Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic didn’t have a great relationship in the past. In 2006, Roger criticized Nole for taking too many pauses during a match against Wawrinka in a Davis Cup tie (Djokovic couldn’t breathe properly). After so much time, the world no.1 doesn’t hold a grudge against Roger, but his father Srdjan can’t forget that episode.
Srdjan. He disrespected Nole…
During a recent interview “When Serbia played Switzerland in Geneva, Novak was just 19 a,t the time. He had a deviation of his sinuses and couldn’t breathe. He had a problem with staying in long matches and long points. And Federer tried in every possible way to disrespect him because of his breathing problem. He showed himself to be the best player in the world but not as a good person at that time. Nobody has ever treated Novak like this.”
… why he is still playing?
Then Srdjan added “I don’t understand why Federer is still playing tennis. Why does he still play? He’s already 34.”
Not best friends…
