He is also a Nadal fan right?

He is really a good person, also outside the public! The media especially US and G. Britain invent in bad image ...

@@airportdiversionservice2427 totally agree, the media will do anything to put him down, it's because he's from Serbia & not the western world

I believe there's an extra "but" in the end of your statement. Sure, he has a very strong personality, but it's not like that is a bad thing, that is one of the key reasons why he keeps winning all those trophies. Sometimes I am amazed (in a bad way) by how self-absorbed people from some western countries can be when they take his temperament as a bad thing (this is not a comment against you personaly); he comes from Serbia, that's who we are, Balkan's people in general, we have strong personalities and we display our emotions, but we have norhing but respect and kindness for people from all over the world; just because you like Roger and Rafa more doesn't mean you should criticize everything Novak does differently; in the end, that is the beauty of the world we live in, we are all different from each other more or less, and therefore unique. I gueas my point is, love and support whoever you want to, but respect others love and support for their favorite even if it isn't the same one you pick. Sorry for an essay, cheers !

Without a strong personality he could not have won 19 slams. Yes only sometimes he vents too much rage on the court, often at his own team, but I guess his box has been at the receiving end of it enough to get used to it by now. The beef with Novak goes back to the Yugoslavian war and some of the openly confrontational behaviour of his parents, and also because he was a bit late to the party when Fed and Nadal were already at their peaks. But then that is who Djokovic is. I miss the times when he would make light hearted imitations of others, he's much more of a beast now, but that is what has kept him winning.

The crowd in that match crossed the line completely. It wasn’t helped by the fact that there was a long rain delay prior to the new roof being completed that caused much of the crowd to spend more time drinking, which then made the atmosphere much rowdier than usual. It was embarrassing as an American tennis fan.

That sounds incredible to watch! Which U.S. Open was it (what year)?

@@shander21 what year was that?

@@Mina-gk8jm In N.Y.? Every year!

@@mtgne5351 no I meant that specific US Open

Best comment, and probably the reason I only watched 1 min of the video, and why I won't read any more comments. Enough said.

fair play. only thing which should matter to us as viewers or fans is how they play and what they achieve because any of their little things on court can never show who they really are as a human, it's true for everyone. some people appear to be perfect and flawless but are super f**ked and some people appear arrogant and misbehaving but they are not.

well-said!

I agree 100%.

Djokovic mastered tennis, Federer mastered tennis and Rafa mastered tennis. They just did it in their own ways. Federer is elegant and effortless. Nadal is powerful and determined. Djokovic is calculated and flexible.

I will not respect anyone who is toxic just because he is good at tennis...

Exactly.

@@mihailovasic4623 Serbia is super developed. Maybe not up there with Switzerland but it's pretty high up! I think you are from Serbia and are trying to act underdog to make a story out of Djokovic. Huge respect to Djokovic though. Great personality and player !

destruction of what? You have to be more precise

His “mistakes” are what makes him the most relatable, he’s not afraid to show his emotions on/off court and be who he is. Federer and Nadal most of the time are just walking PRs. They need good publicity for their brands because it’s good for their business and brings in more $$$ Djokovic on the other end, doesn’t seem to care about money as much as Nadal and Federer, which is what makes him even better.

O wow Two players are on “ another Level “ yap, we are Balkans, primitive and unpolished “ but Unbeatable! Novak Djokovic is simple, honest and The best x Phoenix who rise from ashes x he will be in light under dark sky! 🔱

Ironically, he"s the world number 1 due to him making no mistakes. People talk about his records in grandslams and being number 1. People simply forget he played a Grand Slam Final with 0 unforced errors. That is godly, one of the only records I don"t see a tennisser beat.

The harsh truth that his fans will never accept is that he's just not as entertaining as Federer, who turns tennis into an art form. That's why he's not as popular. But they don't want to acknowledge that, so instead they resort to sob stories about prejudice etc. People are allowed to cheer for their favourite.

Who does not want to be loved or admired? It's totally understandable, but I just don't believe that Djokovic embodies the humility to be popular

True. People today know Tesla as a company that make electric cars. Nikola Tesla made an electric car more than 100 years ago.

If you can actually show me some evidence to support your claims, I will refute what I've said and agree with you. But until then, we can stick to our own beliefs.

Don't disagree with any of your words. Simply adding, a lot of top tennissers grew up poor. They overcame so much. Reminding me of Brown (one of the most talented tennisser ever in my opinion, only riddles with injuries). He literally lived in bus for years, won small tournaments and used that money for gas. Driving around Germany. Novak however literally grew up in a warzone. Constant bombing and hiding in shelters. You won"t find a lot of people in the top with such a background.

There is great interview with him by Jay Shetty. It shows what work he does on his spiritual self, his discipline and health, family. Coming from a war torn country (BY THE US) - it all matters. Westerners don't realize or appreciate a strong personality. They feel threatened by it. I have experienced it myself. Not on the same level, but as someone who is great at their job and being hated its really tough. GO NOVAK!

Goran is also from the Balkans and he's loved everywhere. It's going nothing to with him being a slav. Safin was loved too.

The media hit pieces and misinformation don't help either. The Serbian fans can also get a bit too overzealous in their fandom which does annoy some people including me which does not help.

Yup. Nole was seen as the 3rd wheel and the outsider

it also has to do with the fedal thing which ATP projected for popularity of tennis. when djokovic came, he broke fedal by dominating them(they were projected as invincibles who no one can beat) so the media decided that why not use the spice and make it a fedal vs djokovic, good vs bad kind of thing.

Ironically Federer's IMMENSE worldwide popularity is the factor that creates this phenomenon of folks refusing to FULLY acknowledge the greatness of Joker and Rafi and is the X-factor that will probably ALWAYS make Fed The GOAT in most people's mind and heart.....

@@tigeranthony Roger is way more skilled than Djokovic, that's why 90 % of the spectators cheer him in a match against Djokovic, and if you think the crowd normally supports the underdog, it's just showing you how great Roger really is ( just a delight watching him play tennis). On the other hand, I grew up watching Pete Sampras playing and I can guarantee he's way more skilled than Djokovic. Pistol Pete was ranked no. 1 for a total of 6 years, having extremely difficult opponents and cannon ball servers to play against ( Ivanisevic, Rafter, Krajicek, Agassi, Becker, etc...) He retired at 32 because of his back problems that were bothering him for about 2 years. It doesn't matter how many Grand Slams Djokovic wins, his skills are just not on the same level of Roger and Pete. An all time top 5 ranking in my view would be: 1. Federer 2. Sampras 3. Bjorn Borg 4. Nadal 5. Agassi

@@georgehav650 I strongly disagree my friend but I respect your choice(s) and opinion. We are QUITE possibly watching the three greatest players of all time playing in the same era. Collectively they are the three most dominant players of all time on all three surfaces with Federer most likely the most skilled and versatile of all time. Djoker is challenging THAT mantle as each season wears on. Feds dominance at Wimbledon (and US Open), Djoker's dominance at the Australian, and Rafi's unparalleled dominance on Clay courts dismisses any of the names from the past you mentioned, but that's MY opinion. My top 5: 1. Fed 2. Rafi 3. Joker 4. Sampras 5. Borg

Sorry m8, look I’ll be first to admit that sometimes I don’t like him or I think he is not at the “class” of roger or Rafa. I’m very aware of that. However the lineswoman was his mistake there is an absolute rule and if he would have hit it anywhere else nothing would have happened. t’s a part of the fact that he didn’t control his anger which was also not very justified he would have taken carreno busta for sure and probably the tournament. U would never see roger or Rafa in that situation.

So it's an Eastern European prejudice as expressed by...? the media? The West? C'mon, he's completely solidified his place as one of the Big Three--never anything like it..58 grand slams between them? And who else has won any in the past ten years? Murray got a Wimbledon and an epic U.S. Open, and some tall Argentine named Del Potro won a U.S. Open...and that's it.. And the Joker is perfectly poised to move ahead of Roger and Rafa for most grand slams...

@@wehaveasituation don’t forget wawrinka

@@chenshoval4759I know he's good, but what did he win?

This was a bizarre take, and ironically revealing of a subconscious bias you have against Westerners. Interesting.

You know, partialy you May be right, but at the same time I can say one thing in favour of this video. People disregarding of whether they are from East ot West tend to dislike those Who pose a lot. And Novak with all his effort to seem to be a humble guy is a poser comparing to Nadal of Federer.

@@user-vl8dx3jz3z WTF!! Novak seem to be a poser comparing to Nadal of Federer?! C'mon man, you are kiding?

@@user-vl8dx3jz3z As usual the haters turn everything upside down.

@@Milan1502 dont get ofended, i am no hater. I simply judge by personality. If to consider tennis, i like federer's the most than Novak's and Nadals tennis I do not like at all

@@user-vl8dx3jz3z Please dude, you said he was a poser. At least have the dignity not to backtrack.

I live in Canada, I can tell you here Serbian people are very well respected, hard workers, highly educated, Spanish people on the other hand are one with a bad heritage!

@@Lena-lm1nm Spanish people from Spain? Maybe one or two around there and not for long. Canadians are on a very bad heritage then, go and ask about the native children being murdered until a few decades ago at "schools" plus the racist discrimination of the small native population left.

@Bowiththeflow!! I love Rafa because he is open and honest about Novak. Unlike Fed, who I was once a fan of. When Nole was no.3 everyone was ignoring him so I changed my allegiance from Fed to Novak and have loved him, fanatically, ever since. Novak, my number 1. I love Rafa. But Fed, not so much.

@@SueE17 Thank you so much for sharing that with us Susan...just fascinating

Well said,even though there are a few excellent younger players,if the big 3 decided to retire tomorrow,for us who witnessed their greatness in the last 15 years tennis would be boring...😁

i think you summed it up quite well. it's not necessary to love him, everyone is free to love any specific player they connect with but there is also no substantial reason to hate him unless if you start hating him because he breaks racquets which automatically means that no player should be loved except rafa.

@@shikhargovil9579 im agree.

Respect

On the opposite side I love Đoković style of playing. It’s the very smart way! 😄

Ehhh on a per match basis Rafa has chance to still be statistical GOAT he’s just been by far the most unlucky injury wise from 17-36 years old missing 12 GS (03/04 FO + 10 other Wimbledon/USO/AO combined not to mention missing many Masters1000 as well) and also getting hurt in 2016 FO 3rd round the year Fed won. Nadal won 22/64 GS, Novak 20/67, Fed 20/81. If Nadal had much better injury luck and had played in 74-76 GS and no 2016 wrist injury 3rd round of FO he has 25-27 GS right now instead of 22 and 40+ Masters 1000. Novak def been the best since 2011 but Rafa still has best match win % in GS and all matches for that matter. It’s splitting hairs with Novak and Rafa as GOAT imo. Federer game is beautiful and his consistency is awesome but since 2011 Novak 19 GS Rafa 11 Fed 4 I wish they were all the same age as it would be much easier to compare as Fed dominated before they got there and when they were super young 2003-2008 and then as he got older they were 5-6 years younger so it’s hard to compare. Bottom line is all 3 are ILLmatic! They’ve all had super duper close 5 set wins/Ls in huge GS SF/Finals that could of gone the other way too!

He just won french open🥳

Novk's mental sure changed on the court when he was two sets down a few days ago, he turned into an unstoppable beast

Of course he's a legend. He is arguably the GOAT

It's Nadal's knees that have made way for Djokovic to win after 2011..even after 2011 Nadal was able to win against him in many finals and semis

@@max7even284 was not novak's fault that rafa's knee problem aggreveated. and also clearly he improved his game after 2011 which helped him win more. he worked on diets, exercises and most importantly the mental fitness and all those things helped him to win. you are saying yourself that even after 2011 rafa won many times against him. so by your logic if djoko wins then it's rafa's knee and if rafa wins then obviously it's rafa he can do anything.

You aren't active enough on tennis imo. He has a lot of haters

He has many haters

Which planet do you live

Which planet do you live

Except that it has everything to do with him being Serbian. Read the comments internet wide which extended to flat out vilifying Serbia. If all the interviews he gave were in English or at least properly translated from Serbian, maybe people who say he is insincere would get rid of their bias. Why shouldn't he be reserved in front of the press who takes every opportunity to spit on him? I'm from Croatia and the disdain others have for us Balkanians as if we were an inferior race is devastating.

@@Laura892ful Well, I for one don't judge on the basis of origins. Djokovic is a great tennis player but I don't like the guy for the reasons already mentioned.

@@l.t.6180 I totally agree, it's nothing to do with his nationality, for me anyway. Let's face it, as with almost every form of entertainment, we all have our favourites and the ones we don't like, Roger is my favourite, I like Rafa, and just don't like Djokavic. But hey. I don't like Nick Kyrgios or Bernard Tomic either, and I'm an Aussie. But I dislike them for much the same reason as I dislike Novak, same with Serena (Yet I like Venus) I think a lot has to do with the person they are on court. Novak may have calmed a lot now, but first impressions last.

@@ChrisAnderson42 Exactly, for me it's also the way they behave on court and I think the same about the players you mentioned, including Serena as opposed to Venus.

@Danijela 🤣
