Australian Open > Victoria Azarenka: “The audacity of this journalist to call Novak Djokovic overrated is simply insane. This guy literally finished Tennis by winning everything there is to win in our sport!”

Author of a very bad taste joke on Novak Djokovic during a report broadcast live on Australian television, Tom Jones really would have done better to keep quiet.

In addition to attracting the wrath of the main person concerned, who refused to speak on court this Sunday while awaiting an apology from the channel, the journalist having quickly apologized, the latter must now face to a wave of indignation from the Tennis world.

After the reaction of Darren Cahill, coach of Jannik Sinner, or that of Marion Bartoli, it is the turn of the current 24^e world player, Victoria Azarenka, to express herself in a rather dry manner. And she's clearly not wrong.

“The audacity of this journalist to call Novak Djokovic overrated is simply insane. This guy literally finished tennis by winning everything there is to win in our sport! »wrote the Belarusian on her Twitter account.
