“I don't know if he's a liar or a phony. Very hard for me to believe he allowed his father to badmouth Roger every time he was in front of a microphone for years if he really respected him this much.

The Happy One@kavyasastra@ayshaqureshi It seems that Novak and Roger quite dislike each other. In the light of this dislike, it is creditable that Novak/his team took the time to write a well-crafted and positive message.
It is in line with his general thoughtfulness in speeches/press conferences. Always admirable.@ayshaqureshi It seems that Novak and Roger quite dislike each other.
