Australian broadcaster Tony Jones has apologized to Novak Djokovic after the tennis star called him out for what he said were comments offensive to both Djokovic himself and Serbian fans.
"I considered it to be humor, which is consistent with most things I do," Jones, who works for Channel 9, said of his remarks. "Having said that, I was made aware ... that the Djokovic camp was not happy at all with those comments. As such, I immediately contacted the Djokovic camp and issued an apology to them—this was 48 hours ago—for any disrespect that Novak felt, that I had caused. And as I stand here now, I can only stand by that apology to Novak if he felt any disrespect, which quite clearly he does."
