Pressure on Djokovic, AO over ‘appalling’ act
UPDATE: British former player and Nine commentator Sam Smith says Novak Djokovic must be “devastated” by the “horrible” photos of his father with Putin supporters.
Srdjan Djokovic was filmed saying a phrase in Serbian that has widely been interpreted as “long live the Russians” alongside fans who were flying banned Russian flags, including one with Putin’s face on it at the Australian Open.
Ukraine’s most senior representative in Australia called on the tournament to ban the world No.4’s dad from attending the tournament and also asked for Djokovic himself to detail his thoughts on Russia’s invasion.
