And Daddy, Federer has shown times he can be teed off after a loss, you are right. But never once has he been blatantly arrogant as Djokovic, ever. I don't think I've ever seen Federer say "I was completely in control of the match" When he was down a set and 2 breaks, and retires.
Maybe he didn't do exactly as Djokovic did, but Federer's done his fair share too. The only problem is that it gets excused, while Djokovic gets crucified. Go back and read the articles. He was routinely dissing Nadal when the h2h was 6-1 or 7-1 to his disadvantage. He called Uncle Toni a cheater on court. Made a big deal about the "time violations."
Federer gives credit where credit is due. He gave Safin credit when Safin beat him at the AO 2005.
He did not. He said he had something wrong with his feet in that match, and he reminded the press that he had a winning h2h against Safin.
He gave Nalbandian credit at the TMC 2005 even though he literally was playing with no movement whatsoever.
He gave credit to Nalbandian and then called his buddy Wawrinka and asked him to beat Nalbandian when they played, and also asked Stan to beat Canas too.
He gives credit to Nadal, and said that he felt lucky to win Wimbledon in 2007.
He gives credit to Nadal now, because Nadal took the high road and never retaliated. You have to respect a player like that.
He is constantly awarded by the press and his own fellow players, not just because of press interviews or public things, but because of how he acts off the court also.
He gets the awards because they want to give them to him. Never before has a champion been so negatively quoted against another player, except McEnroe and Connors, and as you can see they are also held in the highest esteem.
Djokovic not only shot himself in the foot with this incident, but also many other incidents also. People seem to forget that Djokovic routinely abuses timeouts and ball bouncing, and pretty much gets away with it every time.
Federer did ask for the chair to turn off the let machine at Wimby last year. He did stop the match with Tipsarevic to get his toenails clipped. He's done just as many things as Djokovic has, so I don't understand why you're not seeing it.
