Novak Djokovic ne plaisante pas avec le respect envers lui et la communauté serbe. Après sa victoire ce dimanche contre Jiri Lehecka, celui qui affrontera Carlos Alcaraz en quarts de l'Open d'Australie a zappé la traditionnelle interview sur le court. Celle-ci n'est pas obligatoire mais reste un rendez-vous habituel dans les grands rendez-vous. Pris de court, Jim Courier a pris avec humour ce moment sans en connaître la cause. Novak Djokovic avait une cible bien précise : Channel 9, le diffuseur australien du tournoi. Nole n'a pas apprécié une sortie d'un de leurs journalistes. Explication de Djokovic sur X.

00:00Hey guys, thank you all for support, great great match again against Lehecka who is in form.
00:13Looking forward to the next matchup with Carlos and I just want to take a moment to reflect
00:19on what happened on the court, the reason why I did not do an interview that is a common
00:25practice after the matches for the winner to do a post-match interview so I just wanted
00:31to make sure that I clarify with everyone what happened, the reason why I chose not
00:36to do that is because a few days ago a famous sports journalist here from Australia who
00:42works for a main broadcaster of Australian Open Channel 9 decided to mock Serbian fans
00:49and he made insulting and offensive comments towards me, so I was hoping he is going to
00:57apologize in public which he hasn't done yet, neither did Channel 9, so that's the only
01:04reason why I didn't do the interview, it was of course not a great feeling for me and it
01:09was quite awkward on the court, Jim Currier was the one that came out, I have tremendous
01:15respect for him and I always love speaking to Jim and I know that a lot of people wanted
01:20to hear me speak so I apologize for everyone being on the stadium and not being able to
01:25hear me speak and on the TV as well but that's the main reason and I have to stand by my
01:33decision and hold this stance until something is done so I leave it to Channel 9 and hopefully
01:39that situation will change for the next match, all the best.
