One word proves that Novak Djokovic doesn’t understand

Despite his ardent streak of victories in 2020, a number of mistakes did Novak Djokovic’s reputation a disservice.

He hosted the Adria Tour at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, ignored all social distancing precautions and only canceled the exhibition event if multiple players – including himself – tested positive for coronavirus.

The world’s number one expressed skepticism about vaccinations, increased the ability to use the power of the spirit to make polluted water drinkable, and was disqualified from the US Open on Monday for hitting a line woman in the neck with a ball.

Much of the controversy that has courted Djokovic has subsequently resulted in a similar topic.

After the Adriatic tour was finally canceled, the Serb offered his version of an apology, but still pleaded his innocence by stating that he had never intended to harm anyone.

“I am very sorry that our tournament caused damage,” he said. “Everything the organizers and I have done over the past month have been done with a pure heart and righteous intent.

“We were convinced that the tournament met all health protocols and that our region’s health appeared to be in good shape for philanthropic reasons, to unite people for good.

“We were wrong and it was too early.”

Unfortunately, the virus does not avoid people just because they have “pure hearts and righteous intentions.”

Last month, Djokovic opened Christopher Clarey from the New York Times in an expansive piece that was supposed to purify the air before launching his US Open campaign and the hunt for an 18th Grand Slam title.

He could have apologized profusely for the Adria Tour, but the 33-year-old again refused to fall on his sword.

Why should Djokovic be blamed when his “intentions” were good?

“We tried to do something with the right intentions,” said Djokovic. “Yes, there were some steps that could of course have been done differently, but will I then be forever accused of making a mistake?

“Whether it’s fair or not you tell me, but I know the intentions were right and right and if I had the chance to do the Adria Tour again I would do it again.”

Hit two.

Djokovic seemed to be doing a little better after hitting the linesman in the throat. Despite running away from Flushing Meadows without committing to his mistake in front of the press, a few hours later he posted a statement on Instagram that seemed genuine as he apologized for his brain rush.

However, we were in a similar location with one more indication that the incident was “so unintentional”.

Therefore, Djokovic quarreled with officials who wanted to exclude him from the tournament. He didn’t want to bring the linesman down – it was an accident – so why should he be punished?

What Djokovic failed to grasp with all the criticism this year is “intentions” that don’t matter much when the consequences of your actions are so hurtful – a point that tennis broadcaster Catherine Whitaker emphasized.

“I can’t help but hear Djokovic’s words in the pre-tournament interview that Christopher Clarey had with him a few weeks ago,” she said The tennis podcast.

“That was probably set up by Djokovic’s people or the ATP as Djokovic’s Mea Culpa over the Adria Tour … and he made his version of holding up his hands and trying to get her to bed.

“Actually, he was proving defensive and focused on the fact that he had good intentions.

“The fact that he had no bad intentions meant well.

“I don’t know if it is ironic or fitting that his US Open bubble journey ended with an incident defined by the fact that his intentions are irrelevant, irrelevant.”

BBC tennis commentator David Law agreed, adding, “It’s another of a number of things that he’s not been fully responsible for.”

Djokovic said on Monday that he had a lot to learn. He may want to begin by saying that noble “intentions” do not rid him of his faults.
