Why Is Novak The Least Respected Player Out Of Federer & Nadal?

Novak Djokovic is undoubtedly one of the best tennis

player

s in history, if not the best. His career, especially over the last few years, has been plagued with controversy and he has never received the kind of love and respect that Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have enjoyed despite their enormous success, while almost no prominent public figure has been able to avoid the controversy. Djokovic and his family have been very prone to it, but that is not the only reason why Novak is not as loved as Federer and Nadal, there is much more if I want to know, stay tuned before we start and before they burst into the comments.

I'm not trying to say that Novak doesn't have many fans because that simply wouldn't be true. Djokovic has a huge and wide fan base around the world and is a national hero in Serbia, however, he has not been as

respected

and loved throughout his career as some of his peers, it is difficult to say how many Of his 32 Grand Slam finals the crowd really supported him, that number is shrinking. When you consider the matches played against Federer and Nadal, it is a fact that Djokovic never received the same treatment as the other two and was in the eye of the storm much more often than them.

In this video we will analyze all the reasons. behind that on and off the court, let's of course start at the beginning Novak Djokovic burst onto the front pages of world tennis in 2007 when he won his first Masters 1000 tournaments, reached the final of the US Open and was then number three in the world ranking. At that time the circuit was dominated by Roger Federer who was in his best moment and was considered something close to a God of tennis, no opponent could face him but one Rafael Nadal, the Spaniard and the Swiss were already protagonists of a unique rivalry that divided the world of tennis. between those in love with the federated style and talent versus the supporters of Nadal's passion and criticism in this scenario Djokovic's eruption was like a third wheel a third In Contention in the first instance Novak won the affection of many fans due to his fun and hilarious character. imitations and good humor, but at the same time during that period Djokovic earned his first criticism for supposedly faking injuries and medical problems to take medical time to cool down the matches or rest when necessary, even during these first years Djokovic was not a constant and regular threat against the aspirations of Federer and Nadal.

In 2008 he won the Australian Open but he was still far from reaching the level of the Swiss and the Spaniard. Then came 2011 and in 2011 came Djokovic's long-awaited explosion. In that year, the Serbian completed one of the best seasons in history, winning three grand slams and five Masters 1000, achieving number one in the ranking for the first time and dominating Dull and Federer 10-1 in their matches, however that is not all. What Djokovic achieved that year also managed to break the hegemony of Federado Nadal from that moment on he entered his best moment and became the most dominant

player

on the circuit, the rest is history, well, all this, of course, did not fall to them Good to Federado Nadal fans.

Djokovic was a constant threat to the other members of the circuit. The big three, but at the same time he was also constantly blocking matches in one of the most famous, publicized and anticipated rivalries in the history of tennis. Many argue that Djokovic's playing style was not as attractive as that of Federer and Nadal, while almost no player in history. can match the elegance of Federer's game or the uncompromising attitude and ferocity of Nadals Djokovic was often compared to a robot for his sober but tremendously effective defensive style, as unfair as it may seem, djokovic's incredible success and enormous dominance They turned him into a kind of villain. public enemy in the world of tennis, although Novak refused to play the role that other tennis players like Mcenroe had previously accepted, some of his undetected attitudes have not helped his popularity among fans or some of the gestures and grimaces that the Serbian during matches are perceived as impolite. by tennis fans, especially compared to Federer's elegance and sportsmanship.

Djokovic tends to be very verbal, he laughs ironically and even gets angry destroying rackets much more frequently than the Swiss or the Spaniard, to the point that his anger on the court has led him to be a star. In one of the most memorable incidents in recent times his disqualification in the fourth round of the US open 2020 after hitting a female lion with the ball, although the hit was accidental, the ball was thrown due to Disturbed's frustration with his own performance, this incident created many reactions against him, although all this is true, Novak Djokovic is at the same time one of the most respectful players on the circuit and one of the most elegant, sincere and congratulatory in defeat, he has shown time and again again he has a great sportsmanship spirit. be appreciated for the respect and affection that many of his colleagues have for him, plus Djokovic is always friendly with people at different tournaments and with fans around the world, regardless of what everyone feels about him.

Djokovic has shown that on the court he is a class act most of the time so why doesn't he receive the love and recognition he deserves so let's get off the court and analyze that aspect Beyond the recent controversy in his private life Noel too He has proven to be a class act on more than one occasion and dreams big because You Can Do It. He and his wife and childhood sweetheart, Yelena Djokovic, have received several awards for humanitarian work from their charity Society, while at the same time that Djokovic has shown his fun side off the court in various television shows and advertisements always showing carefree fun. and cheerful about himself despite all this, Djokovic remains controversial and unpleasant to many figures today, apart from the usual tennis fans.

Nola has received criticism from other public figures and journalists around the world. These criticisms are mainly due to two things: some statements from his family and, most importantly, his position regarding the pandemic and the subsequent vaccination. The history of the Djokovic family is truly one of improvement. Djokovic and his brothers grew up in the midst of the Yugoslav wars. listening to the attacks from his bedroom and with their lives literally at risk Fortunately, the family managed to overcome this and Novak reached the top of the world, at

least

as far as tennis is concerned. However, this success has been overshadowed time and again by the behavior of some family members, while Elena and her siblings have maintained a low and uncontroversial attitude. profile The same cannot be said of Novak's parents but his mother Dejana and his father Sir John have expressed themselves on more than one occasion, generating controversy either to defend or praise their son, perhaps the best-known and most discussed altercation. has generated in the world of tennis was the long dispute between the surgeon Djokovic and none other than Roger Federer.

It all started in 2006 when the Swiss criticized the young Novak for excessively demanding medical treatment. The problem worsened in 2008 when Federer told Djokovic's family to keep quiet during a match. It's okay between the two masters Adam Monte Carlo, these situations ignited the anger of the patriarch of the Djokovic family, who never forgave Federer, even in 2021, the surgeon was still upset about the first incident and stated that about 15 years ago Federer attacked to my son when he was still young. He was 18 or 19 years old. I knew there would be someone there who would be better than him, so I said he was a great champion, the best at the time, but as much as he is a great champion, Federer is not that good of a man all the time.

These years Novak's father has taken every opportunity to attack Federer, even urging him to retire on more than one occasion. I'm no specialist, but constantly attacking and criticizing the most universally beloved tennis player doesn't sound like a great PR strategy, either. Noel's parents have defended and defended his son as the greatest player in history, while Roger and Rafa's families take a more modest and respectful approach to the goat debate. Djokovic's parents have described him as the best, even going so far as to declare that their own son only loses matches when he allows his opponents to get the better of him again - not a great PR strategy Novak Djokovic has certainly been a controversial figure throughout of his career, whether due to unfair criticism and villainization from fans or the actions of himself and his family.

Djokovic has not consistently received the love and respect that Federer and Adele have during their first match at the 2023 Australian Open, however, Djokovic received as big an ovation as his incredible career deserves, regardless of how everyone feels about him and what will happen in the years to come, there is no doubt that Novak Djokovic will be remembered as one of the greatest tennis players of all time, if not the best.
