Sorry. That has nothing to do with the ITF or tennis. That was a CRIME being filmed.
That man does not have to face the "justice of tennis". He must face the justice of his country (I have no idea where they are).
THEN, the ITF can ban him for life.

The incident in the video took place in Belgrade but the father and daughter are apparently Chinese.
The First Municipal Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade reacted to the brutal violence that was published on social networks, where a father can be seen physically abusing his daughter on the tennis court.

In cooperation with the inspectors of the Palilula Police Station and the Department for Foreigners, the identity of the participants of the event was determined, in fact, that they were Chinese citizens with temporary residence in Serbia.

Bearing in mind that the father, who is suspected of having committed the crime of domestic violence, is not available to the state authorities, a search warrant was issued by order of the deputy on duty.

When and if he is found, the prosecutor's office will immediately take the necessary measures with the aim of further processing, about which the public will be informed.

Well, one thing in which this man is correct: that is ALLOWED in China. There is indeed a cultural difference between Chinese culture and the rest in how to treat women, which reaches into this extreme.
Now, he is not in China. So I hope that they investigate, because rest assured that the wife at home also gets abused on a regular basis (and will not say anything to the police), and that then they throw him in prison for the maximum stated by Serbian laws. And make sure that he gets a lengthy probation because, once he is released, he will abuse his daughter again.

Yes because it's her fault for getting him into trouble. If she hadn't been disobedient...

I hope that Tennis Channel sticks around as it currently is. Remember what it was like when WTA was off in Siberia (BeIN)? Not wanting a repeat of that.

But if Netflix or Amazon (they do tennis coverage in UK) could get the streaming rights from TC Plus, that would be wonderful.

Novak Djokovic leaves no stone unturned in pursuit of greatness, but secrecy with drink mixture draws scrutiny


By Matias Grez, CNN


In his pursuit of greatness, it has been well documented that Novak Djokovic has left no stone unturned.

From changing his diet to incorporating meditation into his training, the Serb is constantly trying to find that extra edge to improve his chances on the tennis court.

His latest efforts, however, have drawn criticism.

In a video posted on social media, Djokovic’s physio Ulises Badio is seen preparing a drink in the stands during Saturday’s semifinal win over Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Paris Masters.

Badio is then shielded by two other men as he finishes preparing the drink, before handing it to a ball girl to pass onto Djokovic.

The incident has been described as looking “amazingly dodgy” and “bizarre” by two journalists on Twitter.

However, Djokovic’s wife Jelena has launched a vigorous defense of the 21-time grand slam champion on social media.

“I don’t see anything dodgy,” Jelena Djokovic wrote in one reply. “In fact, I see people trying to be private about their business in a world where everyone feels like they have every right to point a camera at you whenever they want.

“Apparently, wanting/trying to be private makes you dodgy nowadays.”


“Sit a bit in silence’


In one Twitter interaction, a user suggested Djokovic hire a PR agency to help avoid these types of backlash, an idea which was given short shrift from the tennis star’s wife.

“He will talk when he is ready to talk,” Jelena replied. “This whole nonsense about making people speak about something they are not ready because OTHERS are unpatient (sic) is absurd.

“Sit a bit in silence. Mind yourself more. Not everything you see is controversial. It could be private. Is that allowed?”

Djokovic was eventually defeated by unseeded Danish teenager Holger Rune 3-6 6-3 7-5 in the final of the Paris Masters.

It’s not the first time Djokovic has drawn curiosity over a drinks bottle.

During his victorious Wimbledon run earlier this year, Djokovic was seen inhaling from a drinks bottle. When questioned about it in the post-match press conference, the world No. 8 laughed it off and said it was a “magic potion.”

“It’s going to come out as one of the supplement, let’s say, lines that I’m doing right now with drink and a few other things,” he said.

“You’ll try it and you’ll let me know how it feels. You might win Wimbledon.”

^^ Hadn't heard about this, but it was on CNN of all places when I just happened to be in the app.

If you want to read the full article, click the link. There's additional information about the Aussie Open that is already known by most tennis fans that is unrelated to the drink story.

I saw the think about the drink - seems like much ado about nothing in that trainers mix drinks for players in the stands & hand them over to the ball kids on a regular basis - particularly if the match is extended. As to the secrecy of the drink I wonder if that's just Nole playing with the media - it created a story.

For someone who wants everyone to like and love him he's always doing something dodgy to make fans side eye him. And Jelena doesn't help matters.
