Novak Djokovic apologises on Facebook after screaming at terrified ball boy

Tennis champion Novak Djokovic posted a message on his Facebook page to apologise to a startled ball boy and his parents after the Serbian player startled him during his final showdown with Andy Murray. He started shouting at his backroom team after he lost the second set of the Miami Open to Murray, according to www.dailymail.co.uk

''It's probably been the best start to a season aside from 2011 that I had in my career, and I can't be more grateful for all the support I'm getting from you guys and I'm enjoying my time playing and competing and hopefully I brought a smile to your faces. Also I want to reflect on a bad moment that happened in the final against Andy when I lost the second set. I yelled to my camp and my box in frustration. I saw the replay. Unfortunately a ball boy was in the middle of it and I really, really feel sorry and regret that he was there. There was absolutely no intention whatsoever to hurt him or scare him in any kind of way. I sincerely hope he forgives me. I really apologise. I do care about children a lot right now and I look at it in a much different way. So I want to apologise to his parents for this situation as well. As a father I wouldn't wish that something like this happens to my son. Again I sincerely hope you can forgive me and that we can move on. Unfortunately sometimes the emotions get the better of you. Also times as a professional athlete you learn how to control them and how to stay composed and mentally strong. But on a hot day like this when Andy was playing well and pushing all my buttons it wasn't easy,'' He said
