Novak Djokovic defeated Carlos Alcaraz on Friday in the French Open semifinal after the Spanish player succumbed to cramps. Unfortunately, Novak was booed again by the French crowd after the match. During the press conference that followed the semifinal, a reporter asked Novak to comment about his feelings about being booed.
His reply was just great: “I don’t mind (smiling). It’s not the first, probably not the last. I’ll just keep winning.”
