'Why am I seeing a Chetnik flag amongst the Serbian crowd at the Tsitsipas vs Djokovic match? Are ultra fascist symbols allowed in the Australian Open now?' Sophie Mak asked.

The Chetniks were Serbian ultranationalists who committed war crimes during World War II and are widely considered to be a far-right group.
Tennis fans took to to social media to criticise the officials for allowing the flag to be held up at Melbourne Park.
'@AustralianOpen @TennisAustralia still hasn't removed that fascist or confiscated their flag. A total failure and a disgrace.
