The author uses emotional manipulation by describing Djokovic as the 'sport's surprise elder statesman' and 'the gentleman king of tennis'. He also uses selective reporting by only mentioning instances where Djokovic reacted negatively to crowd behavior, while ignoring instances where he was gracious in defeat. The author also makes assumptions about the crowd's intentions without providing evidence.
To all those people who have chosen to disrespect the player – in this case, me – have a goooooood night. Goooooood night, gooooood night. Very good night. Yep.
Well, that didn’t last long.

Fallacies
(75%)
The author makes an appeal to the reader's emotions by describing Djokovic as the 'surprise elder statesman' and 'gentleman king' of tennis. This is an informal fallacy known as appeals to emotion or pathos. The author also uses dichotomous depictions by contrasting Djokovic's gracious behavior with his supposedly cantankerous and me-against-the-world persona, implying that these two aspects are mutually exclusive. This is a logical fallacy known as false dilemma.

The author describes Djokovic as a 'surprise elder statesman' and 'gentleman king', implying that these are positive traits that make him an unexpected and admirable figure in tennis. However, the author also contrasts these traits with Djokovic's supposedly cantankerous and me-against-the-world persona, implying that they are mutually exclusive. This is a false dilemma fallacy as it oversimplifies the complexity of Djokovic's character and reduces it to a simplistic dichotomy.
The author uses the phrase 'strange as it may have seemed' to elicit an emotional response from the reader and create a sense of intrigue. This is an appeal to emotion or pathos fallacy as it attempts to manipulate the reader's emotions rather than presenting objective facts.

Djokovic demolished Rune, then ripped into the Centre Court fans, who are supposed to be known for their decorum.
Federer never had to put up with this. When he was the king of Centre Court, the crowds loved nothing more than seeing him dance through opponents.

The author, Christopher Brito, employs inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority in this article. He uses strong language such as “disrespect” to describe the actions of the Wimbledon crowd and quotes Djokovic directly calling for respectful people. Additionally, Brito references Djokovic's 20 years on the tour as a reason to question his perception of the crowd's behavior. However, no logical fallacies were found in direct quotes from any other speaker or in statements about the subject matter itself.

The author, Christopher Brito, makes no explicit bias statements in the article. However, he does include quotes from Novak Djokovic accusing the Wimbledon crowd of 'disrespect' and implying that they were booing him. While it is not explicitly stated that these quotes are biased or that the author holds a bias towards Djokovic or against the Wimbledon crowd, the repeated use of the word 'disrespect' and implication of booing could be perceived as negative and potentially biased. The author also includes quotes from Holger Rune stating that it was his name being chanted, but Djokovic believed it to be boos. This discrepancy is not explored further by the author, which could leave readers with an incomplete understanding of the situation.
