Djokovic defeated Shelton in straight sets.

Mocking Shelton's celebration thing post-match was really classless. Why do it? He's just an unseeded kid.

I agree I didn't like the way Djokovic conducted himself after the Shelton match, and this is coming from someone who likes Djokovic.


"He wants to be loved so much, Novak. He wanted to mock Ben at the end. It wasn't something he was doing just to copy Ben. It was to mock him, and that's too bad, for that to come from such a great champion."

(Bryan Shelton, Ben's coach and father, to GQ magazine)


"This is my reaction to a provocation that came from the other side, it was a reaction against him. He did not behave properly, with respect, on court, and before the match. I'm never going to make fun of someone if they don't do something first. Every time I lose I always give my opponent a huge. I congratulate him. I respect him and his team. If anyone places himself in the unsportsmanlike zone, I react."

(Djokovic, L'Equipe magazine)
