PARIS, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Roger Federer should concentrate on his own career
rather than criticising others, Serb Jelena Jankovic said on Tuesday after
being irked by the Swiss master's unflattering verdict on her number one world
ranking last year.
Last month, former world number one Federer hit out at the way the WTA rankings
were calculated, saying a player who has never won a grand slam should not be
granted the number one spot.
Jankovic reached the top spot in the WTA rankings in August having never won a
major tournament. She lost her first grand slam final to American Serena
Williams at last year's U.S. Open.
The Serb has since dropped down to third in the world following a shock
fourth-round defeat to France's Marion Bartoli at the Australian Open.
“To be honest, I do not like to talk about players, I really prefer to focus
on myself,”Jankovic told Reuters in an interview at the Paris Open.
She said she could not understand why Federer felt the need to hit out at
women's tennis while his great rival Rafa Nadal, who took over from the Swiss
as world number one, was so“humble”.
“Why should he even care? I don't like putting my nose in other's business.
“I mean, one thing I like about Nadal is that he is such a great champion, he
is so humble, always has kind words for everybody, he is a role model for
everybody,”said Jankovic.
“Federer is a great champion, I don't want to get in a fight with him but why
does he care, I really don't understand. Why does he need to do that?”
Federer also led the charge against Jankovic's compatriot Novak Djokovic when
he quit because of the heat in his Australian Open quarter-final match against
Andy Roddick.
“I'm almost in favour of saying, you know what, if you're not fit enough, just
get out of here,”the Swiss said.
Jankovic said Federer should not criticise fellow players.“I don't think it's
nice to attack other players.
“If he retired, he probably had his reasons, he knows better. You cannot
attack someone when you don't have proof, when you don't have a piece of
evidence.
“There is no reason to offend him that way.”
Jankovic will open her Paris Open campaign with a first-round match against
Italian Francesca Schiavone.
The interview was organised by WTA Tour sponsors Sony Ericsson.
