Srdjan Djokovic once again created headlines for the wrong reasons as he made some questionable comments about his son.
Novak Djokovic's father frequently makes comments on his son, and most of the time, those comments are dubious. His most recent remarks appeared in a recent interview with K1 television, in which he claimed that his son was prevented from traveling to New York because he had 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, 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 200 or more 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."
He then added this:
"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."
