In the last week Srdjan Djokovic, Nole’s father, had an unfortunate interview where he accused Rafa and Roger of not being real sportsmen.
This allegation made many people unhappy and surprised. In fact, it is well known that Nole’s family is not in great relationship with Roger Federer, but they have never had any problem so far with Nadal. Roger didn’t comment on the interview. Rafa had a little remark, but he wasn’t very hapy. And Nole?
Nole: I cannot be held responsible for his comments
“This has been a particular situation. I’m really sorry that his words have caused so much attention, and also that they might have hurt my colleagues in some way, and with whom I have good and fair relationships.
But as unfortunate as it sounds, I cannot be held responsible for his deeds and for his words because everybody is entitled to their opinion, even my father, and I love him so much, and respect him,” said Nole
“He’s helped me so much in my life to arrive where I am but sometimes, you know, people come up with their opinions as they like and me, I have to say that I didn’t have any influence on that. And as I said, I cannot be responsible for it,” he added.
We might have an interesting Djokovic-Nadal semifinal in Montreal… especially if Nole’s father will be there.
