Novak Djokovic has admitted that he and his team have been forced to be creative when it comes to swearing on the court.
He has been punished for swearing during previous matches, but he explained that he can no longer use curses in his native tongue due to the success of Serbian players in recent years.
“The problem we have, because of the success of Croatian and Serbian players in the last 30 years or so, we unfortunately have a situation where most of the umpires understand the swearing words,” Djokovic told Eurosport.
“So we have to play around a little bit, we have to use the slang, create new words, but when you’re p***** off you don’t think about creating.”
