The day of the Australian Open ended with Novak Djokovic refusing to do the usual post-match interview after his victory over Lehecka. During the press conference, the Serbian wanted to clarify the reason behind this decision, which relates to some comments made by the journalist Tony Jones from Channel 9 about the Serbian fans that didn’t sit well with him. "I would like to clarify the reason why I did not do the post-match on-court interview, as it is something we usually do. A couple of days ago, the famous sports journalist who works for the official broadcaster here in Australia, Channel 9, mocked Serbian fans and also made insulting and offensive comments towards me. And since then, neither he nor Channel 9 has made any public apology. Therefore, as the official broadcaster, I have decided not to give them interviews. I have nothing against Jim Courier or the Australian audience. It was a very uncomfortable situation for me to face on the court today. It's a shame he decided to say something to the crowd, but it wasn't the time, place, or situation to explain what I was doing. I'll let Channel 9 handle this the way they see fit, that's all”.
