Novak Djokovic's father takes swipe at Roger Federer – 'He is not as good a man'

“When he comes across a wall, he stops and thinks, and I hit my head until I faint. That’s why I don’t watch his matches anymore.

“I watched maybe a few minutes of the Australian Open final [when Djokovic beat Russian Daniil Medvedev in straight sets in February].

“I’m staring around. I’m just waiting for the set to end – ‘let me know’. Diana was watching – women are stronger than us.”

He added: “Obviously, they don’t have the best opinion of us and we are constantly bothering them.
