There is no humor at all by insulting the player and his fans publicly. You are speaking in front of the camera not chanting to yourself privately. There is a huge difference. You are not qualified for this job.
why don't he just admit that his emotions are not supporting Novak and he is anti-Novak from his core and then apologies for the insult and resign, which completes the process instead of covering up with sweet words when his job is in danger, what a hypocrat.
That's not an apology. "If he (Novak) felt…" negates everything. Jones also puts his apology mostly in the passive which negates any taking of responsibility. "The comments were made" not "I made the comments." Such a dip.
He said something funny, Nole fan boys 🤫
🤡💩
Longest apology i ever listened to, thanks for gifting Novak his 25th
All the butthurt from people is hilarious. "Novak is overrated" is obviously banter..taunting the crowd who couldn't hear him. It's a joke and totally consistent for how TJ presents sports on TV. People who don't know this, were understandably offended, but there's really nothing in this.

omg relax he was joking good lord
U can’t have banter like that on TV. Maybe u can try it in a Pub, but u can’t be shocked if u get a little “Archie Slap”
Disrespect!
We all make mistakes because we are human beings. However, when you make a mistake and realize it, you must apologize in a proper way. That is exactly what we must do. In this case, TJ made a horrible mistake, and everyone agrees that he did. Nevertheless, he still remains consistent with cowardly excuses instead of an apology. Because of this person, I am on the verge of developing a negative bias against Australian journalists.
This guy should lose his job. Saying Djokovic is overrated is just disrespectful.
You don’t banter with people you have never spoke to before
Bro just apologize. Stop trying to dodge it. Also not sure how saying kick him out would be humorous or an extension of humor in any way
Worst apology.
Shame on you
This is the worst way to accept a mistake. ARROGANT
Trying to sugarcoat the disrespect he showed to the Serbian fans also😂 you're not fooling anybody we know you despise them and Djokovic for his political views, wouldn't dare to disrespect Feder like that thoo
This isn't an apology, it's a narrative of excuses. Only an unreserved apology would be sufficient. Jones knows the Australian media establishment will support this. Shows the true Aussie culture.
Everything is soft nowdays so we got ppl like him behaving the way they do. Lowlife should be fired
wait you still mean what you said how can you make an apology then?And also you calling somebody that won australian open 10 times….Shamefull tbh go watch and make biased comments from your home and dont inuslt all the fans and the Goat and then make a fake apology,if this is some serious television they would sack him instabtly but yeah ofc they are not
We all know who Djokovic is – a brilliant tennis player – Tony Jones, who is he? He's a most untalented commentator – I'd never heard of him and hope I never hear or see him again – he's a rude, horrible man. If he thinks that's humour well, nobody else does.
I'm not in the Djokovic camp, but we all needed to hear a proper apology for that nasty comment that nobody liked.
Had to go and watch it because most people like to just complain for the sake of complaining and blown out of proportion.
That being said he obviously wasn’t joking and it wasn’t banter, he seems like a prick, he obviously doesn’t like Novak or the Serbians he shouldn’t be a representative if he can’t stay professional. Easy decision to have him removed.
Tony Jones is pathetic. Why do Channel 9, Channel 7 and the ABC turn off their comments? They are weak and out of touch with what decent people think. Get rid of him and the mainstream media rubbish.
Small sole.
What a disgrace, what's he doing in the broadcasting team?
Don’t worry Tony you have the Goat all the inspiration he needed to rub it in Australia’s face once more
You shuld be fierd!!!!!!!
such a lowlife and such sheepish talk. classic bully caught red handed
Gracias estimado…prendiste a novak en llamas.
Sisaj budžu torima!
Get him fired, he is an embarrassment
Just fools and horses,clean the shit of the streets,,Thats job for you, my "friend"
It does not sound an apology at all. Why the world is now filled with these kind of people? Are people in Australia all like this man?
Tony, you deserve to be sacked and banned!
This is anything but apology, sack him.
🎶 Tony Jones is a has been, kick him out from Channel 9! 🎵
Under no circumstances is this acceptable conduct of a TV presenter and as a result should be an example to the world of tennis, right of equality and non discrimination in accordance with our AG and global media.
YOU ARE THE BEST REPRESENTATIVE OF A ZERO-MAN IN JANUARY 2025….BLA BLA BLA…SAY YOURE SORRY, WE GET YOUR PRETENCE MILES AWAY…SHAME ON YOU💙🇬🇷🧿🐬
Tony Baloney.
Novak Djokovic is a global superstar. Why do Australians mistreat a person who has showcased such great skill in Australia & around the world? I don't understand it. Any other country in the world would welcome Novak with open arms.
Bad actor 🤮
what a jerk
You grovelling plank
Apologizing without saying " I am sorry. Please forgive me", is fake,unremorseful, and dishonest.
FAKE!
That wasn't even an apology
What a terrible guy he is. Shame he is still there at AO. Money speaks
Tony Jones you are an absolute looossserrrrr
