Rafa Nadal entered the court and the gentleman with the large Serbian flag rose from his front-row seat. It seemed there could be trouble.

A prominent V and A could be seen beneath its crumpled emblem, probably part of a rendering of Novak in black, capital letters. Here was the moment tournament organisers had feared. The Djokovic backlash. Serbian exiles, anti-vaxxers, the crowd of troublemakers said to be making a beeline for the Melbourne Park complex. Extra security had been laid on, but it was a large site. Nobody could police every acre.

Nadal may be the greatest beneficiary of Djokovic’s expulsion if he lands Grand Slam No 21.

 

The gentleman with the flag turned to his compatriot, and gave the secret signal. He immediately reached in his holdall and pulled out . . .

the sun cream. After all, it was hot out there. The grey clouds had burned off at last and there were shadows and a strong mid-afternoon warmth. Can’t be too careful.

So sunscreen liberally applied, the flag was neatly folded away and Novak’s No 1 fan sat down to watch the tennis.

 

The TV crews hovering outside for the riot slated to follow Djokovic’s deportation went home with little to titillate let alone scandalise.
