Because he prevented them to blossom into GOAT status... And he isn't westerner's cup of tea....

Congratulations to Novak because he is a true gentleman. A remarkable man and good bloke. All my love to Novak and Serbia. Proust.

He is hated because he is Eastern European and the Establishment do not want him, as the best player in the history of tennis, the West want their champions to keep their fake image of supremacy, their control and manipulation over people, the hated against Djokovici comes from political reasons and mass media lies, now Djokovici did some things that he shouldn't have done, but so did Roger and Rafa, but only Novak is attacked, Rafa entered Australia even though he was covid sick and has no medical exemption, Roger also hit a person with the racquet and he wasn't disqualified, he was also disrespectful to Novak familly, and both Rafa and Roger had anger moments and heated arguments with the umpires but only Novak is criticised.

8:09 Djokovic didn't lied on his Visa application. I really don't understand why people always tried to bring up their own narratives... crazy World

*djokovic did not lie in his VISA application, the law courts confirmed his exemption was valid

It speaks volumes how much good other players have to say about him. None of us know him on a personal level like they do. Despite Novak's dominance, he appears the most human of the big three and doesn't feel like a PR generated persona (For better or worse).

nole was not supposed to beat fedal... he broke the rules by saying that he would beat them in 2007! Made fedal fans angry, all of them juste ate him up... 10 years later nole is surpassing all their records and now is hated for simply being the best, simply for the fact of having destroyed their favourite player multiple times

I think Novak is outspokenly joyous and happy because he’s coming from the biggest disparity of war torn impoverished Serbia…….to the highest acme of success as arguably the greatest tennis player ever? You’d be much proud also considering the distance of the road he left behind to get where he now is, if you were him? I get his loud outbursts! I get it! Ripping his shirt off! I get it! I understand and empathize with Novak and am very proud of his success and share his joy. Nadal and Federer come from much more comfortable upbringings with successful families that financed their tennis stardom. And you can’t fault them. You can’t hate someone born into money. They couldn’t help it. But my point is just this: When you’re at the top like Novak, you remember where you come from! And you fight much harder to stay there because you’ve come from such a low point in life……a low point that Federer and Nadal cant ever know…….thereby they’re not no where as happy as Novak after a grand slam win. Nadal and Federer were happy after a grand slam win. But Novak was very much happier because he knows he’s come from a harder path. The pros and cons of life. There is a good side to humble beginnings………it’s that you’ll appreciate success much more than those who haven’t come as far. That passionate fierce determination to protect what is now yours………..Novak has that fierce determination of a warrior having to fight his way all his life and all the time. as he sees where he came from. Nadal and Federer will never know success like Novak. So a message to all of you hating Novak for being happy………….,,,,get over it!

Federer breaks his racquet : "He is so classy!" Djokovic breaks his racquet: "What a monster!"

He got the Hardest way to reach top compared with other two. Nevertheless he managed and delivered.

Simply, tennis is the sport of the West, it is the most developed and the most popular there, all the greatest players are from the West in 98 percent of cases, Federer and Nadal are the greatest among the greatest and they are the greatest heroes for the Western world, especially Federer, it appears Novak from small Serbia, which is generally not a tennis power and is not yet a western country, he has turned everything upside down, the whole of tennis as a sport, and he is so strong that he is very likely to be the most successful tennis player ever, therefore also the greatest, in my opinion, the western world in general cannot accept the fact that the world's greatest tennis player doesn't come from their world is incomprehensible to them, and that's why whenever they can they downplay his greatness, that's my opinion, otherwise in the rest of the world he's very popular.

Least loved sure. Least respected, not so much. Tennis wise, I think he is the most respected tennis player ever.

As a Rafa fan, I don’t get all the negative reaction to Novak. He has been a joy to watch all these years (as they all have) and I can admit he is the best overall ever, followed by Rafa and then Roger at #3. He will own almost all the records when he is done and the head to heads.

You are so right about this. It's the PR disaster. Roger was extremely hateful when he started losing to both Nadal (whom he called a one-dimensional player) and Novak (mocking injuries, saying lucky shots on losing match points). But somehow his PR team did a better job. Nadal, at one point always mentioned his injuries after losing. It's like Nadal never loses, he either wins a GS or is injured. But his PR team did well. In reality, the fedal fanbase's combined opinions don't matter compared to what the past players (Sampras, Agassi, Roddick, or current players Zverev, Tsitsipas, Medvedev, Thiem, Shapovalov, or even Kyrgious have to say about Novak - Nothing but all praise.

Djokovic is always gracious in defeat. Federer not so. He never speaks after losing to Djokovic, just a short handshake. Why don't you mention that?

Because he’s a good person so he triggers narcissistic psychopaths (they fear him on an existential level).

ALSO, I like FEDERER... BUT FEDERER was BEASTLY towards Novak, when Novak was younger, and used to retire from the matches - because he was in very much pain! AT THAT TIME, Novak did Not Know that he was Allergic to Gluten, and the doctors he saw.... could not explain his medical problems! It was Only when a Serbian doctor saw Novak on TV, he contacted Novak's parents and asked them to test Novak for allergies. The Rest is History🙏

The westerners would never accept a former communist slavic person, so it is not about Novak's personality at all

he rly is just the GOAT man, people just hate to see their fav player being humbled by novak, IDEMO NOVAK UR FAN FOREVER 🇷🇸🤍💙❤️

Tbh I am starting to see more people talk about how he is hated than people actually hating him. I have definitely seen a turn in the last 9 months, where amongst true tennis fans he is truly popular now. Great analysis though, particularly regarding the early stages of his career

You have tried to hard to show how evenhanded you are. Shame you didn’t succeed. Novak is such a huge human being on and off the court.

We love Novak both as both a tennis player and personality

Novak Djokovic was systematically became a villain through mass psychosis of subversion by creating controversies around him and always putting him into bad spotlight whilst always taking care of Roger and Rafa's image by putting always them on good spot light. Social media posts, newspapers, discussions, debates, commentaries, are prime example, you'll hardly see or hear anything bad about them. It makes huge contribution in shaping up the mindset of the crowd. They both were like role models and they are presented like one all the time. This is a technique of Subversion usually used by political wings and were used by the colonizers few centuries back. In the court the crowd sheerly hated him coz he was beating their favorite players on regular basis. The intensity of hate he received on ground for being these good culminated Novak into a mental giant, though at times he needed to burst out his emotions coz of lack of respect and constant interruptions. He was merely returning the favour, something which Roger and Rafa never faced in their lifetime except for few occasions when they were facing each other. The fan favorites Rafa and Roger never took stand against government policies. They were the " Yes Sir " guys contrary to Novak Who remains always vocal whether it's the government policies or the corruption in ATP. This very attitude of Novak costs him dearly and he also became a villain political arena. Novak's attitude of taking a stand and speaking his mind, showing raw emotions on and off the court, being genuine and true to himself irked many corporations and brands. If he should have remain neutral or a " Yes Sir" guy things would have been different. But, he is built different, may coz of the circumstances where he grew around. May be he shouldn't have advocated for the "Freedom of Choice" and joined the herd of sheeps. But he is a 🐺. PS: I a world full of people masqueraded as Batman, Novak Djokovic is the Joker.

because he is the muhamad ali of tennis and because he is better then uncle sams federer and nadal. M.ALI was also the most hated boxer in his actual career in the 60s and early 70s. Ali haters were back then the white americans, the media, politic ect exact like by djokovic-. So how the people talking right now about djokovic, so they also talking about muhamad ali back then in the 60s...- But great thing is that ali haters must see how ali becames the GOAT in boxing and today nobody remember the haters from ali. AND IN 10-20 years nobody will bbe remember the haters from djokovic. THE people in 20 years will bee laughing abot the haters clowns and how desperate they a was. Djokovic is the muhamad ali of tennis and the haters have contributed... contributed to it..THAT IS THE TRUE

He is the most respected, he prooved himself to be much more than just the goat of tennis by his stance and morals outside the game.

You really need to rephrase the title of this video - Djokovic gets the hate but only in the western countries:- US, UK and some parts of EU. Everywhere else, Djokovic is respected and loved, and he deserves that love. As for the reason for the hate, don't blame Djokovic's parents (plenty of tennis players have annoying parents, e.g. Tsitsipas senior, Uncle Tony Nadal, Judy Murray, who openly gloated on video when Djokovic failed to win the Grand Slam at US Open in 2021, etc. Don't blame his fans, most of which are decent people, just like most of other tennis players fans. In any group of fans, you will always find a few bad apples, but only Djokovic's fans get the blame. Don't blame Djokovic's early retirements either. If you wanted to be fair, you would have reported that Djokovic's breathing issues were eventually resolved when he had an operation on his nose. He also suffered from Celiac disease, but when he discovered the cause (allergy to gluten), he changed his diet and fixed the problem, and it's been 15 years since then! Blame the western press, who take every opportunity, even now, to badmouth Djokovic. They do this quite deliberately and knowingly, and most of these same stories are PLACEMENTS by the corporates who have invested billions of dollars into Federer, and almost as much into Nadal. Just look at the list of Federer's sponsors:- Credit Suisse, Rolex, Moet & Chandon, Lindtt, Mercedes, etc. etc. These are all elite products, being promoted by Federer, and his promotional value is reduced if he is not considered the best. The promotional line "The second best player wears Rolex" just doesn't cut it, and these corporates do as much as they can to protect their billions of investments into Federer being the top dog. While Federer was ahead in the number of Majors, all was well, and the media were full of stories praising the greatest ever Federer, while denigrating Djokovic, who was immediately recognised as a threat to their lucrative investment. When Djokovic showed that he would overtake Federer and his records, the story line changed, now the promoters (through the media) put out stories how numbers don't matter, it's all about style and elegance and Federer was by far the most elegant player. Then, as Federer's elegance dwindled, and his losses became the norm, there was an overwhelming gushing of love from the media for Federer, the most loved tennis player, while Djokovic was the most hated player who wanted the love of the fans but couldn't get it, i.e. Federer is still the greatest because he is most popular (in the west - but no one ever says so explicitly). You and your video are playing into the same game with this video. Have you been paid a commission for ding this video, or are you just following the herd, because it's a popular thing to do? You might not be aware, but Federer, even though he retired last year, but hasn't really played from 2020, he is still the highest paid tennis player in terms of sponsorship money. And he will continue to earn his 100 million dollars approx per year for as long as there are corrupted reporters willing to write what the corporates need them to say. They need to protect their investment into Federer by fair means or foul, and it's mostly been foul. All tennis players have real and true fans, people who follow their matches, enjoy their successes, support and succour them when they lose. And Federer certainly has many of these, but the vast majority of Federer's fans are people who know very little about tennis - people who have bought into the lifestyle - they like to identify with the people who drive Merks, wear Rolexes, sip Champagne, invest in Credit Suisse, etc, and who get the best seats at Wimbledon, at Flushing Meaddows, at Roland Garros and in the Rod Laver Arena - to them Federer is a symbol of everything they aspire to, and it (including Federer himself) must be the best. Any threat to Federer being perceived as anything other than the greatest, is to them almost an eexistential threat. They have really been sold the lifestyle dream by the advertisers and promoters that they don't even think about it - those who aspire to such a lifestyle love Federer and hate Djokovic by definition! All nicely created by the promoters and advertisers of many of the most elite brands in the world. Outside of the rich US, EU and UK markets, the artificial promotion hasn't taken such a hold, and in other, larger part of the world, Djokovic is very much loved and appreciated. But we never get to hear about those parts of the world. There - now you know the reason why people in the West hate Djokovic.

The power of PR. They had big backings from big companies and also big backing from the tennis media. Whatever Novak did would have been bad. They tried so hard to break Novak. Like a phoenix he has risen and now he is on top. I am so happy that I am not a sheep. We do not follow we lead. I never listen to the lies that they said about Novak. I continued to be a fan and I will always be.

Hmm. Has a Poll or a Survey been taken to substantiate this. Is this just the Reporter's personal view? Personally I think Roger is More professional than anybody else. More Reserved and more Private. He comes off as keeping to himself and not wanting to Rattle anybody's chain. I love his game. Rafa: I Respect his game. But He's my least favorite. He comes off as Arrogant and Picks his ass, and that's a TOTAL turn off for me. It's disgusting. If ANYBODY in my circle would ever pick his ass the Rafa does, Oh man, I'd call him out EVERY chance I could/can. Novac: Well he's just Grateful for EVERYTHING he has. He lived through war and saw war first hand and is a beautiful person inside out and Godfearing and doesn't have as much of a problem as the others when it comes to speaking his mind. I Respect that a lot. He's winning the Head to Head encounters against the others and has as many GS's as Nadal. So to me he's the GOAT of Goats. The numbers don't lie.

Bruh did you just say that Djoker lied on his Visa application?

He isn't the least respected at all. Just that Fedal fans can't accept it. I am myself a huge fan of Federer's style of play, Nadal's style not so much although I respect his achievements and can't-break-me spirit till the last point. But it's Djokovic who's truly made his mark in an era of 2 other GOATS and surpassed them. Novak's achievements are the most supreme and his game is also the most complete. And that gets Fedal fans sore because they can't accept it.

Well, if he’s hated cause of his vaccine stance, he won’t always be, cause people’s opinions are starting to turn 180 degrees on the matter. By the time the governmental players told us we should get jabs five… then six… then seven, people started to wonder if the jab wasn’t al it promised to be.

Honestly well before a lot of this stuff happened people didn't like him. Frankly I get why people might like a Federer more because he's pretty classy but people let Nadal get away with a lot. Basically does the same stuff as Novak (getting visibly angry, medical shenanigans etc.) in addition to clearly being a poor sport when he loses

Absolutely Love Federer , and think he is the best player ever , despite not holding the record . He was an artist with every shot in the book plus some more . That said , I also love and respect Novak even more for his courage and conviction , his conservatism in a world where pro athletes constantly lecture us and virtue signal - he does none of that . He also speaks several languages well , yet Nadal can barely speak English despite 20 years as a pro. Also, on an aesthetic level , Nadal is painful to watch with his clock stretching and annoying pre-serve idiosyncrasies , and his relentless , Terminator style of play with little nuance , just grinding out victories on clay in a trench warfare mode. Novak is much more interesting , and the media (no doubt anti- Serb , for historical reasons ) have a vested interest in treating him unfairly as their bias only runs one way - left. Anyway , that's my take .

Great review. I am Serbian and I have to say that you were totally objective. Everything you said is absolutely true. Every word. Very good review.

There are main reasons 1. Not only he is Slav, he is wrong Slav - Serbian aka Russian's brothers. 2. Nadal & Federer seem to hate him from the start for being better than them. 3. Thus media is insanely biased portraying him as a villian while protecting them at all costs. This video is factually wrong in so many statements. Accusing a player of faking injuries without giving a context of his health problems, which he solved. Accuinng him of "throwing a ball in frustration" and cutting a video just after his head turn, while he was simply delivering it back to ball boys, just like everyone else, not even watching. And ending this segment with "while all this true", while like 80% of "facts" mentioned are not. Not even mentioning that basically ALL that is said about covid "controvevrsy" is a biased opinion and a lie. His visa and all other documents were good, which was proven in court, while his deportation was absolutely political, which the governent officials stated themselves. Only ones who were offended by his opinion on Covid were journos. His social accounts grew like twice and he literally trancended tennis, gaining support of politicians, media influencers & so on who had zero interest in tennis before this scandal. P.S. Every time some tennis journo says "Nadal's sportsmanship", his face should be put to the screen to re-watch numerous times their idol cheated, called his opponents to the net, was "medically evaluated" magically winning when matches that he wa detroyed in, faked injuries & so on.

Novak Dokovič is the goat,he never lie,He is the best player on the planet.

Forget media - Novak is respected way more than you are trying to paint it.

Not only the greatest player of all time but the greatest sports person of all time.

Novak got the best out of him when the croud was against him in the court.

I have never been inspired by Fedal to change my diet so that my body could be at optimal health. I have never seen fed accepting defeat in grace, he acts like he should win no matter how much better the opponent plays. I have not heard praise from fed about anyone. His grandiosity is disgusting. Never seen Fed speaking up for other low rank players, let alone doing things for them. Fed is so full of himself, he doesn't even acknowledge under 18 players when they win any titles. Nothing against Rafa. He works really hard, a very humble person, never misbehaved and just gives his best. Novak inspired many of us on so many levels. To have a competitive mindset, to have a healthy dose of confidence coupled with positive ego, mental resilience, physical endurance and above all, grace whether in wins or loses - A complete player from a not so regular background. Plus, the Fed fans are getting really annoying and toxic. Rafa and Nole fans are genuine tennis fans, appreciating real tennis and actually knowing what they talk about.

I don't know about that man. He should be the most respected, for having the gut to stand against forced vaccine tyranny, by himself, without any support from 99% of players, including the two big chickens Federer and Nadal. And again, he's the only one speaking out about the disappearance of Peng Shuai, the Chinese player who "disapeared" after speaking out about sexyal harassment. Once again, not a single crackle from the two big hens Federer and Nadal. And I say this as a Federer fan (for the way he played tennis only). But Djokovic is the real package, in and out of tennis.

He is not as loved as the other, elegance of Rogers game or die hard ferocity and nature of Nadal, Federes elegance and Nadals sportsmanship, Nadals and Roger are gentlemans. When the paid media says this for over a decade that the NPC's can't think for themselves and can't mention the 2 without this one of the above bs. Novak plays for every point the hardest and gives up the point the least out of probably everyone on the tour but instead of saying he has "die hard nature and ferocity" the paid media started calling it playing like a robot not giving him the respect and after many years thats how you npc's think now. How about you talk about how the "gentelmans" had their matched fixed at US for years to have an easier way the finals and "it was not for Nadal or Roger its just that they where the n1 and n2 at that point" excuse by US open till 2011. Or about how its statistically impossible for 4 years (2007-2010) in 12 GS Roger was always draw to play Novak in semis because he had an easier time against him and Nadal played against Andy in semis because he had an easier time agains him, while vice versa Novak and Andy had higher chance to beat them. Only French open was not fixed because nobody expected Nadal to lose. Or how about the gentelmans and spontmans not supporting Novak when he wanted tournaments to give more of the prize money to lower placed players he was hated for this by the media. Or how they did not support Novak at AO when the court said he didn't break any rules and only reason he got deported was because a single politicians had the power to deport anyone and he used it on Novak. Or how Nadal and Roger where pressuring ATP to remove point from wimby as to "punish them for not allowing russian to play" as ambassadors when 90% of the players where agains it and not only do they not punish Wimby as expected by everyone, with that desicion they punish the players. But Fedal had no points to deffend while Novak had, its totally not intentional. And then the very same Fedal go on the Wimby celebration or somethig like honored guest, where they not against Wimby and wanted to punish them why go then and support it? I am waiting for a day a Fedal fan channel to talk about all the Fedals bs expecialy admiting to favoritism and matchfixing but it will probably never happen, at least any time soon.

You can only hate him.... Nothing else... He is the best ,period

Ne mogu da se pomire sa činjenicom da je No1e najbolji G.O.A.T. 🐐❤️🔥💪🇷🇸

Come July 2023, and Djoko is just, with quite some margin the greatest tennis player ever in ALL respects. Some of his returns are just impossible. And he is such an incredible delight to watch, so hope he'll be around quite a bit longer.

Que absurdo essa conspiração contra NOLE... É Vergonhoso!

Djokovic is the greatest tennis player that has ever existed.period.

These all reasons are nonsense. Novak is honest, intelligent, educated and at the end Slav. Comparing to Nadal and Federer he is the GOAT as a person.

I love him. What a load of BS.😂

I was never that big of a fan of Federer or Nadal. I didn't hate them, I just wasn't rooting for them more than any other player. I was waiting for someone to come along to replace my fandom I had for Andre Agassi. And early on I recognized that Djokovic had a better toolset than Federer or Nadal. And I've been a fan of Djokovic's ever since. A decision that hit the mark, I was very fortunate to choose the eventual GOAT IMO.

I don’t think Djokovic isn’t respected. I think he’s respected even by folks that really hate him. He’s not liked as much as rafa or roger but i think he’s more respected than the other 2.

The actual answer for this question is, his tennis is boring. He has better technique He has better stamina He has better mental fortitude He is statistically the GOAT But he never made Tennis an exhilarating experience. For some weird reason, the recent match between Carlos and Novak made me miss Federer and Nadal on the tour. The level at which the big 3 played against each other was different. The match ups were different. The rallies were different and entire vibe was different. But I dont really agree with the fact the people hated him. He always seemed a nice and humble guy to me which is evident from the way he appreciates his opponents during his losses. But the problem is the world was already divided between Federer and Nadal. It was just that people loved Federer more. And it had more to do with the kind of Tennis he played. May not be as effective as Nole but his elegance was unmatchable. Same with Nadal. Those long rallies and the amount of grit and passion that he brought was unparalleled. Novak on the other hand probably has more neutral fanbase. People know that he is a better player across all the surfaces. Just that he is not as loved as the other two. Hated more??? No way

Novak GOAT! You see Federer and Nadal won over 40% of their Grand Slams while Novak was not yet on the big stage, while Novak won all his Grand Slams by winning in the finals against Federer and Nadal when they seemed to be the favourites. Further, Novak won more one on one matches in total against both Federer and Nadal. Novak is also the player who did spend more weeks as No1 player on the ATP list than anyone else in the history of tennis. And he is not done yet...

It's all prejudice! The reason why Novak is hated by the heads of the tennis world is because he's from Eastern Europe (Poor Europe). Western Europe (Rich Europe) invented tennis and have the resources to train their children to be the best. Poor countries don't have as much of an opportunity to train their athletes because they are poor. And when a poor boy from the other side of the tracks comes out of nowhere and takes over tennis, it's gonna ruffle some feathers. They hate Novak because he's a commoner / serf who beat all the rich kids!

Novak Djokovic is a highly respected player He is much loved. Do no talk crsp.

bad video and bad take. Novak is the best tennis player in the history, Period. Don't muddy the water. And I am long time Federer fan.

How ironic, novak surpass roger and nadal in grand slams, what makes it more interesting is that novak is still healthy, he can win 3 to 5 more grand slams

Cause he's milestones better than Fedal together!!! He's The Greatest tennis player who ever played the game 🏆🏆🏆🎖️🥇👑🤡🇷🇸🐐🐐🐐🇷🇸

Personally I never paid much attention to him because of the attitude he had on court sometimes. He used to whine a lot, and I see he still does it a bit. Putting that aside I would like him to win a bunch of more slams just so he makes a bigger record harder to beat. I honestly expected him to have more than 25 slams by now.

math and statistics say nole is the greatest of all time

Well I respect all 3 of them equally. And I respect Novak a lot too . Who said people don't respect him . Just bc he didn't put a thing in his body that everyone did doesn't mean he gets to be disrespected.

There was time when Roger should have told his wife to keep quiet, that match vs Wawrinka, he's supposedly friend 😆😆

He’s amazing. Get over it

And YOUR Nasty comment about Novak's mom is DISGUSTING!!! 🤢 Diana has Never put a foot wrong, and couldn't ever do it, simply because she is Kind😍 and an Epitome of a LADY 💖🤩 Novak's father is a traditionalist, he is a loving💖father and a Very HONOURABLE person! Like I said, I Like ROGER - but, AT THAT TIME - Roger was Absolutely BEASTLY towards the young Novak, and Very ARROGANT... and completely Devoid of Compassion towards the young😍Novak! And I think that Now - Roger and Nole have come to like and Respect one another very much!🙏

Nole has True Grit.

And also he broke all the covid rules and refused the testing which didn’t help his popularity either , personally I don’t like him but I do respect him as a great tennis player

If theres one person that can end the GOAT debate its him because if you look at Alcaraz and how people debate "oh if he played during the big 3 era he wouldn't stand a chance" but Djoker did play in the big 3 era and the numbers don't lie

Novak is simply the BEST!

Because he's not the model media wants us to be (thus being a model even more).

He is the least respected because everyone loves a rivalry.. He broke up what would have been a rivalry of the decades and made the conversation about three men and not 2.. Then he made it about 1 man above 2.. I would say the biggest indicator of how great Novak is.. Is the way he made Federer fans love Nadal and Nadal fans love Federer. Kind of like a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" kind of thing..

8:08 He didn't lied on his visa application. It's his team making the mistake.

Djoker is a complicated man, and this is from someone who does not know him, but just from what I read or from seeing him in action or interviews. We see the amazing tennis, we see his father, we see the gamesmanship, the family man, and the big heart. But I also think he IS the least likable of the three, and the most transparent, too. All three have HUGE egos, but Novak permits more of his to see the light of day. There is a cost for that honesty. Just look at the vax debate, and how that looks now? I suspect all three would be fun to have lunch with. The women in the lives seem to be happy with their lot, too. I'll bet they are all good fathers. We (the sports and tennis fans) have been truly blessed to see this wonderful time in tennis and professional sports. If you ask me, who is the best, I'll say Djoker, because the records and the eyes say so. But did I or do I usually root for Djokovic? No.

Nole fans always claim that if Nole had the same support as Fedal, he would be unbeatable. Well, they forget Rafa was hated at RG and still destroyed Nole every single time, simply by being quiet. In 2022 he fairly deserved all the support in their QF match. Don't get mad, I love Nole as a person, but some things are not talked about very often...

Best, Best Best Sory

It's amazing how everyone ignores the fact Nadal wasn't liked so mutch at the early years he fought himself to be liked. People loved Federer. And Fed fans where bashing Nadal the tennis world was bashing Nadal for his style saying he has no technique he whont last long ect... He will never win more than 1 Wimbledon said by novak and fed fan. He whont win on hard court I mean the story Goes on.. Yet we see more people complain about Novak being hated.. Novak is the most admitted player by true tennis fans.. Who actually understands and loves tennis.. His style have always been dominating. Now as he has a decent technique nothing unique like fed or Nadal that stake out from the rest. That's why people cheer for Nadal or fed more. It's not trying be negative twoards novak. Unless ur a toxic fan they are unfortunately everywhere

The goat debate is over for now. There is one and only GOAT #23 Roland Garros 2023

I'll make it SIMPLE..... Imagine if Neymar had suddenly eclipsed both Ronaldo-Messi dominance and become the best player in the world of football, surpassing all their achievements and statistics..... That's what Nole did to Fed-Nadal..... beat both convincingly and multiple times and eclipsed ALL the Records..... And the Fedal fanbases Got triggered 😂😂 Other Tennis fans like me realised a long time ago..... that Nole would Beat them all and there's no point in living in Denial!! ( I was a long time Fed fan, but Nole is simply BETTER....and I have no problem accepting that! )

When you take a bathroom break and you come back running better in the 5th set than the first set I question what's going on😊

Nole is well respected by his tennis peers. Only FEDAL haters fans hate him for taking down the Fedal rivalry

is the least respected only by fans, who see only what they want to see and ignore the whole picture based on personal tastes and beliefs

It does not matter how many trophies or money Djorkovic has.He will never be the worlds favourite player.It’s is stubborness and entitlement that turns people off.Federer and Nadal will always have that place.Sorry I had it with him especially when he refused to take a drug test in one of these smaller matches earlier this year.

Regardless of weather you are loved or hated. Novak is the goat when you look at all 3 of their grand slam history.

you mispelt... its novax djocovid

When he won the AO he jumped onto the stands where his family were sitting, something that Rafa always does!!!

His father is absolute gem ( of a nutcase ;))

Love the guy...😊

Oprostite nismo znali da ste to mesto rezervisali za Federera. Žao nam je No1e GOAT

This is easy. Tennis always marginalizes great players who do not conform to upper class sensibilities. Djokovic is middle class culturally and doesn't aspire to social climbing. This is a sin in tennis. Furthermore, this is why Federer and Nadal are so loved. Together they acted as police for the upper class sensibility. Djokovic is a better player and I suspect a better human being than the other two, who feel sorry and dislike people under a certain class level. Tennis is many things, but it's purpose in the global control grid is to reinforce that anyone that becomes elite must also become elitist or else they will pay a social price, and often a monetary and emotional price too. All have been paid by Djokovic. What is the difference between being elite and elitist? Glad you asked. Being elite means you are one of the best. Being elitist means you eliminate/resist loyalty to non-elites and consider them of lesser worth and dignity to elites. This is a big difference. Being elitist also means going along to get along - never rocking the boat. This culture is a giant layer of insulation to the people in control of the world because the entire upper class constantly reinforces by their attitudes that none of us should ever go against the grain. Non-elitist elites are probably the most dangerous thing to the globalists because they can strongly influence people against them. For instance Djokovic took a stand against the COV!D vaccine, paid a big price, won the fight, and has been vindicated. Who knows how many lives he saved doing that, but he is still hated for it quietly in tennis. Djokovic is a hero.

Federer and Nadal were both extremely popular and brought millions of new fans to tennis worldwide but most of these fans were (are) not 'real' tennis fans but rather 'player' fans. Same applies to Novak. When all is said and done and all three are retired, many of these so called fans won't even watch tennis anymore. The likes of Sinner, Rune and Alcaraz aren't exciting enough to hold their interest.

He is the best rigjt now. He stands behing his words. He thinks with his head about vacc. too. He is The G.O.A.T. ❤

I'm more of a fed fan and I also priefer Nadal's game to Djokovic's but I never quite understood the hate for the guy. He's an all time great and even back in 2006, when I first started watching tennis, he already seemed like a pretty nice guy. I mean, I'm not found of his occasional t-shirt ripping ceremonies but the guy is nonetheless impeccable on court, showing outmost respect for his opponents. And he did more for the underclassed players than Nadal or Federer ever did when they could.

Whether he's the GOAT or not...he'll always be the third wheel. He's undoubtedly the most complete player among the Big 3 but that doesn't necessarily make him a tennis fan's dream. He'll land up with the most number of GS but with less adulation. It's just how it is... Just like in F1, Hamilton has more titles than Senna and more wins than Schumacher...but still can't hold a candle to them when it comes to sheer impact and legacy.

I don't care what anybody says Djokovic is the GOAT .You are not going to tell me Fedal when they got annihilated for a decade since 2011 .I also think Nadal is number 2 because he won all his slams against Federer and Djokovic while Federer amassed his slams in a weak era and barely won anything after the other two came into their primes .And his game was even better than ever despite his age .

Tennis is a gentleman's sport. He ain't no gentleman. Form is temporary, class is permanent. he may put on a face of sincerity every then and now, but underneath he's never been as good of a sportsman.

This just says that you have to become a villain, a killer, a beast to be on the top of the mountain.

jealousy and envy is an ugly thing ... Novak thinks for himself and doesn't simply go along with the herd ... he lives by a strict code of conduct ... he stands up for himself and what he believes is right ... he is a man of integrity ... and will not be dictated to ... He inspires me to be a better man. Long may he continue dominating mens tennis. Goooooooooo Novak!!!

Because he faked injuries, medical timeout, 30 seconds to serve and be will do anything to disturb the adversaries focus (in general all the dirty trick he can use) and the worsts are his long toilet break where he regain his focus and perturb the momentum of the adversaries he won so much final with that tactics i consider allons-y like cheating. There are reasons why people disliked him

Vamos Carlito!!!!

Novak is a bit of a weirdo -- the antivax stuff and sense of entitlement with that, the odd links to Serbian nationalist historians, his cooky wife, his dad who hangs out with people wearing Z shirts.... There's just a whiff of oddness about Novak that a lot of people can pick up on. Of course he's the best player of his generation, that's clear, and he's respected massively because of that

I have always thought it is because he is from Serbia and not other parts of Europe!
