Novak Djokovic gets his apologies and is ready to focus on Carlos Alcaraz at the Australian Open

Novak Djokovic refused to participate in his usual on-court interview after his fourth-round victory over Jiri Lehecka, citing Channel Nine's role as the tournament's official broadcaster.
Tony Jones, a Channel Nine broadcaster, apologized to Djokovic for his 'insulting and offensive' comments made during a live segment at the Australian Open.
The Serbian Council of Australia called for Jones to be sacked, labeling his comments 'offensive, racist and only serving to incite further discrimination of Australian-Serbs.'
Djokovic acknowledged the public apology and is now focused on facing Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.
