"Kosovo is our cradle, our stronghold, centre of the most important things for our country," 36-year-old Djokovic told Serb media.

Yes!

His comments came amid heightened ethnic tensions in northern Kosovo where demonstrators and NATO soldiers have been injured.

Another place where NATO has caused conflict.

Great to see this guy Wild beat Medvedev! At ranking 172 vs 2, that's a win for the ages! Everyone's Wild about Thiago!

As for Djokevic bringing politics into sport, the man is showing yet again why he always brings down the tone of the sport. He may well win 100 Majors but he will never have the love, respect and support that the other champs have had. They had class - Djokevic has none.

Kosovo is NOT Serbia, little jerk.

Nadal not playing takes the luster off this year's Open.

Ok "Fighto!", we see that your vocabulary is very rich, like for example using the word "jerk". Firstly, Djokovic is a great champion, you should sometimes take a break, watch tennis and just admire greatness, appreciate it. It is true that that politics and sport does not go together, but it was also proven many times before that they actually do. For example, Russia and Olympics currently. Djokovic has many fans, so if you don't like him that's ok, but try to be respectful, it will be better for everyone, including you, of course. You will learn in time, or maybe never, that "games" of both NATO and Russia are bloody games, they were both killing innocent people for they own purposes, everything else is just a propaganda.

Great win for the Brazilian, Wild.

As for Kosovo, Serbia was causing trouble there long before NATO got involved. No point for tennis players bringing up old political issues. Kosovo is now independent as is Serbia. Djokovic was at fault for bringing it up in the first place.
