Djokovic Interview US Open 2008 QF

Novak Djokovic (last point of match) and his post match on court interview where he behaves like the sook that he is in reaction to Andy Roddick intimating (prior to this match) that he is a faker of injury / ailments.

Novak has all but destroyed the supporters he won at this tournament (as a losing finalist) in 2007

please dont let this devolve into a serb versus us thing. it's stupid and always goes nowhere. these these guys get paid millions while your at home arguing over nationality. it's just tennis, its just a game, grow up.

Way to go Nole. Andy's remarks were waaaay of the mark, he was rude. It was basically name calling. And I understand Nole's "inat" :)) - he is a true Serb :)

I remember watching this match and noticing that the crowd were being extremely rude to Novak, before he had even responded to Roddick's remarks. Unfortunately this is the nature of sport: the home crowd will always try to destroy the confidence of the 'infidel'. I was at one of Roddick's matches in Brisbane and he got treated almost as bad because he was up against an Aussie. But he never once even looked up at the crowd in disgust, he just kept his focus on serving bombs, and he won that day.

That was really impolite of the crowd and Andy is just a jerk.

Andy is a loser :)

all those ppl who believe ppl like roddick on the tour that's not true....everyone on the tour hates him while everyone on the tour likes djokovic on the tour and this has been the case for quite some time now....u guys should also know that djokovic has a hereditary breathing problem for which ntn can be done so clearly he is not faking regardless of the conditions or his opponent....

So federer and nadal dont preassure him?? haha what world are you living on? Novak is a Fucking Beast and Andy was just being an arrogant asshole looking for attention who gives a shit if he was joking around in proffesional athletics you dont joke around about shit like that! Roddick is probably the most arrogant pussy ever! Thats why he's only 8th or 9th..if he changed his attitude he would dominate, but i doubt that will be happening any time soon

[brawlaccount]

djokovic is still a bitch..have you seen him play any match lately where he is having trouble???? he starts breathing so fucking heavily as if he is about to die. all of these problems miraculously go away either if he is winning or if it's against someone where there isnt as much pressure, like federer or nadal. he is a fucking pansy and he isnt fooling anyone with a brain.

i also like how all of the fucking serbs believe that he really is injured and that he tells the truth all the time.

Novak just needs to understand that Andy Roddick pokes fun and jokes about a lot of stuff. It wasn't meant to be anything personal I don't think. I just think that this exemplifies his immaturity at this point in his career because this was when Nole would imitate other players and make jokes about everything. He imitated things like Rafael Nadal's picking habit which is a sensitive spot for the Spaniard. But as soon as someone makes fun of him it's not okay anymore? Sorry Nole, you're wrong.

[dwilliams02]

To me, this is the last appearance of Nole's immature and arrogant side. Even though he's obviously the more talented player, Andy Roddick is a more respected player on tour. He's older, he's done more with less natural ability, and he's generally seen as a nice guy. Djokovic was pretty disliked around the locker room until the last year or so. He's really mellowed out since then which I like. I think after this tournament he started to realize that it's not all about him.
