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

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:

Publicité

"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.

O, but he is special!
He is the most special tennis player, he is the GREATEST of all time.

But, before you mention banning, you and Tony Jones should learn the meaning of RESPECT.

Typical behaviour. He thinks the world revolves around him. He knows the way things are supposed to be done but no not Novak. Fineing him won’t make an ounce of difference to him, that’s like a drop in the ocean. He need to be banned/removed from tournament. He’s no more special than any other player out there.

If I could give you a piece of advice
would tell you one phrase
"FEA" borrowed from the "TRUTH" film!
Just ignore them, their apology won't be sincere and won't make a difference!

"He is no more special...". To say something like that about GOAT??? That says a lot about this comment. Regarding the issue... I watched a lot of commentators -ESPN, Eurusport... All of them are extremely respectful, they may not like something, but they never will insult a player or fan...This Tony Jones could be a funny guy, and he may say exactly the same, but not on the air!
At home, to make your wife laugh - be my guest, but if you officially cover the event, it's totally inappropriate... Nole is right

Sure he's special, the amount of disrespect he received down under is proportional to IQ of his haters! Reversed sadly, crocodile Dundee's

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Grenier and Hsu at the Kobe tournament? The match was played to completion and on time.

Grenier def Ysu 6-2 , 6-2 at Kobe today and the TT canceled the match.

2nd for me this week.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.

Son of a gun, pow. You going for the 3peat? Do it, but I'm chasing and so is Jimandlori. lol
