Novak Djokovic had more quotes, very interesting, in Serbian, about his return to the @atptour council with @VasekPospisil, and the fact that they will continue PTPA anyway. Thread

"These are political games that take place behind the scenes and you barely see anything written about it. What's important to write is that Novak is a hypocrite...", @DjokerNole says is his long answer :
"...It is hard to expect that tennis and tennis politics do not get interwined here, especially with me since I have been heavily involved with the Council and politics in the last ten years..." #djokovic
"...Although the majority of my team and people close to me do not understand why I waste so much energy on something that probably diverts my focus and attention from things that matter more, I still believe my involvement serves a greater good, serves the players..."
"... If fellow players want me to represent them, I feel responsibility and obligation to do so as someone who has been a top player for many years. All these years I have tried to be available and to act proactively giving my ideas and suggestions ..."
"...with the sole purpose of making tennis system a better place, particularly for lower-ranked players. But you know, rarely anyone thinks about them - when people talk about tennis politics, they talk about the top 50-100 players..."
"... We have to pay attention to all the other players that are suffering big time, they constantly criticize the tennis system as they have a lot of problems." #djokovic #atp

"...It happens very often that my words are being twisted, just like in the last two days. Some people were saying that is hypocritical of me to maybe be back at the Council along with being one of the founders of PTPA. It was not my intention to be back on the Council."
"Back in August the players demanded from both Pospisil and me to resign. I was saying back then and I am saying it now - I do not see a conflict there. I have tried to explain that to people, but there are certain groups that do not want to understand..."
"... because they have other interests. Vasek (Pospisil) and I were nominated by a large group of players, we found out about it three or four days ago, they have asked us to accept that nomination to be on the Council again..."
"... We accepted it with pleasure, it is an honour for us, and it says something that we were being nominated again after we were practically kicked out before. It means that we have done a good job and that many players trust us." #Djokovic
"... Up until last night I wanted to collaborate with ATP as one of the PTPA cofounders, but by promoting the new rule by which you cannot be a member of the Council and any other organization within the tennis system simultaneously..."
"... they have sent a clear message what they think about all of it. So again, @atptour went against desires of the large group of players that nominated @VasekPospisil and me. It is not us who have applied, like it has been reported in the media..."
"... These are political games that take place behind the scenes and you barely see anything written about it, but it is important to write that Novak is a hypocrite..."
"... But OK, it is not the first time, I am used to it, it only strengthens my shield and it gives me even bigger motivation to do what is right for the sport and for the players." #Djokovic
"This is just the beginning for PTPA, we have to see what our next strategic move will be, obviously we will need to have a bit different approach from now on. At least we know now where we stand at when it comes to ATP
"
