- Novak Djokovic reprimanded a cameraman for invading his personal space during his third-round match at the French Open against Joao Fonseca, asking him to "make some space" as he searched his bag.
- 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.
- Djokovic has previously voiced concerns about player privacy, agreeing with Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek that athletes are treated like "animals in a zoo" due to constant camera surveillance.
- 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.
- This event echoes a similar situation last season where American player Danielle Collins requested personal space from a cameraman during a tournament in Strasbourg.
