Tennis: “Nobody likes Djokovic”, she explains why
Published on August 24, 2023 at 2:35 p.m.
With 23 Grand Slam titles, Novak Djokovic is the player who holds the most in the history of tennis. The Serb is ahead of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, respectively at 22 and 20. However, the current world number 2 has not won hearts like his two rivals. According to Marion Bartoli, Novak Djokovic suffered from the presence of two monsters like the Spaniard and the Swiss.
Novak Djokovic has been at the top of world tennis for many years now. The Serb shared his dominance with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, two of the greatest players in history. The Spaniard and the Swiss have an almost exclusive place in the hearts of many tennis fans. Which is not really the case Djokovic…
“In fact, if Novak had only had one other big competitor, he would have had a much bigger fan base”
The prize list is not everything for an athlete. For the former player, Marion Bartoliit is above all the timing of the career of Novak Djokovic who served him to become more popular. “It’s more the timing than anything else. If you talk to all the players and fans around the world, people love Novak’s personality and have a lot of respect for his game. For Federer we talk about elegance, Nadal was considered a fighter who won 14 times at Roland Garros. But nobody likes the third: Djokovic. In fact, if Novak had only had one other big competitor, he would have had a much larger fan base. I think he’s earned everyone’s respect, but when it comes to love, it’s a little different. It’s just human nature to encourage one or the other and you don’t want the third,” said the Frenchwoman in comments relayed by WeLoveTennis.
Djokovic aims for a 24th Grand Slam at the US Open
After winning the last Roland-Garros, Novak Djokovic exceeded Rafael Nadal to the number of Grand Slam tournaments. The last Major of the year, theUS Open, fast approaching. It kicks off on August 28. Already a three-time winner of the American tournament, Novak Djokovic has the opportunity to win a 24th Grand Slam title. Title holder at New-York, Carlos Alcaraz seems to be the most armed to prevent the current world number 2 from winning another fortnight.
