Things may be a bit awkward in Novak Djokovic’s family. The Serbian champion is well-known for his kind heart, and he is extremely concerned about what is happening in Ukraine now.
At the beginning of the war, the former world number 1 wrote a nice message to former professional player Sergiy Stakhovsky, who is fighting for his country in Ukraine. On that occasion, Novak also offered financial support.
Unfortunately, Novak’s father seems to have a completely different view of the war. He was caught in Melbourne, posing with some demonstrators supporting Putin.
