Novak Djokovic won't give dad a dressing down

NOVAK Djokovic might not agree with his father's fashion statement at the US Open but the Serbian is not about to make him change his ways.

Djokovic's father Srdjan has been notable in the player's box during his son's five matches at the tournament for wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a large image of Novak's face.

"He's a proud father, what can I say?" Djokovic said when asked about his father's clothing choice. "I don't know exactly where he got his fancy shirt - it was somewhere in Belgrade - but he's my father and, if he wants to wear this shirt, he can wear this shirt. I'd never wear it. I don't like myself that much."
