MELBOURNE, Jan 22 ― World number one doubles player Mate Pavic called on crowds at the Australian Open to be more respectful after he and partner Nikola Mektic were knocked out in the second round by home duo Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis.
The Australians prevailed in straight sets against the top ranked duo yesterday evening amid a raucous and at times heated atmosphere at Melbourne Park. Pavic's comments come after Daniil Medvedev criticised sections of the Australian Open crowd following his singles win over Kyrgios on Thursday.“Obviously they cheer for Aussies. It wouldn't hurt them to show some respect to all opponents, to other players.“But like I said, it wouldn't hurt them to show some respect.”
Pavic and Mektic lost the first set 10-8 in a tiebreak before the Australians took the second set 6-3 to advance to the third round, to the delight of the boisterous crowd in the Kia Arena.“We barely survived yesterday just to fight another day. It looks like, just the guys played really well. They're a nasty team to beat here and that's it. We just fell short.” ― Reuters
