Djokovic honest in defeat to Federer at ATP Finals: 'He was the better player in all aspects'

Djokovic said that he was the better player in all aspects and as a result, deserved to claim victory over him.

He said his problem was that he was playing too neutral and that it was overall a poor match from his side. The World No.2 added that he is a role model even for him and one of the toughest opponents in his career.

“He was the better player in all aspects and absolutely deserved to win,” said Djokovic. “He served great, moved well, returned my serve very well. From his end, I think he did everything right. From my end, I was just playing too neutral. I couldn't read his serve well. Just a pretty bad match from my side.

“[But] I have the utmost admiration for him and everything he's doing on the court. What he has achieved over the years and what he's still showing on the court is phenomenal. He's a role model, even for me, and one of the toughest opponents I’ve had in my career. Looking at his career and what he's still doing just inspires you.”
