Surprised everyone and everyone Novak Djokovic in it Australian Open when, just after the triumph over Jiri Lehecka that deposited him in an expected quarterfinal duel against Carlos Alcarazavoided answering questions from Jim Courier in the very center court of the Melbourne Park. The Serbian took the microphone from the former world No. 1 and, laconically, blurted out: “Thank you very much for being here. I appreciate your presence and your support. And I will see you in the next round. Thank you.” Thus, without a morisqueta, he left the field and no one fully understood what had happened. Later, at the press conference, the clarification came. And the first chapter of another scandal with Nole at the center of the scene in the oceanic Grand Slam.
“I would like to clarify the reason why the on-field note was not made… a couple of days ago, the famous sports journalist who works for the official broadcaster Nine here in Australia made fun of the Serbian fans and also “made insulting and offensive comments towards me. And since then he decided not to issue any public apology, like Nine,” Djokovic began.
He continued: “As they are official broadcasters, I decided not to do interviews for Channel Nine. I have nothing against Jim Courier or the Australian public. It’s unfortunate, I chose to say something to the crowd, but obviously it was not the time or the situation to explain what I’m doing now. I let Nine handle this as he sees fit.”
Firm as when playing a decisive match, the Serbian warned that he will maintain that position until he receives a public apology. In fact, he revealed that he spoke with Craig Tiley, tournament director, and that he explained that he will accept the consequences of the decision he made.
“I told Tiley that if they want to fine me for not giving an on-court interview, no problem. I’ll accept it because I feel like it’s something that needs to be done. That’s all there is to do,” he said.
