Djokovic reached the Queen’s final this afternoon by beating Jeremy Chardy over straight sets.
However, the Serbian launched a verbal tirade at his box after winning the first-set tiebreak but he spoke in his mother tongue so it is unclear what he said.
But Castle thinks Djokovic was unhappy his coaches, Marian Vajda and Gebhard Phil Gritsch, and quipped that they could soon be axed.
“He got the win there but the ranting and the raving I have no idea about,” Castle told the BBC.
They’ll be wondering if they’ve got a job later on
“He probably won’t explain it to anybody even if he was asked the questions.
“There is an uncertainty in Novak Djokovic that wasn’t there in 2008, 09, 10, 11.
“It is difficult to know exactly where he is but he got the win, as he always does.
“I don’t know what the situation is.

“They’ll be wondering if they’ve got a job later on; ‘P45 you later’ – I have no idea.”
Meanwhile, fellow pundit John Lloyd believes Djokovic’s outburst was in frustration at his own shots.
“I think it was because, even though he won the first set, he wasn’t quite happy with his groundstrokes, there was not enough punch on the ball,” he added.
“The second set he played a lot better I thought.”
