The world No 1 suffered defeat at the hands of home favourite Jannik Sinner at the ATP Finals and the crowd were certainly not on his side.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic confirmed he would end the year on top of the world rankings with victory in his tournament opener against Holger Rune on Sunday. But the 24-time Grand Slam champion wasn&#8217;t to have it his own way against Sinner.<\/p>\n<p>Italian Sinner was always going to have the crowd on his side and his name was chanted from the moment he stepped on court. Djokovic wasn&#8217;t too happy though when they cheered a double fault of his during the first set.<\/p>\n<p>The 36-year-old handed Sinner a break point with the mistake and sarcastically clapped the crowd for their celebratory reaction. But the fans hit back by booing and whistling Djokovic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive tennis news<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>ATP Finals crowd boo Fritz as injured star fills in after Tsitsipas retirement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/Novak-Djokovic-ATP-Finals-Tim-Henman-5067729.jpg?r=1700058417416\"><\/p>\n<p>He was later seen orchestrating the crowd in a jovial manner while sitting in his chair between matches. Djokovic has often been distracted by negativity from the crowd during his illustrious career but Henman noted that the Serb&#8217;s persona was a lot different to usual on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>He said on Amazon Prime Video: &#8220;Sometimes when Djokovic starts taking on a crowd it is with much more animosity than he showed here. Here, he looked like he was enjoying it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe it is a reflection of him ending the year as world No 1 whatever. He was the conductor. Trying to orchestrate the crowd. It seemed he was in good spirits, but he will be disappointed to lose this match.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Novak Djokovic pulls umpire into sarcastic row as Jannik Sinner tie heats up[ACTION] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Boris Becker makes harsh comment about Holger Rune after Novak Djokovic wins[QUOTES] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Raducanu told to copy tennis player just months older than her on injury return[VERDICT] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sinner went on to beat Djokovic for the first time in his career in a tight three-set contest.
