Australia’s Channel Nine Apologizes To Tennis Champ Novak Djovokic After Presenter’s “Has-Been” Comments
Novak Djovokic has received an apology from Australia's Channel Nine over presenter comments made by presenter Toby Jones.
Jones — who works for Nine, the tournament’s official broadcaster — was widely criticized by tennis professionals and social media commenters after his remarks went viral, and he has since apologized to Djovokic’s camp and the Serbian fans. He added that the “kick him out” remark, in particular, was triggering to Djovokic’s fans following the legendary player’s deportation from Australia in 2021 over his decision to remain unvaccinated during Covid-19 pandemic. As the winner of a record 24 Grand Slams and the gold medal at last year’s Olympic Games in Paris, the 37-year-old Djovokic is considered by many as the greatest male tennis player in history.
