Before Novak Djokovic and Alex de Minaur played yesterday at the Australian Open, there was controversy as Serbian fans saw their flags confused with Russian ones that are banned from this tournament.
The security opened a booklet illustrated with the flags in question and compared it to that of the Russia one with Slovenia, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Croatia, and Paraguay even seen as resembling the Russian flag.
