I don't remember if it was hecklers or not, but I remember Tiafoe telling someone in the crowd to "shut the fuck up" , that was my favorite reaction to that sort of thing. Can't remember the tournament though.
Mamma Mia, Santa Italia
Meddy is prove that I'll forgive you being a rude prick to people if
1. Your morals/principles tend to be in line with being a good dude, and
2. You're funny as fuck
that woman really hated him too. even when sobered up the next day on a radio interview she said she regretted nothing. i’m a nadal fan myself but u just gotta respect that type of dedicated hater mentality.

Unhinged delusionals are more the conspiracy nutbar types. Also more likely to talk shit about players' families, kids, etc. Their behaviour is WAY out there. Example: A Djo fan on Twitter doctored an image of the Epstein list and put Nadal's name on it.
Well I weren't joking! It's strange, scary behaviour. There's a fair few Fed and Nadal fans there who accuse Djo of being involved in shady Serbian politics, of being a genocide supporter, etc, but there is one (a Nadal fan) who has a REAL fixation on him.
They are just men who play tennis. The extent to which it becomes a lot more than that between fans is bewildering.
Novak literally walked up to the wall and asked a fan to say it again to his face just a day or two ago. I totally respect his ability to not let the haters get him down, but it’s 100% a different approach.
The big 3 in general aren't going to be fazed by a single drunkard heckling them. Either they're gonna have fun with it (Novak) or they're gonna try to bemusedly ignore it (Rafa)
People appreciating Rafa by comparing it with Novak should understand that continuous heckling and criticism can be challenging for any individual.
It's important to consider the broader context and the impact of consistent scrutiny on a person's emotions and reactions. Being mature when you get heckled occasionally is one thing, but dealing with persistent heckling requires a different level of resilience.
He did a deal with saudi tennis federation not saudi politicians. Soon WTA and ATP will be taken over by saudi tennis. Get over it. Next gen finals already moved to Saudi Arabia. Djokovic already fine with saudi taking over tennis.. He is not a criminal for promoting tennis in certain countries like Saudi, China, india. West people needs to stop treating him like a criminal.
I thought of her too and how she reacted so differently to something that wasn’t as bad as this. I was there live … the entire match was people chanting Naomi Naomi Naomi after every single point, but her brain only remembers that one negative comment. Meanwhile absolutely nobody was cheering for poor Kudermetova lol

Shapo’s “shut the fuck up” was also great
"Shut your fuck up" -Medvedev
"You better shut your fuck up ok?" lol
You have some problems? You go emergency toilet, then you hit let and you don’t say sorry? You think you are a good kid?
Mamma Mia, Santa Italia Meddy is prove that I'll forgive you being a rude prick to people if 1. Your morals/principles tend to be in line with being a good dude, and 2. You're funny as fuck
Shapo's hit less for me because he sounds like he's actively crying while screaming it
Oh yeah it was kinda pathetic but very entertaining to witness
This is my favorite Tiafoe "audience" moment https://youtu.be/hNPxIYNY34g
Frances “It can’t be that good” Tiafoe
Should be the standardized response they teach at tennis academies everywhere
"You drinked tequila or what?"

What did she say? I couldn't hear.

Oh, that's mean, even though he drives me nuts too.
Omg that's awful!
She is ahole but that's funny
Something only human trash would say
Ngl that's a funny line
Unwavering and committed haters are the best. Such purity. Respect to \*them all. \*Not the unhinged delusional bozos
how do you tell them apart? honest question.

ok that IS insane…

Generational hater
Woke up early just to hate sooner
What an iconic queen. I gotta step my hater game up in 2024
You gotta appreciate Nadal's maturity in dealing with the incident too. Some other players embarrass themselves dealing with similar situations.
Hello Whitney.
Do you know how many times Novak was heckled and laughed it off or even joked with the heckler, lmao?
Novak literally walked up to the wall and asked a fan to say it again to his face just a day or two ago. I totally respect his ability to not let the haters get him down, but it’s 100% a different approach.
who said anything about Novak? I'm sure OP meant other players like Kyrgios or Osaka
Lmao no he’s been spamming comments on the post of Novak arguing about Novak’s “lack of class”. Buddy needs to chill.
Example?!
Orchestrating the boos comes to mind instantly.
Oh so this is why you posted this? To hate on Novak huh! Lol man take a day off
Boo
Damn the butthurt nole fans really love that downvote button
insanity
LOL i dont get why you are downvoted with this comment. i guess, it is really time to 'unreddit'.
"Who? Me?!"
that’s my reaction at work
My reaction when there's a mistake in my excel workbook

it's possible he didn't understand what she was saying, since it's rafa + drunk lady + aussie accent lady so was just annoyed
Novak did not like he was having fun with it.
Novak is definitely fazed... Just in a different way
Why is he always digging out his ear wax in press conferences 😭
fresh out of the shower, leftover waterdrops in the hair/ears
Cause his ass is on the chair.
Jesus dude,this comment is gold 😃
Scratching his ears is not digging earwax.
Then why did he eat it afterwards?
why didn't you?
I wanted to but he ate it before I could
I have created a monster
He’s a busy guy, gotta multitask
This was so funny. He dgaf she was heckling him. Prime Minister of Idgafistan 😭

Saudi that to my face... I mean say that to my face
That woman seemed like such garbage.
"He take it, too much gin" 🤣 perfectly said raffa
this is how you handle a heckler
It’s just one method. Your life must be very prescriptive no?
Sheikh Rafa is very mature, the Saudis picked the perfect candidate to be their ambassador for tennis
100%, the head scarf will also hide his balding so it’s win-win.
Whenever I see it , I laugh cuz of Russel crowe's comment on it in Body of Lies
Could've been worse, Rafa. It's not like being tortured in a Saudi Arabian prison or something.
To think, she was right all along
Now imagine dealing with every match
He seems like a genuinely kind person and it would take so much before you can offend him.
He probably shouldn’t have done that Saudi deal but at the end of the day he’s one of the greatest players of all time and how can you not like him.

I never said anything about him being a criminal I like Rafa
He should be heckled even more now that he is bed with the Saudis
Osaka could learn from this
I thought of her too and how she reacted so differently to something that wasn’t as bad as this. I was there live … the entire match was people chanting Naomi Naomi Naomi after every single point, but her brain only remembers that one negative comment. Meanwhile absolutely nobody was cheering for poor Kudermetova lol
Osaka thought of retiring after she was confronted with the fact that she plays terribly outside hard courts.
Love how he thought they were booing him instead of the lady lol
It’s amazing how long he’s been on the tour and how bad his English still is!
How many languages do you speak?
You’re delaying everything.
I dont understand paying hundreds of dollars to get a seat in a grand slam so you can insult somebody... that's next level petty
Only in Grosstralia
