Djokovic `sorry` for father`s `unsportsmanlike` comments

World No.1 Novak Djokovic has said that he is sorry for the words that his father Srdjan spoke about Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

New York: World No.1 Novak Djokovic has said that he is sorry for the words that his father Srdjan spoke about Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal not being a sport and that he has had good and fair relationships with his colleagues so far.
According to a website, Djokovic expressed that as unfortunate as it sounded, he could not be responsible for his father`s deeds and for his words because everyone, including him, was entitled to their own opinion. Srdjan had recently said that Federer was the best tennis player in history but as a man he was the opposite, while alleging that Nadal was his son`s best friend while he was winning but when things changed, they were no longer friends, adding that this was not sport. Djokovic said that his father had helped him a lot in his career and he did not have any influence on his recent statements. ANI
