Another scandal at the Australian Open-2023
Ambassador of Ukraine to Australia Vasily Miroshnichenko commented on the video in which the father of Novak Djokovic – Srdjan Djokovic posed with a fan in a T-shirt with the Z symbol and a flag with a portrait of Putin.
“It is unacceptable. It’s a shame for the tournament. Appropriate action must be taken. I want to ask Novak Djokovic for his opinion on the situation. Does he support Putin? Does he support the war in Ukraine? What does he think of his father’s behavior?
The video was filmed in Melbourne during the Australian Open 2023. On the recording, Djokovic Sr. says “Long live the Russians.”
Recall that at the Australian Open 2023 match between Djokovic and Russian Andrei Rublev, one of the fans in the stands was wearing a T-shirt with the Z symbol.
Earlier, Ukrainian Ambassador to Australia Vasily Miroshnichenko appealed to the organizers of the Australian Open-2023 with a request to respond to the demonstration of the Russian flag during the match between Ukrainian Katerina Beindl and Russian Kamilla Rakhimova.
