Novak Djokovic was criticized by Marcelo Melo who said that Djokovic provoked him during their mixed doubles match.
The Brazilian player was left disappointed by Djokovic and his behaviour during their mixed doubles Olympics match. The Brazilian player explained how Novak's gestures left a negative impression:
“(Novak Djokovic’s gestures) left a negative impression on me, to be quite honest. Of
course, he entered the court, he has to do whatever it takes to win,
but he has to have certain limits. A lot of people will think about it,
whatever you want and that’s it, but I don’t want to create
controversy.”
Despite Melo not wanting to create controversy he crated it as the news made the rounds around the globe. Djokovic himself was asked about Melo's comments and the Serbian was left confused:
“Melo said I was provoking him? Seriously?"
Djokovic then simply said:
"I really don’t have nothing to say about that."
The Serbian did not add anything else but he was visibly annoyed by the revelation.
