Nine-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic demands a public apology after what he called a 'public lynching.' 9WWOS
Eurosport tweeted: "Novak Djokovic defied the umpire to take an early bathroom break in his first match at the Australian Open .""He needs to go to the toilet? After five games?" Nine commentator and tennis great John Fitzgerald said in commentary for Nine.
"Again, I have been placed in a situation where I have to react publicly. For the second time in six months, I have a problem with Eurosport. Eurosport have engaged a new company in London that is running their social media. I saw that it was someone new and they confirmed it."I can't remember the details of exactly what happened six months ago, but at the time I said I will not be giving any interviews to Eurosport.
"Some things I can tolerate, some I cannot – they do not deserve for something like this to just be allowed, to get away with it. Usually I don't react, even though I could have reacted a thousand times over different things in the past. Today they went completely overboard. "So, again I am portrayed as the one who behaves how he wants, which is completely untrue. I explained in my social media post exactly what happened.
