Novak Djokovic played down a reported rift with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal yesterday, saying he welcomed their views on the controversial ousting of ATP chairman Chris Kermode.
Federer and Nadal ripped the top-ranked Djokovic, current president of the ATP Player Council, for failing to contact them over the decision to terminate Englishman Kermode, whose reign began in 2014 and concludes at year's end after a vote at Indian Wells earlier this month. Serbian star Djokovic vociferously pushed for change, despite many within the game strongly advocating for Kermode to remain in charge.
Federer said yesterday he was not"chasing" Djokovic for an explanation, despite claiming at Indian Wells it was"hard to understand" why Djokovic turned down a request to discuss the situation."We welcome them as well as anyone else who wants to join the political discussions," Djokovic said."The player council is only part of the structure. We are not part of the board or deciding anything.
