  • Novak Djokovic still receiving backlash for this camera message.
  • We're explaining the controversy behind the move.
  • And we're closing out the round of 16 at Roland Garros, who will book their spot in the last eight.
  • We've got your Monday match rundown.
  • The break, it starts right now.
  • What's up everyone, Erin Coscarelli here, you are watching The Break.
  • Now after Novak Djokovic won his second round match, he wrote this message on the camera lens.
  • It reads, quote, Well, that statement resulted in a ton of backlash.
  • The situation a little complicated, so here's a brief breakdown.
  • Novak Djokovic is Serbian.
  • Well, back in 2008, Kosovo declared independence from Serbia and it's recognized by over 100 countries.
  • Serbia, not one of those countries.
  • Djokovic adding that Kosovo is the heart of Serbia, which could imply that the territory belongs to his home country.
  • So here's what Novak said about the statement following the match.
  • I'm aware that a lot of people would disagree, but it is what it is.
  • It's something that I stand for.
  • So that's all, you know, drama free Grand Slam.
  • I don't think it can happen for me.
  • You know, I guess that drives me as well.
  • Well, tensions in Kosovo have risen in recent weeks following a move by the Kosovo prime minister to install Albanian mayors in majority Serbian areas.
  • The majority of Kosovo is controlled by mostly ethnic Albanians.
  • The Kosovo Olympic Committee called for Djokovic to be disciplined for his message, while the French sports minister said in an interview that Novak's statement was, quote, inappropriate and very activist.
  • Well, it's not uncommon for pro tennis players to use their platform to comment on politics.
  • Well, remember, at the Australian Open, we saw Karen Hatchinov send a message of support to Armenians in Azerbaijan.
  • And Russian Andrei Rublev made a public antiwar stance last year as Russia invaded Ukraine.
  • Andy Murray supported Novak's right to speak out on political issues, telling The Telegraph, quote, No athlete should be stopped from freedom of speech.
  • I don't think that's fair.
  • You often hear athletes, journalists and commentators say that sports and politics should mix.
  • However, they do.
  • What do you think?
  • Should athletes continue shedding light on political issues or should sports and politics be separate?
  • Let us know below.
