DJOKOVIC WOULD HAPPILY MISS WORLD CUP FINAL

LONDON: Novak Djokovic insists he would happily miss a first appearance for Serbia in the World Cup final if it means he is back in the Wimbledon title match. Djokovic watched Serbia’s 1-0 win over Costa Rica from a raucous players’ lounge at Queen’s Club in west London. But the 31-year-old was surprised when he was told he would likely miss out on watching Serbia if they make a surprise appearance in the World Cup final. That is because the showpiece in Moscow is scheduled to kick off just hours after the Wimbledon men’s final begins at the All England Club on July 15. But pressed on the potential fixture clash, Djokovic laughed off talk of mixed feelings. “Really? I didnt know that. Wow,” he said. “If that happens I would obviously be very happy to miss the World Cup final!”
