Novak Djokovic confronted the umpire when he thought that she failed to call a let on one of Jannik Sinner’s serves. The world No 1 claimed that Aurelie Tourte heard the let machine beep when he served but not when his opponent did while the Italian crowd booed as Djokovic pleaded his case.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was more drama in an already-fiery contest at the ATP Finals on Tuesday night as Djokovic approached the chair umpire to raise a concern about let calls following a booming serve from Sinner. The world No 4 held serve in the first game of the final set after Djokovic managed to take the second in a tiebreak.<\/p>\n
But the six-time ATP Finals champion believed that the let machine beeped on Sinner’s serve – something that wasn’t called by the umpire. He approached Tourte and argued his case but she replied: “It didn\u2019t beep or I didn\u2019t hear it.” But Djokovic wasn’t happy considering that some of his own serves had been called as a let – including his set point at 6-5 in the tiebreak.<\/p>\n
“Okay, so we are playing tonight this way. Every time he makes a let wide, it\u2019s not a let. Tiebreak set point, I make an ace, you call a let. Everyone heard,” the 24-time Major winner argued. But Tourte didn’t back down, explaining that she wouldn’t call a let unless she heard it herself.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t hear this one. When I hear it, I call it,” Tourte added. Djokovic retreated and continued playing but the boos were already ringing out through the Pala Alpitour – not for the first time on Tuesday night. The top seed was first booed in the opening set when he sarcastically applauded the crowd for cheering his double fault.<\/p>\n Djokovic was 40-0 up at 5-5 in the first set when Sinner managed to get to deuce, and a double fault from the top seed handed his opponent a break point. After he responded to the crowd and they jeered back, the 22-year-old managed to break and served out the set 7-5.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/Djokovic-5066599.jpg?r=1700002766968\")
