Shelton explodes against the press: "What happened to Novak is not an isolated case"

At the end of his usual press conference, Ben Shelton took a few minutes to share some words about the situation between Novak Djokovic and a Channel 9 presenter at this 2025 Australian Open who mocked the Serbian: "I have been a bit surprised this week by the way players have been treated by the media. I don't think the presenter who mocked Novak is an isolated case. I have seen it with different people, not just towards me. For example, with Learner Tien, when he beat Medvedev. I think his on-court interview was disrespectful and embarrassing.

There have been certain comments about me in those on-court interviews by a couple of people, saying that Monfils was old enough to be my father, maybe he is, or that it didn't matter who I played against, that no one would cheer for me. It may be true, but I don't think it's respectful coming from someone I don't know. I think broadcasters should help the sport grow, for us to enjoy a great moment. There is a lot of negativity, and I believe it's something that needs to change."

Navarro, regarding the controversy with Swiatek: "It's difficult to blame her, the rules should be changed"

Emma Navarro has been the protagonist of a controversy today at the 2025 Australian Open. During a press conference, the American stated that it didn't affect her in the match, but she made harsh statements against the system: "I think they should have let me see the point even if I had played it. It happened very fast, I don't know if she noticed or not, but in the end, it's up to the chair umpire to call it. It's difficult to blame anyone, it was complicated. The rules should be different, we should be able to see the play afterwards and make a decision."
