Tennis TV shared a post on social media with a small video featuring Novak Djokovic and the crowd including Max Allegri with a lot of boos as background music.

“Sat in Novak’s box, Juventus manager Max Allegri not going down too well with the Torino crowd,” the caption read.

Juventus is the beloved club of Turin and a part of the city’s heritage. The fans are not pleased with the club’s performance on the field as it is languishing at the third position in the Serie A (top division football league in Italy). They hold Mr. Allegri responsible for the I Bianconeri’s dismal performance this season.

Novak Djokovic was playing in his first Group Stage match against Stefanos Tsitsipas. With this win, the Serb will gain a lot of confidence. He must be feeling lighter as he has to win another match to secure his qualification for the next round.

However, this is not going to be easy. Besides him and Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev are also drawn to his Red Group. The 2021 US Open champion Daniil Medvedev won this title in 2020 and was the finalist in 2021. He will be playing next against the Serbian.

The 2021 Davis Cup winner Andrey Rublev is playing his maiden ATP Finals. He kickstarted his campaign well by defeating fellow Russian Medvedev in his first Group stage match. He too can pose some challenges to the nine-time Australian Open champion.

Meanwhile, Djokovic’s fans are celebrating his victory against the Greek. Here are a few reactions coming in on the post above.
