"I respect Novak Djokovic but what he did in Mallorca was low" says Oliver Marach

Novak Djokovic is widely respected around the ATP Tour for obvious reasons as he is one of the greatest to ever do it, if not the greatest. Even so many tennis players around the Tour have not always been a fan of his behavior on the court or off the court. Some have even openly criticized him and the latest to do so is Oliver Marach who last faced Djokovic in Mallorca.

Speaking at the Davis Cup Finals Marach remembers his latest interaction with Djokovic explaining:

"In Mallorca, we were scheduled to play the doubles semifinal at 1:30 pm but he did not arrive until 2 pm. The ATP didn't have the courage to disqualify him. And since we were not focused we lost. Djokovic then gave a walkover in the final. I have respect for all of his achievements but that was low, I told him that too. But we talked about it and are on good terms."

It's an interesting story from Marach that was not yet known in the public but as the Austrian noted above he and Djokovic talked it out and are on good terms.
