Novak Djokovic "not a great sport" as court antics blamed for missing out on ATP award

Novak Djokovic has been told his behaviour on court is again responsible for missing out on a prestigious award.

The Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award is handed out to the player who conducts himself the best over the course of the year, with players voting from an ATP shortlist. Rafael Nadal is in the running for a fifth successive trophy, although he has a long way to go to catch Roger Federer's record of 13.

Djokovic meanwhile didn't make the 11-man shortlist and fans were quick to criticise the decision from the governing body. But former tennis player and now commentator Rennae Stubbs says the Serb will continue to be omitted unless he improves his behaviour.
