Srdjan Djokovic makes headlines again with most recent comments about son Novak
ATP
Srdjan Djokovic once again created headlines for the wrong reasons after he made some questionable comments about his son, Novak Djokovic.
Novak Djokovic's father frequently makes comments about his son, and it's not a rarity if those comments are controversial in some way, as Srdjan isn't afraid to be brutally honest.
His most recent remarks appeared in an interview with K1 television, in which he claimed that his son was prevented from traveling to New York because he demonstrated that he was the best at Wimbledon.
"I want to say that Novak is not only the best tennis player, but also a man. It's a stunning enigma to me how they didn't let him play in Melbourne and New York, but they let him play in London."
"Here, I don't know. He probably showed them that he is the best there, so they stopped him from going to New York. And those points from London were not accepted."
Conveniently, Srdjan Djokovic refused to admit that his son did not comply with a law that the nation has the right to execute and that none of the over 200 players who competed at the US Open this year objected to. He also alluded that nobody will lobby for Djokovic at the Australian Open.
"Of course, they will not lobby because he is the best tennis player in the world. Let them do what they think they need to do, he will definitely be the best athlete of all time."
Srdjan Djokovic also revealed that his son plans to continue competing for two more years. Although he believes Novak could compete for much longer, he thinks he won't do it.
"Novak plans to play for two more years. The way Federer has played in recent years, because of some other things that don't have a connection with sports, my son can play as much as he wants. But he won't do it because he's a Serb, because he's a Djokovic."
