Lock him up! Deport him! Media ATTACK Djokovic's father!

Media: Ban Djokovic’s dad from Open

Ukraine’s ambassador to Australia wants Novak Djokovic’s father banned from the Australian Open for posing with supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin outside Melbourne Park.

A group of fans, including a man holding a Russian flag with Mr Putin’s face on it, gathered on stairs outside the grand slam complex on Wednesday.

Srdjan Djokovic was filmed with the pro-Russian spectators in a video uploaded to YouTube by pro-Russian online commentator Simeon Boikov, better known by his social media moniker Aussie Cossack. As he leaves the group, Mr Djokovic can be heard saying in Serbian: “Long live the Russians.”
