"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.

Srdjan Djokovic has made some interesting remarks in the past and he finished off with:

"I want to say that Novak is not only the best tennis player, but also a man. 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."
