Australian Open allow Z T-shirt man back into Djokovic match days after police questioning | Tennis | Sport
The American-Serb super fan shown wearing a Z T-shirt on Wednesday was allowed back into the Australian Open tonight after Zoran Pavlovic claimed it was just the initial to his first name.
Four unidentified supporters were evicted by Victoria Police after incidents following the displaying of the banned Russian flag in Melbourne Park.
But the man shown wearing the black T-shirt was allowed to remain in the Rod Laver Arena because he had immediately covered up the shirt when asked. He was then seen as “compliant” with the rules by Tennis Australia and returned to the event tonight.
Former Ukrainian player Alex Dolgopolov, who is now serving in his country’s army, had tweeted an image of Pavlovic wearing the Z T-shirt on Wednesday and wrote: “This guy will get banned for life, at least for all Australian events, right? @AustralianOpen”.
