Pilic mentioned a German magazine featuring Roger Federer in a tuxedo on its front page. As per him: “What will Federer do on the front page the day after the tournament in Turin?” Pilic questioned the need to celebrate a retired player while Djokovic basked in a major victory.
With a touch of defiance, Pilic dissected the symbolic act and declared it a futile attempt to undermine Novak Djokovic’s triumph. “That’s their belittling, but in vain, Novak won and told them ‘arriveders’ guys.” In the face of detractors, Djokovic’s victories seem to be louder than the words of the naysayers.
