Oh, I thought you were interested in tennis

Yeap around that time it was after the Safin match I think he said he saw a replay and both of them were throwing rackets and he felt like a disgrace and decided to keep it under control

Yes I quite agree. Berdych could take and example from him!

That was the most horrendous ceremony I have ever seen it tennis. They were both exhausted and those stupid 'officials' went on and on until both were near collapse. I think Djokovic looked as though he couldn't care less at one point and only wanted to get out of the place. They were not offered a chair until they nearly collapsed by sitting on the net. Anyone who thinks that tennis is an easy option in sport should view that match and the aftermath because it was almost cruel. They fought to the end and - both great guys and we are lucky to witness that era

Djokovic is a great loser tbh. Unlike Federer and Nadal.

But after a heart-breaking (for Nadal) 6hr marathon? Disgrace.

So you call a million dollars, a ton of ranking points and a runner-up trophy "zero reward"? Are you dead set on proving Djokovic is a villain or something?

Come on, Federer is a great loser. Just as good as Djokovic. You can't just write him off as a bad loser just because he seemed a bit angry during the US Open 2011 SF press conference, it was understandable under the circumstances.

Fed has never been a great loser. He is a much better winner than Djokovic in that he keeps himself in check and shows respect to the opponent.
