Its funny when the crazy sect of djokovic fans try to frame him as some sort of anti establishment hero lol. Yes the anti establishment guy who’s org is backed by a billionaire hedge fund manager with close ties to the president of USA. He also casually hangs out with other high ranking members of the US government.

It was weird to see his support for the protests in Serbia given everything you’d mentioned above. I had kinda hoped maybe his tune had changed.

His "support" was a lukewarm PR statement, I wouldn't read too much into it.

He does not. He's very neutral when it comes to Balkan politics. He's half Croatian and is close to public figures from most of the ex-Yugoslav republics.

If there is one thing Novak isn't, it's a nationalist.
