Novak Djokovic once again became a topic of discussion at the Australian tennis tournament because he suspected that he violated the rules of communication with the coach. Specifically, in the match against Andray RubleV in the quarterfinals on January 25, the camera lens captured the image of the No. 4 seed received a bottle of water with a letter from the coach team. Nole of course read this piece of paper.
The incident took place right in the third game of the first set. It is unclear what the message on paper is but it obviously helped Djokovic to play overwhelming against RubleV. The 9-time Australian championship easily defeated the Russian opponent after 3 sets (6-1, 6-2, 6-4) to enter the semi-finals.
However, a large part of the tennis NHM said that Djokovic's actions and the support team were invalid. According to the expansion of Australia, the coach and athletes are only allowed to exchange in words when they are at the same tip of the yard, or exchange with signals and gestures at the other end of the yard.
The use of paper to exchange professional issues is not allowed to take place. And this is not the first time Djokovic has been in this controversial incident. Even in the previous round, a clip also recorded an image of a 35 -year -old star receiving a paper bottle attached to the match against Enzo Couacaud.
The Organizing Committee of the Australian tennis tournament has no official move on the case of Novak Djokovic. However, this controversy could cause the audience in Melbourne to turn away from the Serbian tennis player in the next match.
Currently, Djokovic is still showing the sublime performance in the journey to win the 22nd Grand Slam title. After passing RubleV, Djokovic's opponent in the semi -finals will be Tommy Paul.
