A ruckus erupted at the Australian Open after fans waved Russian flags following a match between Serbia’s Novak Djokovic and Russia’s Andrey Rublev. Not just Russian Flags, but President Vladimir Putin’s pictures and fans with ‘Z’ T-Shirt were also spotted.



After the commotion, four people were detained and questioned by authorities for carrying a Russian flag bearing the image of President Vladimir Putin. The crackdown comes after the organisers of the event, Tennis Australia, introduced a ban on the display of Russian and Belarusian flags.
