‘He Was the Party Crasher’ – Roger Federer Antagonizes Novak Djokovic and His Millions of Fans With Shocking Statement

Roger Federer‘s fierce rivalry against Novak Djokovic ended on fine terms. While the latter graced the Swiss tennis maestro’s retirement ceremony with words of praise, the matter seemed. Nearly two years after his retirement, the former pro came up with a disregarding statement for the Serb, that is worth more than igniting a new controversy.

In a recent interview, Roger Federer submitted a harsh comment on Novak Djokovic, which could prove to be the spark that invites hate from the Serb’s fans all across the globe. Remembering their very first showdown on tour in Monaco, the Swiss tennis maestro revealed that he wasn’t convinced with the big talks around the Serb’s potential.

“Even though there was some hype around him, I wasn’t really fully convinced. I think I didn’t give Novak the respect he deserved because of his technical flaws,” he added. Along with that, Federer also took a hit at Nole’s overall presence in the scene which was ruled by him and Rafael Nadal.

“I guess he was the party crasher of Rafa and Roger fans. There was a lot of Rafa-Roger love there, so when Novak came probably a lot of people said, ‘Look, we don’t need a third guy. We’re happy with Roger and Rafa,” he added.

It has been a while since the tennis fans shifted their attention from the on-court rivalry between Federer and Djokovic. While the former pro was no longer around to pose a challenge against the Serb’s dominance, everyone started to focus on new rivals like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. As the Swiss tennis maestro decided to thrash his former rival with a harsh revelation, the hate from fans is highly likely to follow.
