Mats unloads on the trailer trash Djoker parents after the final:

Swedish interviewer Annette Sjober: "In all your years have you ever
seen security having to guard the parents of a player during a match?"

Wilander: "No, that was really unbelievable. I've never seen it
before. Not only security but the lower tournament director sitting by
the family box. You know, it seems they [the Djokovic parents] were
bothered that the crowd was pro-Tsonga. Well, Tsonga is a modest guy,
you know, he's very popular in the locker room and with fans. Novak
is, a little, not too modest."

Interviewer: "Do you know why the security guards were by the Djokovic
family?"

Wilander: "Well, they are known to talk trash, let's say. Even to
players on the court. It's one thing to encourage your player, but
they take this to a level I've just never seen. Just because there's
some pro-Tsonga people behind them, you know, with their faces painted
the French colors, they get upset and complain. I've never heard of a
player's family interjecting themselves like this or complaining.
That's just sports. Get used to it."

Interviewer: "Novak seemed upset in the first two sets that the crowd
wasn't supporting him."

Wilander: "Well again, he needs to get used to it. I've played in
Davis Cup matches where we were booed and heckled and all the rest. It
comes with the territory. He's not endearing himself to fans or press
people, just a timely warning. It's always better to play down your
strengths and not trumpet up your own wins. And the family aspect is
very weird at the moment."

From Eurosport video.

Wilander, who was thousands of miles away, is in no position to tell
us why security was called. OTOH, Pam Shriver who was reporting from
the match claimed direct taunting from some French, Tsonga thugs.
Wilander and Tsonga nation can shove it up their ass.

Er, I saw a clip of Wilander sitting beside the court during the
Federer-Djokovic match, before he was to do a commentary stint for
Eurosport.

Did he come home afterwards?
