NEW YORK — Novak Djokovic, the Serbian tennis player ranked No. 4 in the world, made a rather startling statement last week after losing in straight sets to Roger Federer in the finals of the ATP event in Cincinnati.
“Yeah, unfortunately I was born in the wrong era,” Djokovic quipped. “I don’t think this is some kind of curse or something. It’s just the day, you know?”
Yes, we know. It’s the Day of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
