While discussing Novak Djokovic’s future, Srdjan Djokovic appeared to take a shot at Roger Federer. Srdjan, when asked about Novak’s chances of competing at the 2023 Australian Open, stated unequivocally that he does not expect tennis authorities to assist the 21-time Grand Slam champion in getting permission to play at Melbourne Park next year. During his appearance on K1 television, Srdjan stated that Novak intends to play high-level tennis for at least two more years. Srdjan appeared to take a shot at Federer while revealing that information. Federer recently retired after not playing much in his final seasons on the Tour.
“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 said as per a report in tennisworldusa.org. “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.”
Djokovic won his seventh Wimbledon title after being denied entry to the Australian Open. Then he was barred from competing in the US Open. Srdjan believes his son was barred from competing at the US Open because he demonstrated who was still the best at Wimbledon.
“I want to say that Novak is not only the best tennis player, but also a man,” he said. “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.”
