Right from the start of the tournament, fans have displayed passion way beyond what’s needed and players had to bear the brunt of it. Even in Madrid a couple of weeks ago, Danielle Collins was met with hecklers who constantly interrupted during the course of her match against Aryna Sabalenka.Best porn XXX. The same pattern is being seen here in Rome. Few hours ago, Sebastian Korda also faced the wrath of aggressive fans during his match against Flavio Cobolli. Korda managed to win the match despite the hostility and now an even violent situation happened at the Center Court. This time, the victim was none other than world no.1 Novak Djokovic. Djokovic, who skipped Madrid to play Rome, faced the Frenchman Corentin Moutet in his second-round and barring the initial hiccups, the Serbian star managed to dominate Moutet in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1. With Corentin on the other side of the net, fans usually expect drama to unfold but the Frenchman didn’t create any fuss.
