Murray are in the Australian Open 2nd round and both had to cope with a rather uncharacteristic situation.
It’s well-known that soccer sensation Cristiano Ronaldo is used to jumping into a mid-air pirouette before shouting “siuu” after scoring a goal. For some reason, the local fans decided to imitate Ronaldo, and that sounded like they were booing the players.
Whenever ronaldo scores he runs to the corner does his trademark celebration while screaming siuu and the crowd joins. Its become popular and eveyone says siuu in celebration. pic.twitter.com/dC2JoOEUTn

Andy Murray commented:
“Initially, I thought it was [jeering], because there were some people booing during my practice yesterday. I have no idea what for, so originally, that’s what I thought it was.
But then after a few times, it was like, no, they’re doing that; I think it’s like ‘siuu’ or something that Ronaldo does when he scores. And, yeah, it was incredibly irritating.”
Nick Kyrgios wasn’t also impressed to add:
“Yeah, it’s just stupid; I can’t believe they did it so much. They were doing some Ronaldo thing. Ronaldo does it every time he scores.
I thought they were going to do it for like 10 minutes. They did it for two-and-a-half hours, like every point. I don’t know why, I don’t know. It was a zoo out there.”
Cristiano Ronaldo 's SIUU is the most Iconic celebration ever.
