Djokovic referring to criticism from Eurosport over bathroom break as 'lynching' uncalled for according to Roddick
ATP
Andy Roddick is not a fan of the way Djokovic referred to the media when he criticised Eurosport for the way they handled his bathroom break saga.
Roddick is now part of the tennis media working primarily for the Tennis Channell and he was not a fan of how Djokovic branded Eurosport's coverage of his bathroom break saga at the Australian Open as 'lynching'. Roddick made the comments on his Twitter profile as he so often does firstly praising Djokovic for the way he handled the annoying fan:
"Novak handled this as well as he could have. Was clear about explaining this issue, and calm when asking how ref was gonna help w a solution."
He then compared it to the words he choose for Eurosport calling them very very bad:

"And as well as he handled the above situation on video, his word choice of lynching when referring someone writing a bad article about going pee pee, was really really bad."
After a fan responded to Roddick he explained:
"Comparing criticism for a pee pee break to a public death without trial is melodramatic whenever you live. I understand labeling something woke is easier than arguing on the merits. Simply, criticism for a tinkle isn’t comparable to a public lynching."

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
