    Poor call from the umpire.

    I just can't understand why he always has to behave like this just because the crowd is cheering for the underdog. He doesn't do himself any favours.

    He's played Davis Cup- I'm sure he's played in front of worse.

    Exactly. And it affects his play. He's clearly rattled now when he was cruising.

    Tsonga will win this in 5. Djokovic is going out. Murrays year!

    The thing is- the more he carries on behaving like it- the more the crowd are going to cheer Jo. He's not helping himself.

    That's why I can't warm to him when he acts so childishly like this.

    Djoko not endearing himself to the crowd with that fist pumping. I agree with John Lloyd that Djokos sarcastic claps and fist pumping to the crowd is unnecessary.

    :o What else is new? He gets booed everywhere LOL!!!

    I don't mind fist pumping so much but thought his sarcastic clapping at the end of the French Open final was in poor taste. He was gracious about it in the press conference afterwards though and didn't blame the audience.

    Of course the crowd are going to encourage more tennis. Put up or shut up... or you know just do a Masha style "allez up your f*cking ass!" :kitty::D

    He did that in this match as well.

    LOL!!! Not surprising.

    He's hated at every single tournament.

    if he's not fully supported and he loses he blames the crowd. :D

    He has to be the centre of attention. As I've always said, he will never ever be loved as much as Rafa and Fed are, no matter how much he tries. Worst no. 1 the ATP had in terms of being loved by the crowd.

    I loved that, proper made me laugh.

    Djoko doesn't look happy for sure, not like he is in a fight but more like he is just plain annoyed.

    I think Lendl may have won that prize.

    I fear for Tsonga in a tie break. He needs to hold and then break; it's his only real chance.

    I knew there's a reason why I never watch Murray play esp when BBC covers it,

    Just caught the news and showed Murray jumping and throwing fists & howling with his big mouth wide open .....it's bloody 3rd round not Championship Match FFS!!!!>:(

    :o You're a Serena fan right? She does it in the 1st round. At least he doesn't cry in the middle of a match :p

    Has Rafa been on Court 1 yet? Is he the only one of the big 4 who hasn't?

    Edit: Aw Shappy beat me to it!
