Follow Mail Sport's live blog for the latest score and game-by-game updates as Aryna Sabalenka and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova go head-to-head, with Novak Djokovic's mouthwatering tie against Carlos Alcaraz coming this evening. Tony Jones' bizarre outburst towards Novak Djokovic has been the talk of the tennis precinct this week.
His comments, claiming that the world No 7 was a 'has-been' during a live television broadcast have caught the ire of many around the world, from Piers Morgan to even Elon Musk. Nick Kyrgios even slammed the Channel 9 broadcaster on Monday in a hilarious skit that was published to his Instagram account.
Jones was seen standing on Channel 9's broadcasting balcony talking to a camera when a group of Serbian fans appeared behind him. The group appeared to start chanting before the 63-year-old turned to the fans and sang: 'Novak, he's overrated ... Novak's a has-been. Novak, kick him out,'.
The Serbian fans were unable to hear his comments, with Djokovic demanding an apology from Jones following the comments, which he said were 'insulting and offensive'. Jones' apology has also been blasted, with some calling it 'hollow' and it appeared to be more of a defence of his words than an apology but a new revelation has emerged over the saga.
