Novak Djokovic continued his run at Wimbledon on Monday when he defeated No. 15 Holger Rune in the Round of 16 on Center Court. 

However, Djokovic made things quite awkward after the match when he called out the fans in the stands, saying they were "disrespectful" throughout the match. 

Rune, a 21-year-old Danish tennis star, was receiving love from fans throughout the match, with many seemingly chanting "Rune!" when he scored.

However, there was not much scoring from him, as Djokovic made quick work of him, finishing the match in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. 

The awkwardness came when Djokovic believed fans were booing him while saying his opponent’s last name. 

"To all the fans that have respect and that stayed here tonight: Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate it. And to all those people that have chosen to disrespect the player, in this case, me," Djokovic said.
