Tony Jones’ Apology
The comments were made on the Friday night news, which I considered a joke,” Jones said on the Today Show.
I considered it to be humour, which is consistent with most of the things I do, whether it’s the Sunday Footy Show or the Morning Show here.
That said, I was informed on Saturday morning from Tennis Australia via the Djokovic camp that the Djokovic camp was not at all happy with those comments.
Now, as such, I immediately contacted Djokovic’s camp and apologized to them. So this was 48 hours ago.
For any disrespect that Novak felt I had caused, and as I am here now, I stand by that apology to Novak if he felt any disrespect, which clearly he did.
“They come here with the flags and they bring so much color and so much passion, and there was jokes, so I thought what I was doing was an extension of those jokes,” he said.
It’s clear that it hasn’t been interpreted that way, so I feel like I’ve let down the Serbian fans.
I’m just saying not to try to get out of trouble or anything, I’m really sorry for those fans.
‘Now I can stay here and put whatever spin I want on it, but it can only be interpreted as a throwback to the COVID years when he was expelled (from Australia for not having a visa),’ he added.
That has angered Novak, which I now completely understand.
It’s an unfortunate situation. It has been one of personal anguish for Novak. It’s clearly a personal anguish for me too. But I think the priority now is to refocus on tennis.
