Australian Open did not sanction Djokovic’s father for Russian flag, tournament director says

Australian Open organizers did not ban Srdjan Djokovic from attending the tournament final with the participation of his Serbian son Novak Djokovic said Craig Tiley, director of the Australian Open.

On January 29, Novak won his 22nd Grand Slam title by defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece in the Australian Open final. Srdjan Djokovic was not present at the game. On January 26, images emerged on the network of Novak’s father posing with spectators at the Australian Open showing the Russian flag. On January 17, the Australian Tennis Federation announced a ban on Russian flags in the stands during Australian Open matches.

– Whether or not to attend the final is Srdjan’s decision. He did not break any rules of the event. I personally know Djokovic’s father, his family was disappointed with what happened, — quotes the words of Tylee Tennis Update .
