    Djokovic’s sponsor Lacoste to ‘review events’ around Australian deportation

    I don't think Lacoste really worries about the Serbian market - its not like EVERYONE IN SERBIA is buying Lacoste. So what if the Lacoste shop in Belgrade is firebombed - multiple shops have been looted elsewhere and they didn't bat an eye. Nike wouldn't hire Djokovic - no "street" cred and...
