Boris Becker, racket legend as champion of six ‘Grand Slam’ tournaments, reviews tennis news in a Eurosport Germany podcast.
Becker, who was one of Novak Djokovic’s coaches between 2013 and 2016, is upset by the difference in treatment that the Serbian receives with respect to Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, the other two members of the ‘Big Three’ of the racket and with whom he ties at 20 ‘majors’.
“Both the fans and the media have to understand that there are not two but three greats both as tennis players and as individuals. It is not acceptable and it is unfair that Djokovic is always the bad guy and Roger and Rafa are always the good guys.“says the German, who, in addition to being a television commentator, works for the German Tennis Federation.
“Novak is a great person and a competitor who sometimes loses control on the track. Who has not happened to? I hope that what was seen in the final in New York and his subsequent speech will make him look different in the future, “Boris continued. “Djokovic is not worth being one of the best, he wants to be the best and that’s why his disappointment when he lost the US Open final.”
On Daniil Medvedev’s victory at the US Open and the possible relief at the top of the men’s circuit, Becker is clear that “we have talked about Nadal, Federer and Djokovic for the last 15 years because he has won everything. touch talk about the new generation “.
