Rafael Nadal has hit back at Srdjan Djokovic for the remarks he made regarding Nadal this week, which he was evidently irked at.
Novak’s father stated in Serbian that Rafa had been a close friend of Novak in the past, but explained that the Spaniard’s attitude towards the world No. 1 had soured when he stopped dominating their rivalry.
Srdjan also made disparaging remarks about Roger Federer, claiming that he was a great tennis player but perhaps the opposite as a person.
Speaking to reporters on Monday at DC Inter Manacor, Nadal reacted to the comments:
“Djokovic’s father should talk to his son,” he said. “My relationship with him has always been very good and it still is. I’ve lost many games with him, and he with me and have never had any problems.” – Live Tennis
