Playing his second match of the tournament, Novak Djokovic faced home favorite Alex Popyrin. It was pretty evident that Alex would have received all the support that he could from the fans.

“When he was heckling you Novak, I said to the commentary box and everybody worldwide I was like ‘If you want me to jump in the crowd and sort him out, I’ll do it for you bro’. “I’ve got your back, 100 per cent,” said Kyrgios.

Thus, Novak Djokovic did not have the best of encounters at the Australian Open so far. Coming into the tournament as a hot favorite, he could not withstand the hatred that pulled at him during his match against the home favorite.
