Jim Courier tells how he felt when Novak Djokovic ditched on-court interview
Jim Courier is sharing how he felt about the Novak Djokovic on-court interview drama as the American revealed that the Serb looked at him as if he should have known that there wasn't going to be an interview.
In the Australian Open round-of-16, the tournament's record 10-time champion saw off Jiri Lehecka 6-3 6-4 7-6 (4) to set up a showdown versus Carlos Alcaraz.
But then - instead of giving a short reflection on his win and possibly answering some other questions - the 37-year-old only delivered a quick message to the crowd and that was it.
"Thank you very much for being here tonight, I appreciate your presence and support. See you next round. Thank you very much," Djokovic said.
In his press conference, the Serb blamed Channel 9 Tony Jones - who referred to him as "overrated" and "a has-been" a couple of days earlier - for his boycott of Channel 9.
