Novak Djokovic slammed for 'terrible behavior' towards ball boy at Wimbledon

"Yeah, just tough, tough a few points. He played amazing to break my serve, which was enough to win the fifth.

"The first was the timeout, so yeah. It's not a big moment yet, but you just have to accept it."

When asked later if he regretted the incident, Djokovic replied: "It was a frustration at the time.

"I replied to your colleague two minutes ago about this. There is not much to say about it."

Djokovic missed the chance to win a 24th Grand Slam singles title. There remains one behind Margaret Court as the most successful male or female player in the Open Era.
