Umpire calls Novak Djokovic ‘Federer’

The World No.1 has surpassed the records of legend Pete Sampras and even equaled Rafael Nadal’s tally of winning 35 ATP masters. Yet, it seems these achievements are still not enough. At the match between Novak and Koepfer, the umpire called the former ‘Federer’ by mistake.

In the final set, when the game was won by Djokovic at 1-1 the umpire says “game Federer…. Djokovic”. The German lost the point trailing 0-40 to Federer. At the change of ends, the umpire Nacho Forcadell declared the wrong name.
