- Serb makes Kosovo reference in first-round win
- Norrie unhappy at umpire during his victory
Novak Djokovic has sparked a potential political row after writing the phrase “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia” while also calling for peace after his 6-3, 6-2, 7-6(1) win against the American Aleksandar Kovacevic on Monday.
Djokovic used the customary post-match camera signing to write the message: “Kosovo is [heart symbol] Serbia. Stop violence.” Later on Monday, Djokovic reposted a photo of his message on to his Instagram story.
