Novak Djokovic Booed By Australian Open Crowd After Walkover. Alexander Zverev Says 'Everyone Paid...'

Novak Djokovic was booed by a section of the crowd at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne after he retired mid-match due to injury during the semi-final encounter against Alexander Zverev on Friday. Djokovic's upper left leg was again heavily tape after he was injured during the quarter-final match against Carlos Alcaraz and he decided to retire hurt after losing the first set 7-6. It was an intense run of play as Novak had to endure long rallies against his younger opponent. However, just after losing the set, he shook Zverev's hand and walked out of the court as the crowd booed him for the decision.

Wow. Novak Djokovic being booed by some in the crowd after retiring in the second set vs Zverev
