However, the whole world is closely following the events, and the Australian Open has now come under fire from the fans reacting to the situation.

The fans are going after the latest post of the first Grand Slam of the season on its official Instagram account, where they are calling for a boycott of the tournament, referring to the decisions made in the last few days as disgraceful.

The competition should start on Monday, Novak is the No. 1 seed, but it is not clear whether he will be allowed to play. We will see if other tennis players will take any steps and support the world's best.
