Nole è stopped to sign autographs but refused to speak, limiting himself to a very quick sentence: "Thank you all for coming today, I appreciate your presence and support. See you at the next round, thank you very much".

Djokovic in the press conference then explained his behavior in controversy with the tournament's official broadcaster, Channel 9, over words issued by a sports journalist, who allegedly "mocked" his fans.

"A couple of days ago, the famous sports journalist who works for the official broadcaster, Channel 9 here in Australia, mocked the Serbian fans and also made insulting and insulting comments towards me. Since then he has not è apologized, and neither has Channel 9. I have therefore chosen not to give interviews. I have nothing against Jim Courier or the Australian public".

" It was a very embarrassing situation for me that I faced on the field today. È a pity what è happened". Nole during the match had also complained about the words of some fans in the stands.
