Serbian no longer ‘a joke’ to Federer
Speculation the relationship between the multiple major winners is frosty was quashed by Federer, who stressed they had talked through a flare-up which occurred during a Davis Cup match six years ago.
At the time of the clash between Switzerland and Serbia, Federer labelled the teenage Djokovic “a joke” after he sought treatment in a match against Stanislas Wawrinka. Federer questioned whether Djokovic was hurt at all.
