We know the world number 1 does not only have friends and his side of popularity is not that of Rafael Nadal in Paris. This results in some never-before-seen footage. This was the case yesterday. Booed because he was obviously celebrating an important point too loudly, Novak added a layer of it to the next point by stepping up a notch, waking up a somewhat “sleepy” stadium, as if to send a message like: this is my home!
This obviously reminded us of the scene of the quarter-final last year against Berrettini who had shaken the west of Paris and in particular the small town of Boulogne Billancourt, capital of tricolor tennis with in particular the Tennis Club de Boulogne and its 4000 members.
