Asked why he had sarcastically clapped his racquet when the crowd at London&rsquo;s O2 Arena cheered after he was broken by Nishikori early in the second set of his 6-1, 3-6, 6-0 victory, Djokovic claimed he had been taunted by some individuals in the sold-out 17,500 stadium.
The World No gave only a cursory wave to the fans at the end of the match and broke the tennis custom of signing his name on a television camera, instead marking the screen with only a dot. Djokovic explained his grumpy behaviour by saying he feared he might have lost the match because of the incident as it affected his concentration.
&ldquo;There were some individuals that were going over the line throughout the whole match, some provocations that I usually don&rsquo;t react on, but I did. It was my fault,&rdquo; Djokovic said.
