Opinion: It’s January in Melbourne and you know what that means: behold Novak Djokovic, always the winner — but never, ever the sinner
Novak Djokovic celebrating his win over Tommy Paul on Friday night to make the Australian Open men’s final.Djokovic is presently the world’s greatest tennis player, and arguably the greatest of all time. But by his own assessment, the GOAT never acts the goat in his downtime. In life as on court, Djokovic does not make mistakes. And as on court, if things go wrong, there is always someone else to blame. Fans? Often. Umpires? Sure.
Did his father say “long live the Russians”, in Serbian, as translators of the video shot at Rod Laver Arena claim he did?Yes, that’s right. As Djokovic told the media: “He said, ‘Cheers’. Unfortunately, some of the media have interpreted that in a really wrong way.”I don’t speak Serbian, and if Papa Djoker has been stitched up by a dodgy translation, then it is grossly unfair.
