“Unnecessary”: Opponent Unhappy With Novak Djokovic’s Behaviour During Tokyo Olympics 2020 Mixed Doubles Clash
During the match, Djokovic landed a free overhead smash on Marcelo’s turned back. Moreover, he also celebrated empathetically in front of Brazilian technicians, making Marcelo uncomfortable.
Previously, Djokovic had talked to the press about the Brazilian energy and culture; however, Melo saw a different person on the court. Nevertheless, he accepted that it is a sport while emphasising that it isn’t the right way.
“I was impressed negative way. Being honest, I did not need any. Two days ago, he was doing a video talking about Brazil, energy Brazil and today plays that way. He had a smash he gave on my back, so unnecessary. Anyway, it’s a tennis game. Everyone tries to play the way they want, but I would never do that,” Melo said.
