Crowd becomes an issue during men’s final
This article really doesn’t talk about what I saw go on during the men’s final in the various plays boxes. First of all, someone was actually crying. Then security was hauled out several times to “guard” the Djokovic family. Then, a few members of his family left. Much more dramatic than you’ll see in the papers.
In Sunday’s men’s final between Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Novak Djokovic, there was Didier Tsonga, who had just flown in from France, punching boxer-style right crosses into the air at Rod Laver Arena when his son won the first set.
Interesting, considering his son has a strong resemblance to a young Muhammad Ali.
Earlier, Djokovic’s father, Srdjan, dressed in a white t-shirt with the letter «N» on it, jumped and yelled and screamed in support of his son.
Then he spoke with deputy tournament director Peter Johnston, complaining about overzealous fans sitting behind him and his family, including Djokovic’s two younger brothers. PR Inside
