Djokovic angrily said through the microphone: "Learn to respect the players, learn to respect everyone, be quiet, keep order." Nole could not keep his cool when a group of UK fans continuously beat drums and sang loudly while he was doing a post-match interview.
On the evening of November 23, thousands of UK fans came to Costa Del Sol Stadium (Malaga, Spain) to cheer on the team in the 2023 Davis Cup finals. The singles match between Novak Djokovic and Cameron Norrie received great attention.

In set 1, Nole had a break point in the 5th game and almost had another break in the 7th game. Even so, Djokovic still won 6-4.
In set 2, the ATP Finals champion continued his momentum and broke his opponent in the first service game. However, Nole missed 5 chances to get the second break in game 5. However, Norrie had no chance to equalize the score and accepted to lose 4-6 in set 2.
In the end, Djokovic defeated Cameron Norrie in two sets with the scores of 6-4, 6-4. In the second singles match, Serbia's Miomir Kecmanovic defeated Jack Draper with the scores of 7-6, 7-6.
Winning both singles matches, Serbia eliminated Great Britain to advance to the 2023 Davis Cup semi-finals to meet Italy (who beat the Netherlands 2-1 in the quarter-finals at the same time). The other semi-final will be between Finland and Australia.
Novak Djokovic will face Jannik Sinner in a rematch in the semifinals on November 25. At the 2023 ATP Finals, Djokovic lost to Sinner in the group stage, but Nole defeated the Italian player in the final to win the championship on November 20.
