NOVAK DJOKOVIC was BOOED by the Wimbledon crowd – and then responded by blowing a kiss at his trolls.

The Serbian star, 35, booked his spot in Sunday’s final by beating Cameron Norrie on Centre Court this afternoon.

He dropped the first set against the Brit as the partisan home support went crazy.

But he used all his class and experience to dig himself out of trouble to pull through 2-6 6-3 6-2 6-4 in two hours and 34 minutes.

However, there was some tension between Djokovic and a few fans – especially as they called out at the world No3 during his service games in the fourth set which prompted a steely death stare from the six-time winner.

On match point, Djokovic sent a booming serve down the middle which Norrie only just got a frame to.

And his victory sparked a few boos from the 15,000-seater stadium in SW19.

Djokovic responded by blowing kisses in an apparent swiped return at the haters.

The 20-time Grand Slam champ, now into a record 32nd final, then celebrated wildly with a passionate roar of delight in the middle of the court after shaking hands with Norrie.

But that in turn prompted more jeers which drowned out the cheers as the animosity increased on a slightly-tense Centre Court.

Asked about the incident in his press conference, Djokovic sarcastically replied: “I was blowing kisses to someone who was cheering for me.”

But the reaction still caused a stir on social media as viewers refused to be fooled – although opinions were divided.

One said: “Djokovic blows kisses to the idiot disrupting play. My man. It’s what I’d do in his place.”

Another wrote: “Wimbledon fans booed Djokovic all match but they are now angry because he blew kisses at them?”

But a third added: “Djokovic is such an arrogant individual. His expressions and blowing kisses to the crowd at the end, showed that.

“Such an unlikeable individual. Never thought I’d want Nick Kyrgios to be Wimbledon champ, however…”

Djokovic will face Kyrgios in Sunday’s final aiming to win a fourth Wimbledon in a row and seventh overall.

Aussie Kyrgios received a walkover when Rafael Nadal pulled out of the tournament due to a 7mm tear in an abdominal muscle.
