Former world number one Novak Djokovic is “frustrated.” Despite taking a dig at disrespectful attendees of his match against Holger Rune, Djokovic seemed attentive to people who admire him. Showing his strong personality again in public, Djokovic slammed one of his major partners as they failed to keep up with his reputation.
Djokovic has spoken about his dissatisfaction with his sponsor Lacoste. After defeating Rune at Wimbledon’s R0und of 16, Djokovic took a dig at his long-term sponsor Lacoste. Partnering with this brand since 2017 after Uniqlo, Djokovic expressed certain disappointment with the company. “I’ve had dissatisfaction & frustration because many people looking for my products don’t have the possibility to find them in my sponsor’s stores. Some things are changing for the better now, but I am still not satisfied”- he said.
