Following 37-year-old Djokovic's straight sets win over 21-year-old, 15-seed Holger Rune, Novak used his on-court interview to call out fans in a rather creative way.

Some background for context ... fans of Rune tend to draw out his last name during tournaments, chanting "Runnnnnnneeeeeee." Just fans having a little bit of fun, right?!

Madison Keys' fiancé found himself in a pick-le ... 'cause ESPN jumped to him at the wrong time -- and, they caught him fingertip deep in his nostril.

Tennis star Andrey Rublev melted down during his Wimbledon match on Tuesday ... beating himself repeatedly with his racket -- and the wild outburst was all captured on video.
