The world of tennis knows the number one in the world Novak Djokovic is the greatest tennis player he has ever had. Subjectively, tennis experts believe it is a step ahead of his rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. In addition, the Serbian holds head-to-head against both Federer and Nadal.
Some experts have predicted that Novak will soon break the unprecedented records created on the men’s tennis court. And probably one day he will get the GOAT crown.
However, despite his unmatched tennis and his ability to dominate sport in the “strong” era, Djokovic has a void in his career when it comes to popularity. His fan base isn’t as huge as Federer’s or Nadal’s.
Even when he blocks the horns against his opponents, especially at the Major, more than half of the stadium cheers on Novak’s opponent. 1992 According to Olympic gold medalist Marc Rosset from Switzerland, it is difficult for Novak to earn a place in the hearts of tennis fans as the other two have done in their careers. It is not as popular as Federer or Nadal among tennis fans.
Novak Djokovic vs “Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal”
“It’s difficult for him to compete with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in terms of popularity”, Marc Rosset told Bluewin. “I can understand how frustrating it is for him. He is number one in the world and a great player, but he faces two legends. “
Recently, Novak Djokovic has raised enough criticism in tennis to bring down Adria Tour (a charity event hosted by Novak). It led to the spread of coronavirus during the tennis tour. In addition, Novak’s father accused Grigor Dimitrov of the fiasco. He said the bankruptcy was all because of Dimitrov. Ever since he was the first player to test positive for coronavirus. Later, the other ATP men were infected with the virus including Djokovic.
All this has earned Djokovic a negative image in the world of sport, endangering the lives of players and the public.
“But, between his father’s statements and the Adria Tour fiasco, he didn’t score any points with the public. Above all, it does not help the image of tennis ” Rosset added. (The quotes have been translated.)
17-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic apologized for his mistake. But in the coming months, the Serbian will face a difficult time in answering questions posed by the outside world.
