In a French Open tournament without Rafael Nadal, Serbian star Novak Djokovic is a favorite to win the Coupe des Mousquetaires.
Four days into his journey toward that goal, the 22-time Grand Slam champion was put on notice for a message he wrote on a television camera lens. "Kosovo is the heart of Serbia. Stop the violence," he wrote after defeating Aleksandar Kovacevic on Monday.
On France 2's broadcast, French Sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera warned that Djokovic’s message was "not appropriate." She added that French Open director Amelie Mauresmo spoke with him to emphasize the importance of "neutrality" on the court.
