SCANDAL AT THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN! VIKTOR TROICKI HARSHLY CRITICIZES TONY JONES AND CALLS FOR HIS PERMANENT EXpulsion

The 2025 Australian Open has witnessed a fresh controversy following explosive remarks by Viktor Troicki , captain of the Serbian Davis Cup team , who has lashed out at Tony Jones , demanding that he be banned for life for his treatment of Novak Djokovic during the tournament.

Troicki does not keep quiet: “Tony Jones does not deserve to be in tennis”

In a recent interview, Troicki expressed his outrage at what he considers to be unfair and malicious treatment towards Djokovic. According to the former tennis player and current captain of the Serbian team, Jones has been biased and hostile in his coverage of the tournament, constantly launching criticism against the world number one and questioning his professionalism and integrity as a player .

“Tony Jones has no respect for Djokovic or the game of tennis. His comments have been offensive, and his treatment of Novak is unacceptable. Someone like him does not deserve to be in the sport and should be banned permanently.”

Troicki’s comments have caused a stir in the tennis world, especially among Djokovic’s fans, who believe the Australian journalist has been unfair and biased in his criticism of the Serbian champion.

Is Jones anti-Djokovic? The controversy continues to grow

This is not the first time that Tony Jones has found himself in the eye of the storm for his statements about Novak Djokovic . Over the years, the journalist has been a recurring critic of the tennis player, questioning his behaviour on the court, his injuries and even his professional ethics.

During the Australian Open , Jones again made provocative and controversial comments , suggesting that Djokovic exaggerates his injuries and that he has received refereeing favors on several occasions. These statements have outraged the Serbian’s fans, who accuse Jones of leading a smear campaign against their idol .

Mixed reactions in the tennis world

Troicki’s comments have generated mixed opinions. While Djokovic’s supporters support the request for Tony Jones’ expulsion, others argue that freedom of the press must be respected and that, although the journalist’s opinions are harsh, they are part of the natural debate in the world of sport.

For his part, Djokovic has not issued any official response on the matter, but he is expected to make some comment in the coming days.

What will happen to Tony Jones?

So far, Australian Open management and the Australian media have not taken any action against Tony Jones, but the controversy continues to grow.

The debate is open: Should Tony Jones be punished for his attacks on Djokovic, or is he simply exercising his right to express his opinion? The controversy is far from over .
