Novak Djokovic, after defeating Jiri Lehecka, chose to boycott interviews with Channel Nine due to offensive remarks from sports presenter Tony Jones, which he found deeply insulting.
Tony Jones, who referred to Djokovic as a 'has-been,' later apologized on-air, claiming his remarks were intended as banter, but Djokovic and his camp expressed their discontent immediately.
Following the incident, notable personalities including Elon Musk supported Djokovic's decision to address the public directly instead of dealing with the media's negativity, with Musk stating it was better to communicate via social media.
Victoria Azarenka vehemently defended Djokovic's legacy, noting the absurdity of labeling him overrated, emphasizing that he has achieved everything possible in professional tennis.
