Are these bad cemmonts because Djokovic is a Serb? If they are, don’t worry, Serbs are used it. Djokovic won third title this year, he has the most wins. The Frenchmen choked for a reason – he had to fight at a very high level, and stay focused – it is not easy. Don’t forget, Djokovic also beat Nadal this year, for whose play none of you “objective” guys would ever, ever right anything so hateful as you write about Djokovic’s.Go ahead, hate Novak. He does not make ANY money of the commercials…he is a Serb and nobody gives him any contract. So, he does not care much about what you write. He just wins matches.Good day.
