Novak Djokovic defeated Bosnian American-born Aleksandar Kovacevic in three sets (6:3, 6:2, 7:6 (7:1)) and is in the second round at the French Open. A perfect start for placed number three. The match in the first round does not give rise to much discussion, but an action by Djokovic after the match does.
The 22-time Grand Slam winner made a political statement about the Kosovo conflict with Serbia, which has worsened in recent months and days. On a camera lens he writes: “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia – stop the violence.”
A delicate statement. Because: Political or religious expressions are prohibited at Roland Garros.
Djokovic’s message was received differently on the internet. Some support the position, others argue it could be a provocation – even calling for disqualification for false propaganda. The tournament management has not yet commented on this. Is there a penalty for the 22-time Grand Slam champion? (par)
