Roger Federer said in yesterday’s interview to the Swiss ‘Blick’ that he and Novak talked about the success of the football national teams of Switzerland and Serbia in qualifications for the world championships in South Africa.
‘I saw Djokovic this morning. We talked a little bit about football. We both concluded that our teams are close to a great success in qualifications for the World Cup, which is why we are proud of them’, said the best player in the world who will meet Novak on Sunday in the U.S. Open semi-finals.
Federer said for the Swiss newspapers that Novak is a well-mannered sportsman, and he does’t mind his imitations on court.
‘Novak is not one of those players that while passing next to your locker room after the match turn their head and don’t say ‘hello’. I love to talk with him. His impersonations of other players are interesting. I do not understand why many people criticise him for that. I saw Novak’s match against Verdasco. I think he improved a lot and therefore I don’t know whether he will ‘explode’ on Saturday against me or not’, said the winner of 15 Grand Slam titles.
