Djokovic prend ses distances vis-à-vis des projets de protestation à Roland-Garros

Novak Djokovic a clarifié qu'il n'est impliqué dans aucune rumeur de protestation des joueurs concernant les prix à Roland-Garros. Le joueur de 39 ans a fait ces commentaires lors d'une conférence de presse organisée le jour de son anniversaire.

Djokovic a déclaré qu'il ne faisait partie ni du processus, ni du plan, ni de la prise de décision concernant une éventuelle protestation. Il a ajouté qu'il continuerait de défendre les joueurs à tous les niveaux, y compris ceux les moins bien classés. Ces commentaires interviennent alors que des rapports indiquent que plusieurs joueurs de haut niveau envisagent des actions telles que la réduction de la durée des conférences de presse et un accès limité aux médias pendant le tournoi de Roland-Garros.
