After the release of the Djokovic photos, Tennis Australia warned players and their teams against interacting with prohibited flags.

“A small group of people displayed inappropriate flags and symbols and threatened security guards following a match on Wednesday night and were evicted. One patron is now assisting police with unrelated matters,” said Tennis Australia in a statement.

“Players and their teams have been briefed and reminded of the event policy regarding flags and symbols and to avoid any situation that has the potential to disrupt. We continue to work closely with event security and law enforcement agencies.”

The Ukrainian ambassador to Australia and New Zealand, Vasyl Myroshnychenko, tweeted of the Russian supporters at the open “it’s a full package. Among the Serbian flags, there is: a Russian flag, Putin, Z-symbol, so-called Donetsk People’s Republic flag. It’s such a disgrace …”.
