But, regardless of how you feel about him or what you think about him bowing out, nobody — not even Novak Djokovic — deserves to be booed for being injured. You don’t have to like him. You can absolutely root against him. You can boo him when he’s healthy.

Djokovic, who retired due to injury after the first set, was booed by the crowd as he walked off Rod Laver Arena.

Novak Djokovic retired injured after losing the opening set of his clash with Alexander Zverev on Friday, sending the German to a first Australian Open final where he will take on defending champion Jannik Sinner for a maiden Grand Slam title.
