JAKARTA – World number one Novak Djokovic received a negative stamp from two Australian television presenters. The owner of the 20 grand slam title was judged as a con artist.

The recording of the conversation between the two presenters was leaked to the media. This can happen because they do not realize the camera in front of them is active.

The two presenters in question are Mike Amor and Rebecca Maddern of Seven News Melbourne. They hurled harsh words regarding Djokovic's decision to refuse the COVID-19 vaccine.

"Whatever your point of view, Novak Djokovic is a liar, a sneaky bastard. I don't even think he's COVID positive," Maddern was quoted as saying by Business Insider.

"He gave bullshit excuses. In the end he fell for his own lies, that's what happened, right? That's what happened," Amor said in response to his friend.

According to reports, the conversation between the two hosts took place on a news program for 6 p.m.

Maddern has apologized for leaked footage showing him badmouthing Djokovic during a commercial break. Meanwhile one television executive called the leak "cowardly" and "illegal."

Managing Director Lewis Martin said on Wednesday that Maddern had apologized and the television company he headed was now hunting for the leaker.

"Well, disappointing. It was a private conversation. It was illegally recorded and illegally distributed. I spoke to [Maddern] this morning, and he was very sorry, but at the end of the day, this is a private conversation," he said.

Djokovic is included in the Australian Open 2022 draw on Thursday, 13 January. The draw puts him in the first seed and will face compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic.

The committee continued to include his name although there is still uncertainty about whether the government will cancel the top-seeded visa a second time.

Immigration Minister Alex Hawke is considering using his powers to revoke Djokovic's visa due to concerns about the star's medical exclusion from Australia's COVID-19 vaccination requirements.

The 34-year-old's visa was canceled upon arrival in Melbourne last week. However, he won an appeal in court allowing him to remain in the country.
