Novak Djokovic's mother hits out at Roger Federer

Novak Djokovic’s mother has made shocking claims about Roger Federer and named him "arrogant". Federer blew two championship points in the decider at the All England Club in 2019 as Djokovic won a thriller after a fifth-set tiebreaker at 12-12. Discussing the final with Serbian publication Sport Blic, Dijana Djokovic claimed God ‘saved’ her son from losing. "I saw a lot of matches, but Wimbledon was the most difficult last year,” she said. “When Federer had two match points, I grabbed my cross from the Don River. I am a believer, I wear the amulet all the time, it has often saved me in difficult moments. I said to myself: 'Nole, you can do it, you've done it twice, you can do it again.' And he did it. He was saved by God. Novak also believes in God, he feels chosen. He carries a cross that brings him peace and happiness.” Mrs Djokovic said she was annoyed by the pro-Federer crowd and the Swiss Maestro’s ‘arrogance’. “In a stadium where everyone was cheering on Roger Federer, we were just a handful of fans for Novak,” she said. "It's not nice that I'm annoyed by Federer or others at such moments. But it annoyed me because Federer is a bit arrogant.” Source: Yahoo Sports
