Novak Djokovic had a fantastic start in London after he defeated John Isner following a superb performance.
The world no.1 impressed also after the match when he was asked about the special treatment that Roger Federer has on tour following some comments from Julien Benneteau. that has recently complained that Federer often receives a special attention on tour.
Why Roger Federer deserves a special treatment
Showing again his huge class, Djokovic commented
“That’s debatable. At the end of the day, in a way he deserves the special treatment, he’s six times Australian Open champion and arguably the best player ever. If he doesn’t have it, who will? I really don’t see a strong argument there.
I do see Julien’s point. But you also have to see Federer is a driving force of tennis in terms of revenue and attention. Julien and guys like him are also benefitting because of Roger and what he’s done for the sport.”
and Isner…
John Isner agreed 100% with Djokovic to add
“If anything, they maybe should get more special treatment because those guys, the top players, have made other players below them a lot of money. It’s like the Tiger Woods effect in golf. So that is how you can look at a guy like Roger. He is men’s tennis in my opinion. So he deserves everything and more that he’s ever had.”
Nice to see this.
