Djokovic called out Norrie following their fourth-round match at the Italian Open after Norrie hit the 22-time Grand Slam champion in the leg with a tennis ball after Djokovic had already conceded the point. 

NOVAK DJOKOVIC CALLS OUT ITALIAN OPEN OPPONENT OVER LACK OF SPORTSMANSHIP AFTER GETTING HIT BY BALL

After advancing to the quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-4 win, Djokovic addressed his frustrations during a post-match presser where he admitted that it would be possible to argue the hit wasn’t deliberate, but it was a combination of incidents during that match that he considered not to be "fair play." 

"It was not so much maybe about that, but it was a combination of things. From the very beginning, I don’t know – he was doing all the things that were allowed. He’s allowed to take a medical timeout. He’s allowed to hit a player. He’s allowed to say, ‘Come on,’ in the face more or less every single point from basically the first game," Djokovic said.

"Those are the things that we players know in the locker room it’s not fair play, it’s not how we treat each other, but again it’s allowed."
