Tennis News : Lajovic on Djokovic exemption row: 'we always support each other'

Serbian tennis star Dusan Lajovic refused to be drawn into the medical exemption row engulfing compatriot Novak Djokovic on Wednesday, but did describe media speculation concerning the world number one as 'he says, she says'.

Speaking in Sydney where a Serbian quartet consisting of himself, Filip Krajinovic, Nikola Cacic and Matej Sabanov are competing in the ATP Cup, the 31 year-old world number 33 said the team had not been in contact with Djokovic, who is hoping to defend his Australian Open men's singles title, but he has their support.

"We are all heading to the Australian Open with the same goal, to score the best results," he said. "We always support each other, there is no dilemma about this between us."
