Hardly say hes unlikeable. Hes just not a Rafa or roger. A lot of people say the same about Andy.
But he IS unlikeable! Not much of a fan of Rafa or The Lodger, either.
I won't say he's 'unlikeable', as others may well like him
But I definitely don't like Djokovic (great respect for him as a tennis player - amazing performance today against Rublev - but I don't like him as a person one jot).
These apparently are Serbian fans waving pro Putin and Russia flags. Djokovic signs an autograph for a guy in a Z shirt and also the woman in the military cap. Maybe he didnt know , who knows

The fact Serbia has a long history of supporting Russia and vice versa doesnt make this any more acceptable
I'm not holding Djoko liable for the actions of other Serbians
But - I repeat - I don't like him or his values
I dont like him either for the same reasons.
I know some people don't like Andy either but I don't think that's for similar objectively valid reasons. It's more about stuff they've read in the press that's invented 'facts' about him (e.g. he doesn't like English people, when he lives in England, has many English friends, four half English children and he lives here).

Agreed. No idea if he knew what was going on but the whole episode was unsavoury.
Entirely predictable, shame on the Australian authorities for giving a platform to these types, and to those nations. I felt sure they would back Wimbledon, but they didn't.
