Says reporter ‘mocked’ Serbia fans and insulted himDjokovic skipped interview after defeat of Lehecka
Novak Djokovic will boycott on-court interviews at the Australian Open and media appearances with Channel Nine until he receives an apology from the Australian television network after its reporter “made a mockery” of Serbian fans and “made insulting and offensive comments” towards him.
Djokovic had been due to speak with Jim Courier for the on-court interview after advancing into the quarter-finals, but after a brief off-mic conversation with Courier Djokovic instead took the mic and briefly addressed the crowd before signing autographs and leaving the court.
