Father and son agreed it was best that the now-22-times Grand Slam champ avoided the media glare after video emerged of Djokovic's father posing with pro-Russian spectators at Melbourne Park last Wednesday night.Novak Djokovic admitted feeling sad because his dad didn't attend the Australian Open final
'I thought the things will calm down in terms of media and everything, but it didn't. We both agreed it would probably be better that he is not there,' Djokovic said after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-5) to claim a 10th Australian Open title.
'That hurts me and him a lot because these are very special, unique moments. Who knows if they repeat again. So it was not easy for him.
'I saw him after the match, of course. Yeah, he was not feeling his best, let's say, even though he was very happy to hug me and of course with everything.
'I could see that, yeah, he's a bit sad.'
