We have tough comments from Nole’s father during a recent interview to the Serbian newspaper Kurir about his son’s rivals.
About Rafa
According to Srdjan, while Nole’s attitude with the others is always the same regardless the fact that they are celebrities or not, elderly or youngsters, he doesn’t think that the same applies to Rafa.
Srdjan complains the fact that Nole and Rafa were friends while his son was losing to the Mallorcan, but when things changed Rafa wasn’t as friendly anymore.
About Roger
The comments became harsher and harsher when Srdjan talked about the Swiss Maestro. According to Srdjan, even if Federer may be the best tennis player in history, he is not a great man.
Nole’s father attacked Federer especially for what he said after a Davis Cup tie in Geneva when Roger had an easy win against an allegedly injured Djokovic to comment “You know I don’t trust his injuries, no it’s not funny, I mean I’m serious, and I think that he’s a joke when he comes down to these injuries.”.
There is also a well-documented scene in the Monte Carlo semifinal in 2008 when Roger said to Nole’s family to “shut up”. Also in 2008 Nole’s mother Dijana made a comment saying “The King is Dead”… and the the King.. didn’t like it.
About Murray
Finally Srdjan had some good words about Andy Murray saying that the relationship of the Scott (and his family) with his son is something based on a healthy mutual respect.
It’s a tough life up there…
Here Federer saying to Nole’s family to shut up…
