Srdjan Djokovic wanted to charge against the attitude of the Wimbledon public in the final in which his son Novak Djokovic won Roger Federer, the favorite of the stands, to add his fifth Wimbledon title. In statements collected by the Serbian medium Blic, the father of world number 1 lamented the spectacle of the stands of the All England Club. "The game was played in a hostile environment, the spectators went against Djokovic. I want to say something: Wimbledon is one of the male tournaments where attention is paid to behavior, to fair play, but that day did not exist. The spectators did not count. with the famous Serbian claw and since they didn't encourage Djokovic and Federer, they gave Novak an extra boost. "
Djokovic's father also said that in the last 10 years his son has been better than Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer. "In the last 10 years Djokovic has been the best tennis player in the world. A year ago I was in 20-12 with Federer in Grand Slam titles. Now it's 20-16. We'll talk again in a year."
Srdjan Djokovic also talked about his son's beginnings and how as a child he dreamed of being a tennis Top-20. "As a child he told me that he wanted to be in the Top-20 and I said 'You are talented enough to reach the Top-20 and if you want to go for number 1, I will always be there.' Sometimes I had to be tough on him ".
Finally, he praised his son's attitude towards his rivals and highlighted the merit of his son's achievements in Serbia, a country that Djokovic has once again placed on the map after the bloody Balkan War. "Djokovic's attitude towards rivals, organizers and tennis is indisputable. He is always grateful to his rivals, congratulates them and this is not often seen. He always does. He never has a bad word for anyone and treats everyone with Respect, why, I think it's because we come from a small and poor environment, foreign media represent us as horrible, murderers and rapists, and Novak is the opposite, it is impossible for him to be so pleasant, attentive and successful from a humiliated Serbia, demonstrating that our civilization is still alive and that we are proud to be Serbs.
