Novak Djokovic hits back at Australian Open hecklers after 'kiss my a**' response Novak Djokovic has praised Danielle Collins for her controversial response to hecklers at the Australian Open.
After winning she gestured to the crowd to kiss her behind and said in her post-match press conference: “Every person that's bought a ticket to come out here and heckle me or do what they do, it's all going towards the Danielle Collins Fund.”.
Her behaviour proved divisive on social media, but 10-time Australian Open champion Djokovic was clear in his response after brushing aside Tomas Machac in straight sets.
I loved it, everything she said on the court, off the court,” Djokovic said.
Collins went viral after her eye-catching interactions with the rowdy crowd at Melbourne Park during her 7-6 4-6 6-2 victory over qualifier Destanee Aiava.
