Aus Open director tells Novak Djokovic's family to 'be careful' after political storm

"His father doesn't particularly support war, and they're very focused on supporting peace." It appears that no final decision has been made on whether Srdjan will return to his son's box on Sunday for the Australian Open final.

But Djokovic admitted he hopes his dad can be around in some capacity as he bids to win his 10th Australian Open title. "Let's see. Of course, it wasn't, again, nice not having it in the box," he said.

"It was a decision we made together. I didn't know how things were going to go, I guess. Yeah, I hope I got it. I hope it feels good in court because I would I would like to have it there for the final."
