Nenad Zimonjic won the only Davis Cup for Serbia alongside Novak Djokovic in 2010 and was subsequently the captain of his country. Once ‘Nole’ dispensed with Goran Ivanisevic at the conclusion of Indian Wells, he helped his compatriot in the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo and Rome.
Djokovic yesterday confronted the fans who filled the Wimbledon headquarters when he understood that they had booed him in the round of 16 match with Holger Rune.
“What I can tell you is that the public here is very respectful“says Nenad Zimonjic, who has shared many years with Djokovic on the Serbian Davis Cup team.
If there are people who behave badly, I would say it is a few
“If there are people who behave badly, I would say it is only a few. In the past we have played many Davis Cup matches where the entire stadium was against us, calling us when serving or during the point. This does not compare nothing with that. Novak is a player who has had many experiences that he can use to his advantage,” clarifies Nenad.
Therefore, during some of his most difficult days against Federer, in his head he transforms the “Roger, Roger”, in “Nole, Nole“.
“I still think that he is a very popular player,” Zimonjic continues before the group of Spaniards who question him: “I was with him in Monte Carlo, Rome and they support him a lot even during training. Now that Roger no longer plays, what Rafa plays little, he is the biggest star we have, so he is receiving a lot of heat.”
