World-renowned tennis player Novak Djokovic has voiced his disapproval of the ceremony held for fellow player Rafael Nadal. The Serb expressed a sense of guilt regarding his conduct during the finals.
Djokovic, currently ranked as World Number One in men’s singles tennis by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), expressed his emotions regarding these events in a recent interview. He was reported stating that he found the Spanish tennis ace Nadal’s ceremony somewhat excessive and overly long.
This comment from Djokovic came amidst the recent wins and recognitions that Nadal has been collecting. Nadal, who also boasts a prolific career in the sport, was recognised with a special honour at a ceremony that Djokovic felt was overemphasised.
In the same interaction, Djokovic also discussed his sense of guilt over his actions during the recent finals. Without providing much detail about what his actions were and why they induced guilt, he maintained that it was a personal matter and further elaboration would do no good.
Despite all of this, the competition between the two players remains tight. Both have their eyes set on more victories to add to their impressive records, continuously pushing each other to higher performance levels. The coming seasons promise an exciting display of skill and rivalry between these two titans of tennis.
