Why do people dislike novak djokovic

The Spaniard, whose best grand slam performance was reaching the second round of the French Open, unapologetically claims credit for the Serb's success. Imaz is the divine inspiration behind Novak's "boob-throwing" celebration.

The guru famously runs sessions wherein his adoring followers engage in extended group hugs. It was on Pepe's advice, and the learnings of these group love sessions, that Djokovic begun his post-win ritual of effusively gesturing to the crowd.

Novak's belief in telekinesis and telepathy is a product of his tutelage under Imaz. It was also Imaz who turned gluten-intolerant Djokovic onto a plant-based diet. In his memoir Serve to Win , Novak describes a scientifically dubious, likely Imaz-inspired method of testing his intolerance to gluten.

It was easy for me to resist and keep the arm straight. Then I held a slice of white bread against my stomach and held my right arm out again. When my wife applied pressure this time, my resistance dropped more dramatically than Rafael Nadal's world ranking. Perhaps it was true to form that in April , as the coronavirus pandemic reached fever pitch, Novak Djokovic came out as an anti-vaxxer. Amidst a storm of criticism, he later clarified his position on taking a vaccine.

But if it becomes compulsory, I will have to make a decision whether to do it, or not. Weeks later, Jelena Djokovic did her husband no favors by sharing a minute video to her , Instagram followers that claimed 5G caused the coronavirus pandemic — a widely-debunked conspiracy theory.

Literally no one:. Novak Djokovic: Let's hold a tennis tour, with full crowds, at the height of a global pandemic. One can assume hosting the tour with ill-regard for the danger of the coronavirus stems from Novak's obsession with new age medicine. It's proponents are loudly sceptical of conventional medicine's claims — COVID and its dangers prime among them. It came as no surprise that the Adria Tour turned into a coronavirus cluster fuck.

Novak's coach, Goran Ivanisevic, also tested positive. On Instagram, Djokovic chronicled the alarming lack of social distancing on tour, with players taking group photos and playing basketball. Full crowds were also permitted, at a time when most professional sports except the UFC dared not even host events, let alone one packed with spectators. Video also emerged of Djokovic casting off all social distancing inhibitions at a packed Belgrade cabaret club.

Djokovic gave him a steely star before winning the final point and blowing him a kiss to remind him of his invincibility. Bizarrely, there was some booing as he went up to make his speech after his latest win, but Djokovic must have accepted his fate long ago.

He is a great ambassador for tennis, does so much for good causes with his charity work, shows professionalism few have ever matched, but a bronze medal may be the best he will get in the eyes of the public. Even if he ends up winning more Grand Slam titles than any other player, the most popular players in tennis will be Federer first, Nadal second and the third seems destined to be whoever is playing Djokovic.

The year-old beat Korda 5 to become the first Spaniard to triumph in the prestigious and-under event. Sonay Kartal produced the best win of her career as she beat world No. Djokovic is aiming to win his first ATP Finals title since Novak Djokovic is not the first tennis player to be handed the tag of 'perfect'; he isn't even the first of his own era to earn that disctinction. For years, it was Roger Federer who had the image of being the "Mr.

In fact, the tag was almost made official through Federer's branding and merchandise; he was literally sold as peRFect. But The Mighty Fed never had to face the wrath of the crowd or social media the way Djokovic does. Instead he got home-like support wherever he played, and had a cult-like religious following wherever he went. So why does Novak Djokovic receive hate for the same thing that Roger Federer was universally loved for? Is it because Djokovic is actually perfect?

Is it because he has become a god to Federer's king? While many have made their peace with reality, there is a section of the "Fedal crowd" which still shies from admitting Novak Djokovic's flawlessness. So they perpetuate another implausible argument; that Djokovic is too robotic and boring. They claim that there is nothing spectacular in Djokovic's game, the way there is in Federer's or Nadal's.

And that in turn intensifies their hatred for the Serb. I agree with them to an extent; Djokovic doesn't hit as many picturesque "hot shots" as Federer or Nadal do. But that's only because he doesn't need to. Djokovic has mastered his art so well that he is never even put into a position that needs something astonishing to get out of. You only need to produce something outside the ordinary to overcome a weakness in the ordinary.

And that is what Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have been producing throughout their careers. Federer has always had a tangible weakness: his backhand. The Swiss Maestro has for years been trying to hide that by taking time away from his opponents, thus depriving them of the chance to exploit his weaker wing. And on some occasions he has managed to get away by slicing his backhand and dashing to the net, relying on his incredible hand skills to do all the work.

Rafael Nadal's biggest weakness has been his very first shot: the serve. That sub-par serve has made the Spaniard push the boundaries of baseline play and produce a style of tennis never seen before. As a teenage prodigy, Nadal reached a level of athleticism and endurance that most seasoned pros could only dream of.

Both Federer and Nadal have done exceptionally well to overcome their weaknesses. After all, each of them does have more Slams than all but two other players in the history of the game. But what if you don't have a weakness? What if you have achieved a perfect balance of every aspect of the game?

What if you're Novak Djokovic? Yes, it is fairly evident now that Djokovic is the perfect tennis player. Or as close to being the perfect tennis player as anyone has ever been. He plays modern tennis the way it is meant to be played. There is no need for him to do something that appears spectacular to a casual fan's eyes, because to a trained eye everything he does is technically spectacular.

Djokovic's groundstrokes are perfectly placed; he hits them with a precision that would compete with a hawk diving towards its prey.

The Serb doesn't waste energy in hitting hard either, because his timing is so smooth.
