Srdjan Djokovic (60) is still pissed off. His son’s disqualification from the US Open last year, when Novak Djokovic (33) accidentally hit a linesman with the ball, continues to bite him.
“I don’t support what happened,” says Papa Djokovic, the B92 announcer. «It was an accident, a woman was injured. It happened to Federer, Nadal and others, but unlike Novak, they were not disqualified. “
For Srdjan Djokovic it is clear: the world of tennis lacks respect for his son.
“It’s hard to be friends when fighting for titles and money”
In previous interviews, Djokovic senior had claimed that Roger Federer (39) was hostile to “Djoker”. “I don’t notice it anymore,” he says now. “The three (Federer, Djokovic and Nadal; editor’s note) are the three best players ever, they pushed each other. It’s hard to be friends with someone you’re fighting for, for the number 1, for the titles, for the money. “
Senior Djokovic still has a council against the Basel area tennis master. “I hope Federer plays another five or six years,” he says. “So that the difference in direct duels is even greater.”
In direct comparison, Djokovic is ahead of Federer
In fact, Djokovic is 27-23 in heads-up matches with Roger Federer, and Djokovic has won seven of the last ten matches against Federer. If he continues ahead of these statistics, that would one day be an argument in the debate about who is the best tennis player in history.
Djokovic also leads Rafael Nadal (34), where the youngest of the “Big 3” leads with 29 to 27 victories. In direct comparison to Federer, Nadal has the advantage at 24-16, but the Swiss won six of the last ten games. Nadal’s last victory over the tennis master dates back to 2019. At Roland-Garros, of course, on clay. (Red)
