Tennis Australia boss Craig Tiley has boasted that his team “has done an unbelievable job” in handling the Novak Djokovic saga that is dominating the buildup to the Australian Open.
A video of Tiley addressing his staff was leaked to the Herald Sun, ahead of Djokovic’s day in court on Monday where he will fight for the right to defend his AO crown.
Tiley said he would reveal more once the “pending lawsuit” from Djokovic was resolved.

“I want to assure you that we are in a position where we would like to share with you all the information, and we will,” Tiley said.
“We’ve chosen at this point not to be very public with it simply because there is a pending lawsuit related to entry into Australia.
“Once that has run its course, we’ll be able to share more with you.
