Ukrainian ambassador to Australia Vasyl Myroshnychenko has demanded Novak Djokovic 's dad be banned from the Australian Open. This comes after Djokovic's dad Srdjan was pictured with a group of Russian Vladimir Putin supporters outside the Rod Laver Arena.
A clip posted on YouTube by 'Aussie Cossack ' showed Mr Djokovic alongside a number of Russian nationals, parading their flag - which is banned at the Grand Slam event - along with pictures of President Putin.
The father to the nine-time Australian Open champion is seen in arms with the pro-Putin group, and is alleged to have cried out 'long live Russia ' before leaving the scene.
