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.
