The incident occurred after Djokovic had taken a two-set lead on a scorching hot day at Roland Garros, with the cameraman standing just a couple of feet away from him during a changeover.

He expressed frustration that players cannot escape cameras to vent emotions, stating that "content is everything" in modern society and questioning the lack of boundaries for filming.
