I am watching Djokovic v Medvedev and am dismayed and angered by the commentators..particularly Todd W.who keep on referring to Djokovic as Novac yet never use Daniil for the Russian…glaringly obvious and disturbing.

Commentators….You know Djokovics’ name is Novac…you use it nearly all the time….what about using Daniil…at least some times…glaringly obvious and very poor form.
