You need to take ownership of your comments. You either think Djokovic doesn’t take injuries or Federer is a liar and very sore lose.
It’s time for you to grow up.
I’ve stated that I believe Djokovic is playing with an injury in Australia in 2021.
I’m not aware of Federer making any utterances on Djokovic in Australia in 2021. Why would he in any case, Federer is not competing in Melbourne. Federer has been out with a serious knee injury for the past 12 months.
You posted up a link to Federer querying whether Djokovic was genuinely injured during a match in 2006, some 15 years ago.
From all of that, you surmise that I have called Federer a liar.
Bizarre behaviour. You’re a beaten docket.
Less of the insults please.
It’s time for you to grow up and own your comments. Federer thinks Djokovic is a “joke” in relation to his injuries. You think he is genuine so you obviously think Federer is a liar.

Tsitsipas is another cod. Beaten before he even takes the court and had an extra day’s rest as well.
Every excuse under the sun from you for any player with a hint of an injury except for Rafa.
Nadal leads 2 sets to 0.
Nadal one set away from equalling Federer’s 36 straight sets in slams.
Medvedev is now 11-0 in his last 11 matches against top 10 players.
Tennis is at a very low ebb. Depth of talent outside the top few players who are still dominating in their mid to late 30’s, half crocked and playing through injuries is non-existent. This so called ‘New Gen’ is as weak as piss.
The sport badly needs some new blood to come along that’s made of the right stuff. The fact that the traditional stronghold of the US hasn’t had a real superstar emerge in over 30 years since a teenage Agassi and Sampras in the late 1980’s tells a tale. Same could be said of the other traditional stronghold, Australia. Nothing from the top drawer comes out of the antipodes any more.
It is unfortunate that there are only 2 or 3 players that can challenge Nadal or Djokovic. Thiem and Medvedev are the main challengers and on his day when he can be bother Kyrgios can also be a challenger.
I just looked at the top 10 ranked players and outside of 4 I mentioned the rest are weak as piss, actually could extend that out to the top 20 and they are all either weak as piss like Zverev, Raonic and Monfils or they are coming to the end like Federer and Wawrinka.
Federer won the Championship in 2017, a few weeks before he turned 36 without breaking sweat or dropping a set. Nadal won a French Open at 34, four months ago without dropping a set and it’s odds on he has now negotiated his way to the semi final in Melbourne without dropping a set. Great and all as Federer and Nadal are and Djokovic as well, those sort of stats are an embarrassment for the sport in general and to so called Top 10 players 10 and 15 years younger.
Tsitsipas like he did against Djokovic at the French Open a few months back only starts playing at 2 sets down and takes the 3rd set in a tie break.
Did Nadal have a little rest in that set?
Possibly Nadal took the foot off the pedal a bit but Tsitsipas did start to play. He was just utterly timid and passive in the first two sets. I’d still expect Nadal to close it out in four.
Tsitsipas has a bit more about him in the mental department than Zverev but is still a bit petulant at times.
It’s a fairly low bar to have more in the mental strength stakes than Zverev. Tsitsipas is very talented but he’s flakey too.
But he has beaten Federer and came close to Djokovic at RG last year. Zverev only really has a 5 setter against Nadal as a teenager where he has really demonstrated anything.
Stick a fork in Nadal for the rest of the tournament if this goes to a 5th.
Tsitsipas seems to be the one dominating now.
Nadal seems to be under severe pressure on his service games here.
Injuries have destroyed him.
All the drugs catching up with him.
