Novak Djokovic Boycott is an interview after the match
Novak Djokovic After beating Jiri Lehekka 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (4), he faces Alkaraz in the quarter-finals, but Djokovic’s non-tennis actions have made headlines again. Djokovic skipped a traditional Postwin on-court interview last week in a protest against Channel Nine broadcaster Tony Jones, which won criticism of Serbian fans and the television segment that laughed at Djokovic himself.

“You can go back to Melbourne Park and see the fans of Novak Djokovic, they have a full voice. The hymn is very extraordinary,” Jones said, opening the segment. He then turned to Serb fans.
“Novak, he’s overrated. Novak is Bean. Novak, I’ll drive him out. Boy, I’m happy I can’t hear me,” Jones said.
Djokovic spoke to the crowd after a round four victory without the help of Mike, and when interviewer Jim Courier tried to hand him the microphone, Djokovic refused.
“A few days ago, a well-known sports journalist working here in Australia on Channel 9 made ock-lol for Serb fans and made humiliating and offensive comments against me,” Djokovic told the crowd via the Guardian. “Since then he chose not to issue a public apology. Nor did Channel 9. So they chose not to interview Channel 9 as they are official broadcasters.”
