Q. Last year before the final Andy talked about you playing football with each other in Perth and here. Has there been much of that? Do you sense he’s different with Lendl now?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Lendl took him to golf. They’re playing more golf than football (smiling). I’ve been waiting for him.
We haven’t had a chance because there’s a lot going on. But, look, we’ve been friends for a long time, always had lots of respect for him. I think it’s mutual. I think our teams are getting along really well. We practice whenever we can.
I mean, our friendship and rivalry, you can call it, goes long time back. You know, goes to when we were 12 in France, first tournament. We played a lot of junior events together.
It’s great to see that somebody who you grow up next to is doing well. This is going to be another great challenge for both of us.

“I tried it at Queen’s and I tried it a couple of times in practice since. I haven’t missed one yet. You look like a plonker when you do, so I’m glad I made it.”
Some people have suggested it is disrespectful to an opponent to play a shot like it, but Ljubicic did not have a problem with it.
“It’s not like he slapped me or anything,” said the Croat.
“His shot touched the net and then my shot touched the net. It happens. There was no other way for him to hit the ball except through the legs, and he made it. I’m sure the crowd enjoyed it.”
