Jelena Djokovic speaks out on the controversy between Osaka and Cirstea: "It's a lack of respect"
Jelena Djokovic spoke out clearly and decisively about the tense situation that occurred at the 2026 Australian Open between Naomi Osaka and Sorana Cirstea: "I am surprised that it is not considered a hindrance. Between serves, when the audience applauds or shouts, the chair umpire requests no shouting between serves, as it bothers the player. The point is not over. Sorana missed her first serve and is focused on getting the second one right, there is a small pause. It is also disrespectful to applaud someone's first serve mistake. I am surprised that the chair umpire/Naomi thought it was fair! Were there any rule changes that I missed?"
