The family of Novak Djokovic and the president of his home country say Australia’s crackdown on the tennis star is part of a political agenda.

“This has nothing to do with sports, this is a political agenda. Novak is the best player and the best athlete in the world, but several hundred million people from the West can’t stomach that,” Djokovic’s father, Srdjan, told reporters in Belgrade on Thursday.
