Djokovic ready to pay the price for his boycott: "If you want to fine me, go ahead".

After leaving Rod Laver Arena without taking part in the post-match interview, Novak Djokovic had a chat with Australian Open director Craig Tiley.

Journalists' cameras were able to film the two men discussing the situation, but it was at the press conference that the Serb revealed the exchange he had with Tiley:

"I told him: 'If you want to fine me for not giving the interview on court, go ahead, it's ok'.

I'll accept it because I feel it's something that has to be done. That's all there is to it."

For the moment, no financial penalty has been mentioned by the tournament management, but the case obviously remains to be followed.
