Novak Djokovic refuses Channel 9 interviews at the Australian Open after "insulting and offensive" comments about him and Serbian fans. Nick Kyrgios slams the behavior as "putrid," while Elon Musk defends Djokovic.

Novak Djokovic declined a post-match TV interview after winning in the fourth round of the Australian Open after an on-air personality from the local Australian broadcaster of the tournament made negative comments about him in front of Serbian fans.

The presenter at the center of Novak Djokovic’s decision to boycott on-court interviews at the Australian Open has apologized to the 24-time Grand Slam champion, saying that he “overstepped the mark.” Channel 9 presenter Tony Jones was overlooking a group of Serbian fans while recording a dispatch from Melbourne Park Friday night.
