Jan 19, 2025, 01:15 PM
Novak Djokovic advanced to the Australian Open quarterfinals by defeating Jiri Lehecka 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(4), but declined the customary on-court interview after his victory. The ten-time Australian Open champion is seeking an apology from Channel 9 and its journalist Tony Jones for what he described as 'insulting and offensive comments' directed towards him and Serbian fans. Djokovic later explained his decision in a press conference, stating that he would not engage with the official broadcaster until an apology is issued. Some spectators booed as he left the court without the interview.
