- Scot hopes tournament can move on from Djokovic saga

“It’s a tough one for [Djokovic],” said the Scot, speaking moments after the decision to cancel the world No 1’s visa and deport him from Australia was upheld by the courts. “Obviously, it’s not ideal for the tournament, either. I just think, overall, the whole situation has been bad for the sport.”
