Djokovic Press Conference - After Federer Match (Spoiler Alert)

well said xanctus.

The funny thing, is that often the ones critisizing the grammar, spelling and speech of polyglots are people that only can speak one language.

People that can speak more than one, know how difficult is to master a foreign language and then show respect and encouragment for other people when they are trying to learn and speak their language.

I speak 5 languages, and I am aware than none of my 4 foreign languages are perfect, but I am proud to be able to communicate and understand the cultures of others.

I'm a big fan of Djokovic, but even I thought this was lame. I wonder if it had anything to do with the bit of animosity between Federer and Novak's box during the first set. Djokovic seemed to lose concentration after that, and I think his parents are doing him no favors by antagonizing other players, especially someone as stoic as Federer. I suggest they attend classes at the school of STFU, or they'll end up making Richard Williams seem gracious and reasoned.

The only reason you should retire from a match is if you have a physical injury, massive cramping, you have diarhea or vomiting, a fever, or other serious symptoms. He had a freakin sore throat and felt a little sick and he retired??? That is a sore loser to me. He could easily have finished the match without it threatening his well-being. He just couldn't accept an ass-whooping from the supposedly declining federer. I bet djokovic salivates to the "fed is done" posts on TW. Now that he found fed is not done, he quits with probably the worst excuse ever heard.

This match really ticked me off which is rare for me. I know he isn't feeling well but another twenty minutes and he could have left the court with his head held high. I understand when the players are injured, in severe pain, vomiting, etc., but 'not feeling well'? Are ya kiddin' me? Not only do these people spend a lot of money to see the match, they expect the players to give it their best. Just because you 'aren't feeling well' isn't a reason to bail like that. I was incredibly disappointed to see him exit the way he did - I thought he had more intensity and drive than that.

It seems like whenever Djoker is pressured, he just retires so he can say "Yea, I didn't get my ass whooped."

Kind of a like a one hit champion that is unwilling to defend his title.

There are some new labaratory designer diseases now that afflict only the healthiest of immune systems(the buggers aye?). So when you see guys like Federer and Djoko going down, it is because of these covert bacterium. Don't be too hard on them.

As far as I'm concerned, if you aren't dead or have something broken, you finish the match. Djokovic will be hearing about this one for the rest of his career and will never be able to live it down.

Djokovic is a joke.

Didnt whine all week when he was beating the crap out of his opponents but as soon as he faces someone whos asgood/better than him he punks out.

Guess the kings not dethroned after all, huh?

Djokovic is a disgrace to sportsmanship in mens tennis and IF he ever makes the number 1 ranking and pulls ANY of the BS he has BEEN pulling so far in his career he will be the BIGGEST disgrace to the ranking in history.

Novak, I always tried to like you but you keep letting me down. No more, now I have nothing but disgust for you!

It wasn't the throat he played with a sore throat. When he got dizzy and couldn't get move he had to stop. Smart guy!
