I did watch the last part of the match. Any one know what happen? Why in their interviews posted on Usopen website they both feel sorry for that? All so why the crowd don't like Djok? Just curious
After the Robredo match, Tommy basically called Djokorvic a cheater for abusing the rules to take injury timeouts.
Andy was asked about this, and he made a joking remark about Djokovic's injuries: "A back and a hip? And a cramp? Bird flu, anthrax, SARS, common cough and cold," Roddick was clearly joking, but apparently Djokovic did not appreciate it. So after Novak won he made a comment that the crowd was against him because they thought he was a cheater, and he said that Roddick should not have talked the way he did.
It did nothing to warm the hearts of the crowd, who booed him relentlessly.
From:
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...ooed-for-verbal-attack-on-roddick-920857.html
" After beating Roddick, Djokovic told the crowd: "Andy was saying that I have 16 injuries in the last match, so obviously I don't, right? That's not nice anyhow to say in front of this crowd that I have 16 injuries and I am faking it."
Boos rang around the stadium, but Djokovic went on: "They [the crowd] are already against me because they think I am faking everything, so sorry. I am really happy playing against Roddick on his court and in his city in his favourite tournament. To win against him is a huge effort."
Djokovic later apologised, admitting he may have overreacted, while Roddick insisted that his comments had been made only in jest, but added: "I figure if you're going to joke and imitate other people and do the whole deal, then you should take it." "

i dont think its really the same
djokovic's imitations are obviously meant purely in a friendly and comical way.
but while roddick was obviously trying to be funny, the comments were not friendly. he basically called nole a cheater but tried to spin it off as a joke. calling someone a cheater and pointing out someone's mannerisms are very different imo.

i dont really agree with you saying theyre meant to be funny. some of them are clearly meant to be insulting, and it gives him just one more little arrogant attitude that makes me dislike him more and more.
but at the same time, roddick was too over the top himself. it's a stupid cycle, really, but djokovic does those impressions to make fun of other players.

maybe i havent seen him do enough of them then.
cuz the only time ive seen him do them was last year at the uso when he was asked to do them after a match. at that time, they just seemed similar to a stand up comedian's jokes.

sometimes he does like the nadal butt picking thing to the point where you can completely tell he's insulting nadal. and he has also done it with sharapova, sticking his butt out behind him extremely far and shaking it, making fun of her.
i just dont like it. sometimes he's funny, but those times, he definitely wasnt.

sure, when he was naming off random diseases it was kinda funny. but then he said more things in which he basically said novak is a cheater (like robredo did).

Would've been better if Roddick said nothing, but I found his comments to be really funny, personally.
But Djokovic makes fun of other players alllll of the time, so he shouldn't have taken it the wrong way.

The whole reason he was asked to do it then was because he was doing it in the locker room it got caught on camera and was put on You Tube. So a lot of people saw him doing them there and I remember someone at the Australian Open asking him to do it then and he obliged as well. It wasn't a 1 time thing.

Andy is a jerk and Djok has no sense of humor.

Djok IS a cheater. Roddick joked about it. RObredo said it in the open. Federer was mad about it 2 years ago:
«You know I don't trust his injuries, no it's not funny,I mean I'm serious, and I think that he's a joke when he comes down to these injuries. The rules are there to be used but not abused and that's what he's been doing many times. That's why I wasn't happy to see him doing that and then running around like a rabbit again. Yeah it was a good handshake for me. I was happy to beat him." - Roger Federer's Interview after beating Novak Djokovic in Davis Cup play.

OMG, thetruth i mean nadal_freak, i mean, er cyan er Gen ...
Remember that clay match early in the year when your avatar was losing to Roger in first set. and then almost quit the match ... and THEN went running around like a rabbit again.
Anyway, I am not saying Rafa is a cheat. Who are you or I to know who's injury is real or not. C'mon get a life, sweetie ! Taking an injury break is NOT cheating.

Actually the "treatment" that is provided during changeovers (or those notorious timeouts ;-) ) are more like quick, temporary symptomatic relief (at best)-- loosening up a muscle, an anti-inflammatory /pain killer, bandaging up dear Rafa's tender toeses, giving roger the good old "arousing" backrub etc.
So running like a rabbit when you were limp(ing) one moment before is likely to raise (more than just) eyebrows. 'specially if you have a boner to pick with that particular playa.

Well it would make an interesting scientific experiment: take a limping rabbit, treat it, will you get a running rabbit? Maybe I could become Prof. Underhand by solving this problem.

Prof Underhand, you do know that animals play dead at times. Faked medical timeouts are the human form of playing dead !
There, you've solved the problem. (However, I respect those bums enough to give them benefit of doubt.)

well if all u guys can remember djokovic said he is going to stop all the imatations which he did but then when it got to the us open 07 they asked him to do it he sed no then eventually done it to make them happy so basically its not his fault if he doesnt want to loose relationship with the fans

Nadal IS a cheater and I think that he's a joke when he comes down to these injuries. That's why I wasn't happy to see him taking all these timeouts against Federer in Hamburg and then running around like a rabbit again.
