It was obvious to anyone watching the men's final at Wimbledon on Sunday that the crowd leaned heavily on eight-time champion Roger Federer over his opponent Novak Djokovic.
The New York Times summarized the reaction of the crowd: when Federer made a mistake, there were moans; when Djokovic made a mistake, there was applause.
Despite everything, the rumors have attracted the attention of many social media. A Bloomberg reporter tweeted, "I understand that this is a pro-Federer crowd, but Djokovic's boos at Wimbledon were unmerited and pathetic."

Djokovic revealed a mental tour de force, according to the Times. After winning the match, after nearly five hours, he told reporters that when the crowd chanted "Roger! Roger, he said he heard "Novak".
"It sounds silly, but it's like that. I try to convince myself that it's like that.
The sets were 7-6 (5), 1-6, 7-6 (4), 4-6 and 13-12 (3). The final lasted nearly five hours, more than any other final at Wimbledon. Djokovic has now won Wimbledon five times.
