Novak Djokovic is having yet another sensational campaign at the Australian Open and once again his father is stealing the show for the wrong reasons.
Prior to their expulsion from the Australian Open on Wednesday night, Vladimir Putin supporters were seen taking pictures with Novak Djokovic’s father Srdan. Djokovic, who just defeated Andrey Rublev of Russia in straight sets to advance to his 10th Melbourne semi-final, is still the favorite to win the championship on Sunday.
Just before 10.30 p.m., however, there were unpleasant scenes outside the stadium when a group of supporters began singing chants in favor of Putin and “Russia Serbia.”
From the following video, it seems that Srdan Djokovic was quite happy posing with these people.
