It's called kicking the ball, or not taking responsibility. Emblematic character of the circuit but also president of the players 'council, the organization closest to a players' union, Novak Djokovic gave a long-awaited press conference Sunday morning before the start of the Australian Open. Without taking a particular position, on for example, the cancellation of the tournament despite the deplorable playing conditions.
"I was worried," he explains. Melbourne was to be the most polluted city in the world that day (Tuesday). It was sad to see players and ball pickers feeling sick on the court. But I had faith in Melbourne, the "city of the four seasons" as we call it, where the weather changes very quickly. There was a lot of rain overnight and winds that cleared the sky. And the last three days have been really good, fresh air, as if nothing had happened. It will stay like that, we don't know. The lights are not out. Hopefully the worst is behind us. ".
