10) Off the court, the Pole seems to be a fan of Nadal but not of Djokovic and Federer.
In an interview from a few months ago, he commented, “I don’t have any idols, I’m not following the examples of anyone. I liked Sampras for style, Safin for character. I like watching Federer, but lately I am missing Nadal because he hasn’t playing for 8 months.”
He elaborated that he liked Nadal “because there is no fake, he behaves like in life. Djokovic is fake, he shows off and acts. Federer is a guy who wants to be above everything. In this context there might be something unnatural of him, hard to feel he is one of us.
“When lower ranked players were protesting because Slam organizers were paying us only 14% of their income, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic were on our side, though there are millionaires, Federer said that according to him is OK.”
