After the evidence of the “disrespect” of the legendary Tennis Novak Djokovic, veteran Tony Jones tennis host was eliminated from the team working in Wimbledon.
Djokovic seemed to be “the last laugh” when a reporter that he had a good relationship was eliminated from the role of MC at the Wimbledon 2025 tennis tournament. This person is Tony Jones, a veteran sports host and a reporter for Australian Channel Nine TV channel. The 63 -year -old reporter will not be allowed to participate in SW19 in this year's Wimbledon.
Jones is often one of the main hosts of the TV channel at the Wimbledon. But this time he will not go with the channel after the incident in January.
It is known that in January, Jones's comments on Djokovic made the Serbian tennis player in the Australian tournament expanded and made the channel make a public apology. Along with many harsh criticisms aimed at Djokovic, Jones also used strong words like “chasing him out of the tournament”.
This is understood that Jones intentionally referred to the Australian Australia expansion of 2022, where the Serbian tennis player was eliminated from the tournament due to the country's Covid-19 regulations. Jones's comments were even condemned by the Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese.
In the comments considered by Djokovic as “disrespectful” from Jones, the most famous that he shouted: “Novak, he is too highly appreciated. Novak is an out of time. Novak, kick him out … God, I'm glad they don't hear me.”
The owner of the 24 Grand Slam title also refused to answer the interview on the sidelines of the field with the television station until Jones gave a public apology to him personally.
