First topic message reminder :

The heading is a quote from Federer "going postal" at Djoko's family in 2008.

The love-in has not been forgotten, with Djoko's dad saying in a recent interview that Fedal are jealous of Djoko and have not been at all classy since he started winning, although Murray's family are singled out for praise.

Telegraph 31.07.13 wrote:World No 1 Djokovic has been the player to beat over the last couple of seasons, winning five of the eight grand slam finals he has competed in and raising the bar of the men's game.

And it is because of this success that Srdjan believes Federer and Nadal have become sore losers and turned on his son.

Speaking to Serbian newspaper Kurir, Djokovic's father said: "Federer is perhaps still the best tennis player in history, but as a man he's the opposite.

"He attacked Novak at the Davis Cup in Geneva (in 2006), he realised that he was his successor and was trying to discredit him in every way. Novak's success is an amazing thing and something that one cannot understand."

And Srdjan holds the same grudge against Nadal, adding: "Nadal was his best friend while he was winning. When things changed, they were no longer friends. This is not sport. This is what Novak has in him, but others don't."

However, while attacking Federer and Nadal, Srdjan Djokovic did have some kind words for Andy Murray.

"I have never, not even for a second, felt jealousy from Andy’s family," he said.

"Andy’s mother went in the locker room, in Rome, to congratulate Novak, his team and family. They cannot be best friends as they fight for the most important titles, and lots of money.

"But they are more than correct rivals and I am sure that after they finish their professional careers, they will be great friends."

Djoko himself is such a classy presence on Court - you wonder where he learned that from.

What a coincidence you should suggest that, socal.

I was thinking the very same thing myself, and with some diligent research managed to track down the rather high-end tailor who produces such suits. But then things got complicated.

Seems there is a pretty rigorous vetting process involved - so much so, that unless your CV shows a minimum of 15 Grand Slam titles you don't even get as far as the measuring stage..........
