"As much as Roger Federer is a great champion, he is also not a good man" - When Novak Djokovic's father claimed that the Swiss "attacked" his son

 

Srdjan Djokovic's claim that Roger Federer "attacked" his son, Novak Djokovic, when he was a teenager is a contentious statement. The dynamics and interactions between players during their careers can lead to varying interpretations and opinions. It's worth noting that perspectives on past events in sports can differ, and statements like these can be viewed with consideration for the context and individual viewpoints involved.

Srdjan Djokovic's statement suggesting that Roger Federer knew a better player was emerging in Novak and expressing the opinion that Federer, despite being a great champion, was not a good man, reflects the competitive narratives that can arise in tennis. Such remarks contribute to the ongoing rivalry narratives between players and their families. It's important to consider that statements like these are subjective and may be influenced by personal perspectives and competitive dynamics.

"15 years ago he attacked my son when he was still young at 18-19 years old, he knew that someone better than him was coming. I said then that he was a great champion, the best at that time, but as much as he is a great champion, he is also not a good man," 

Novak Djokovic's father said.

 The 2006 Davis Cup incident involving Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer during a match against Stan Wawrinka led to tensions and public exchanges. Federer accusing Djokovic of faking injuries and using strong language like "a joke" reflects the intensity of competition and the emotions that can arise during Davis Cup play. Such incidents contribute to the complex dynamics in professional tennis, especially during team competitions like the Davis Cup.

"You know I don't trust his injuries. I mean I'm serious, and I think that he's a joke when he comes down to these injuries," 

           the Swiss said.

   It sounds like a thrilling match between Federer and Djokovic, contributing to Switzerland's qualification. Too bad they faced an early exit in the World Group against Australia.
