Novak Djokovic falls victim to another bizarre outburst on Aussie TV as expert calls him 'evil'

Novak Djokovic has been branded an 'evil Bond villain' in a stunning outburst from a commentator on Channel Seven after he was booed off the court in disgraceful scenes at the Australian Open on Friday. The superstar had already made headlines during the tournament when he boycotted an on-court interview with host broadcaster Channel Nine after presenter Tony Jones mocked him in front of chanting Serbian fans - and now he has been given another blast on live TV.

Body language expert Dr Louise Mahler was appearing on Seven's Morning Show earlier this week when she brought up the 24-time grand slam champion while discussing what Australian Open stars revealed about themselves during the tournament. After praising Alex de Minaur for working hard and smiling while trying to win his home slam, Mahler went off on a wild tangent about the former world No.1, bringing up his Slavic background as she branded his behaviour 'evil'.

'Then you've got Djokovic ... he reminds me of one of the evil characters in James Bond. He's tall, he's Slavic, he has all the awards behind him, he stands - and when he does his interview, he leans his head forwards, he shields his eyes,' she told hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies.

'And then he does something on court that he also does in interviews: he keeps his head still and then he moves his eyes, and you just see a lot of white. Body language expert Dr Louise Mahler (pictured) left Morning Show host Kylie Gillies scrambling to set the record straight as she branded Djokovic's behaviour 'evil'.
