MELBOURNE, Jan 27 — Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk said Friday it was “very upsetting” to see Novak Djokovic’s father posing alongside a Russian flag with President Vladimir Putin’s face on it at the Australian Open.
A group of Russian fans flouted the ban on Wednesday night and also chanted pro-Russian and pro-Putin slogans. Asked by reporters if she thought Djokovic’s father should be banned from Melbourne Park, where the Serbian player is in the semi-finals, Kostyuk said: “That’s a lot of responsibility on me. “No matter what I say I will be hated until the rest of my life, especially by very aggressive Novak fans,” she said.
