– I tried medicine, working with a physiotherapist, which helped to some extent today. At the end of the set, however, I began to feel more and more pain. It was getting worse and worse – said Serb at a press conference.

Djokovic's decision to meet Zverev did not like the Australian audience. When the Serb left the court, some of the fans Buczała and whistled with dissatisfaction. But this was not the only unpleasantness that Serba met this year in Melbourne.

During the match of the 3rd round with Tomas Machaka, the Australian journalist Tony Jones mocked Serbian supporters, singing on the vision: “Novak is overrated. Novak is a past.” Djoković said that Jones offended not only his, but also his fans and refused to talk on the court after meeting the 4th round with Jirim Lehecka.

Troicki stood up for Djokovic

This behavior meant that Jones and television in which he works was apologized to Djokovic. The coach of the Serbia national team in the Davis Cup Viktor Troicki referred to recent events with the participation of the 37-year-old.

– Australian fans burst on Novak after he was injured. This does not happen in a different sport, even in football, where the audience is more 'wild'. When the footballer experiences an injury and leaves the field, the fans say goodbye to him and wish him a quick recovery – said Troicki, quoted by Nova.RS.

– It was very surprising. Especially since it happened in a place where Djoković played his best tennis and won 10 titles. It was disappointing disrespect. I don't remember that something similar would happen before. The audience should have more respect for the master – he added.

He also commented on the trout with Jones. – If I hired such a journalist, I would immediately lose my job. Movie from the athlete during the tournament is unacceptable. I think that an apology is not enough. Jones should be suspended for life and should never take part in tennis tournaments again – said Troicki.
