Novak Djokovic leapt to the defence of his father after he posed with a group of Vladimir Putin supporters at the Australian Open.
Footage emerged this week of Russian supporters chanting Putin's name in Melbourne, whilst also parading the country's flag. Srdjan Djokovic is then seen posing with a pro-Putin supporter, who is sporting the banned military 'Z' symbol on his chest, before the father of the nine-time champion allegedly comments: "Long live Russia."
Following his progression to his 10th Australian Open final, the 35-year-old attempted to clear up any confusion regarding the incident and clear his dad of any wrongdoing.
