From what I can tell from limited resources, a typical Aussie joke made in response to crowd heckling during a live cross, referring to Djoker as a has-been spud, has been blown out of proportion and now has all sorts of fanciful allegations attached to it.

It looks to me like Djoker's fans wanted a fight, picked the live cross to disrupt, Tony Jones took the bait, and now he is the victim of a drive-by hijacking for some sort of political purpose.

If Tony Jones is guilty of anything it's naivety, he seems to have missed the point that it's not just footballers that are idolised and that public forums can be used for more than they are intended.

However, Djoker ever the opportunist took the chance to build another layer of mis-direction and subterfuge for his own benefit, and that made the situation much worse.

When I look at the behaviour of Collins and Djoker, it seems to me these tennis players are getting a bit ahead of themselves. This is the new modern era, they are all become little copycat mini-Trumps and mini-Musks, it's going to be so destructive.

The Aussie crowds have become a disgrace. A bunch of drunken bogans that have zero interest in the sport.

I went to the AO for the first time ever last night. Tennis Australia have created a monster with the bar outlets absolutely everywhere. We sat out in the lawn areas and people were definitely getting on the gas. The raucous behaviour during games has been evident but having said that, as LP has said, Djokovic and Serbian fans has grossly overreacted/exaggerated this. They are just looking for "payback" for when Djokovic refused to follow rules the of our land during the pandemic.

It depends if what I've been told was true about Tony referring to them as Croatian, then he's made a bit of a faux par and deserves a bit of criticism.

That and the whole act professionally without bias side of things.  Djokovic is not new to criticism but his response to this has hit a different level than we normally see and he has taken it on gooooood humour before.

Djokovic, might cop a serve from the crowd at his next game.
He doesn't usually like it when the crowd is against him!

From the footage I have seen, Jones responds to the chanting crowd (who believe couldnt hear him as he was behind glass) using the words hasbeen, overrated and kick him out. Nothing about Croatian can be heard. In any case, they have apologised and he has accepted. I hope the crowd bogan right up and farken give it to him.

Didn't hear any reference to Croatians in anything I've seen.

That’s incorrect Thry.  Jones might have a blokey sense of humour and poor judgement but he’s not stupid.

He has done it his whole  career but tonight will be tough, not because of the crowd but by who he is up against.

He's the GOAT in my opinion and is every chance to beat Alcaraz.

He is the GOAT and you can never count him out. Ill lay London to a brick though that he faked that groin injury to psych out Alcaraz. Not 5 minutes before Courier was saying how he is always looking for an advantage whether it be jostling with the crowd, or an umpire to certain tactics against his opponent.

There's no way he faked that injury.  He could barely move during periods and changed his playing style remarkably, and his injury time out came at the worst possible time.

Not sure about that. I like him but he plays the injury card too often to not be part of his mind games with an opponent.  Often when his opponent is on top he breaks their concentration by claiming he is badly injured and on way to retire.

He knew he had lost the first set so no better time to break the rhythm of the match - he has nothing to lose and everything to gain at that point. Then just like that he snaps out of his injury and is super focused on the next set which is exactly what happened again

He is the GOAT for a reason and mentally there is no one in the game as strong or smart as the Joker.
