Novak Djokovic case: journalist’s apology arrives

Tony Jones è publicly apologized for the unfortunate exit

The "Novak Djokovic" case appears to have been recessed. As is well known, Tony Jones, a journalist for the Nine Network group, had made an unfortunate exit toward some Serbian fans of the former world No. 1. Some over-the-top jokes that, in fact, had led Novak Djokovic himself to take a firm stance against the network.

The Serbian tennis player, in fact, did not give the classic post-match interview to Jim Courier, the network’s field correspondent who is also headed by Tony Jones. An unpleasant situation that è became something of a case in Melbourne. The journalist, realizing what he had done, came on the air explaining that he had contacted the Serb’s team to offer his most heartfelt apologies.

"I am here now to reiterate my apology in front of everyone, if my words offended him. I feel like I have disappointed the Serbian fans", he said. “I’m not just saying this to try to get myself out of trouble or anything. I sincerely feel sorry for those fans. If I could go back in time … È it was an unfortunate situation, è it was a personal anguish for Novak and it was for me too, but now the priority now è to focus on tennis", his words.

It should be noted that Jim Courier, when questioned on the issue, also explained that he understood Novak Djokovic’s reaction and, therefore, accepted the Serb’s decision without any problems. In short, now the situation seems to have been finally resolved.
