With the Serbian about to serve, there was disruption from the spectator, who was a feminine, once more. Meanwhile, the chair umpire addressed her, stating, “Madame, madame.”

Then the safety spoke to a person, and eliminated him. TNT Sports commentator Nick Mullins stated, “Well I’m not entirely sure what started this but all of a sudden there’s security guards around and a gentleman is being led out. His evening looks like it’s over.”

Meanwhile, Jim Courier joked, “He wasn’t a seat filler like they have at the Oscars?”

Speaking after the defeat, Zverev stated, “I think at the moment he’s a bit underrated, to be honest.”

“Funny that you say that, but I think like a lot of people count him out already, but this year he’s had wins over Carlos at the Australian Open, he has had a win over me at the French Open. Forget the age. I think for any player, those are pretty good results.”

Further praising Djokovic, he added, “He’s still beating the best of the best. So I think everybody needs to respect that.”

“He’s won 24 of these things. I think, yes, I expected him to be able to play like this. I have not seen him play like this this year yet. I think it was very, very high level from him. It was at some point difficult for me. I mean, in the first set when the sun was not completely down, there was still some heat on the court. I could still, I felt like, hit some winners and do some damage with my serve. Then later on when it got really, really cold, I couldn’t really do much.”
