"Is this a real magazine?" - Jelena Djokovic slams magazine for Djokovic criticism

A new US-based tennis magazine called out Novak Djokovic about his late pullout from Montreal and Jelena Djokovic responded.

Novak Djokovic withdrew from the Montreal Masters yesterday only a day before the draw was set to be out despite everybody knowing that Djokovic won't take part in it for weeks. Since a Canadian Minister confirmed a few weeks ago that Djokovic won't be able to enter the country without vaccinations, it's been known that Djokovic won't be able to play in Montreal.

However the Serbian remained on the entry list for the event in case something changed but it didn't so he pulled out. He did a very similar thing with Indian Wells earlier this year pulling out only after the draw was made creating chaos in the draw. His decision to do so was heavily criticized by many in the tennis community so he changed that.
