It was one of the most emotional days for the tennis world as they witnessed their blue-eyed boy of the said goodbye to the sport. His rival Rafael Nadal, who played doubles alongside the Swiss, also shed a few tears with him. However, there was one incident after the match, where Novak Djokovic was seen inconsolably sobbing as he hugged Federer.

While Roger Federer celebrated the release of his latest documentary, many did not expect a part of it to be in defense of his rival Novak Djokovic. There has always been an intense rivalry between the fans of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer.

However, ahead of the documentary release, Federer took the side of the misunderstood Djokovic and explained things from his side. The Swiss pointed out how Djokovic burst into the scenes of tennis and made the Federer-Nadal rivalry three-way, which upset the ‘Fedal fans’.

I guess he was the party crasher of Rafa and Roger fans. There was a lot of Rafa and Roger love there, so when Novak came, probably a lot of people said, ‘Look, we don’t need a third guy. We’re happy with Roger and Rafa.

Moreover, Djokovic entered tennis as a strong-gritted person, who took down any challenge that came his way. The rivalry continues between the two fans, but overall, Djokovic has managed to surpass his rivals.
