@australianopen Djokovic's dad: "Long live Russia!"

Four Australian Open spectators were detained by police after waving banned Russian flags and threatening security at Melbourne Park on Wednesday evening.

During Novak Djokovic’s quarter-final victory over Russia’s Andrey Rublev at Rod Laver Arena, a patron was spotted taking off their shirt to reveal the pro-war “Z” symbol associated with support of the invasion of Ukraine.

Djokovic inadvertently signed a shirt for the spectator after the straight sets 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 victory.
