Srdjan Djokovic, Novak’s father, has once again found himself at the center of a scandal, this time posing with Vladimir Putin’s supporters gathered outside Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena.
Srdjan Djokovic posed with the Russian flag, on which the face of Vladimir Putin was depicted.
“Long live the Russians,” Novak Djokovic’s father can be heard saying.
By the way, Tennis Australia banned the flags of Russia and Belarus at the Australian Open after a Russian flag flew in the stands during a match between Ukrainian Kateryna Bindl and Russian Kamilla Rakhimova.
For them it’s… a real mess #AusOpenat least.

The levels of security breaches allowed for this are staggering.
