Novak Djokovic blasted by Ukraine footballer in rant as Serb labelled pro-Russia

“As he knew that Infantino was completely controlled and corrupted by Russia when he took a picture with him. How did he know that he was going to NOK, which is full of former regionals. And got out of it only after it gained a lot of publicity.”

While Zozulya pointed to the Australian Open incident involving Djokovic’s dad, the world No 1 himself beforehand clarified that the protesters “misused” his father and clarified what he stated was a misunderstanding, reiterating that their household don’t assist the battle. “It was unfortunate that the misinterpretation of what happened yesterday has escalated to such a high level,” he stated on the time.

“There was, I would say, a lot of conversations with tournament director, with media and everyone else. It has got to me, of course, as well. I was not aware of it till last night. Then, of course, I was not pleased to see that. My father, my whole family, and myself, have been through several wars during ’90s. As my father put in a statement, we are against the war, we never will support any violence or any war. We know how devastating that is for the family, for people in any country that is going through the war.”
