Nadal saying I like challenges but I'm not stupid is comedy gold.
☀☀☀☀☀Big time gold that one!
He is the epitomy of why mental strength is so important No one managed to break his spirit Not only admiration but above all respect for this phenomenal human being.
especially in the early days when he quit a lot
He also is far smarter than the rest.
Finishing top five this season after being denied 10000 points go to be in the record books. No player in the tennis circuit can remotely come close to achieving that . Djokovic is the goat ,he holds way too much records .
I'm just hoping Novak doesn't get 7th US Open Finals loss next year...already has record at 6 losses
@Rafa undisputed Goat are you a robot? I swear i saw this comment on every single yt video ahahahahahhaha
@@markreadin7124 There should be "no doubts over the ethics" of Rafael Nadal after the all-time great was defended over his injections at the 2022 French Open. Despite being plagued by an injury which left him with little feeling in his left foot, Nadal defied the odds to win at Roland Garros for the 14th time, beating Casper Ruud in straight sets in the final. The 36-year-old was open about the treatment he received during the event, and after his victory admitted to reporters: “It’s obvious that with circumstances that I am playing (with), I can’t and I don’t want to keep going, so the mindset is very clear. I was able to play during these two weeks with extreme conditions. I have been playing with an injections on the nerves." - Quote from Nadal himself RafaLANCE ARMSTRONGdal is a liar and a bonafide cheater 💉💊💊💊
@@petaruzelac2004 Nadaltards like him are called Nadaltards for a reason 😂
@@markreadin7124 so what? He has 9 US Open finals. Would it be better success if he dropped out earlier in the tournament?
If he was from any Western country we would have never even have the debate. Picture him playing for GB or USA and how much of global media support he would have had in that case... Not just the tennis goat but possibly the greatest sports person in history. To do all that he has done in an individual sport where there are no teammates to help you, protect you and cover some flaws. One and only!
What you just said was AbSerb. Nationalities don't matter in Tennis. For example, the Muppet who was chanting Hitlers Tune during Zverevs game.... Only in the US open... At least he wasn't stabbed like Monika.
Yes! Add to that his willingness to stand up for his rights, take the insane consequences from medical authorities, and been proved right, puts him up there with Muhammad Ali.
I keep hearing this argument and I have seen no evidence of it whatsoever. Performance doesn't deceive; nothing else matters in tennis but results.
@@reshpeck You weren’t paying attention. For years, Western media fawned shamelessly over Federer and Nadal while downplaying Novak, even when his record outshone them. Now the man’s achievements make this impossible without discrediting themselves. Add to that Novak’s principled stand against the since disproved vaccine mandates, for which he was vilified, and the man stands head and shoulders above the rest, up there with Muhammad Ali.
So true!
The politics of the western world is hell-bent on killing Djokovic's career.
Exactly right, spot on.
No idea what this is supposed to mean but ok…
Just because he's from some shithole Eastern European nation and is an anti-vaxxer.
@@ameswallace8164 Then why comment. Like what are you achieving by adding more useless and pointless data on the internet? Just STFU.
@@ameswallace8164 We did not expect much from a westerner living in it's own buble, therefore it's ok if you don't understand.
Novak in best of three set matches is amazing, but Novak in 5 set matches looks to be almost unstoppable if he's in top form. I've never seen so much resilience, consistency and drive in a Tennis player. It has truly been an honor to watch the three Titans of tennis compete.
In the five set matches he looks like he paces himself so well. Like he knows exactly how much rope he has and will just turn it up a notch when he needs to. Even when another player goes up 2 sets to love on him it feels like Novak still has at least a 50 percent chance of winning the match.
@@crawjo 0/2 down in a grand slam. More than 50% chance he will win the match actually.. That is crazy to think about. Thats why he probably is the greatest.
He is losing 7-11 h2h vs Rafa in best of 5
Staaaaaaaaannnn.... Checkered-pattern shooooooortts OoOoOOoooOoooo...
@@markreadin7124 Most of those were at Roland Garros, where Nadal is the undisputed master. On other surfaces, Djokovic has a clear edge in five-set matches.
I’m one of those people that love all 3. Big 3!!! Unbelievable era. Nadal is clay king, and adorable creature with goofy ocd moments…. Federer is Picasso. Most talented and most beautiful to watch. Tennis looks like poetry with him. And then there’s Djokovic. Mentally and physically the best athlete ever. He smashed almost all records out there.. And about to smash them all. To me the greatest tennis player in history.
Great post, very insightful. All points were very good. Federer is kind of a sleeper in this discussion because he is so smooth, he hardly looks like he’s working out there. You forget how good he is since he is so smooth. Djokovic and Nadal are scrappy as heck, they just never give up. Nadal’s problem (if he has one) in this discussion is the imbalance of clay court wins vs other surfaces. In the final analysis, you gotta love all three.
He's also smashed the most rackets so that too is a record lol..😁✌
Well , so far the most important one he don't have , the record of Slams ! Its an open race with him and Rafa !
@@hassehougaard5120 Rafa is history now. I love him but he was never better than Federer. Especially not better than Djokovic.
What you say about Nadal and Novak is factual. I feel there were better ways to describe Federer, because your inference about Picasso is purely subjective. But I truly respect your opinion, although cubism is not my thing. If you like Cubism look up this 10 year old boy: Andres Valencia.
Novak winning 5 Titles this year after a horrendous year in 2022 , to overcome everything and win the ATP title at the end of the year proves this man is the best of all time,,, He is amazing.
@@rafaundisputedgoat4291 jajajja the only way to stop Novak is not to let him play... it's a shame what they did in the Australian and USA open... also, if the pandemic hadn't been there right now Novak had at least 25 GS
He is the Phoenix bird!! The dark horse, the man!
Weak competition, no younger great rival whole career and just ahead on stats. He’s no better than Rafa or Fed at their peaks
@@dygycron Don’t say stupid things. He always has advantages regarding Nadal and if not they make possible. Wimbledon when the close the roof abd next day was sunny and they did not want t open because Djokovich have better service in hard courts iand in grass. How special is Nadal, having less advantage, as is only one GS in clay and three in grass and hard courts. He is in front of Djokovich in GS. I think the three are equal. Different ways of playing. Fester is pure elegance, Nadal is power and mentality. And Dhokovich is power and flexibility.
@@rafaundisputedgoat4291 Ahahahahahahaha
He is the one and only 🐐 in tennis 🎾history. FROM SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
As a diehard Federer fan, it hurts to admit that Novak is the goat! He’s like a machine, and the numbers don’t lie. He’s the greatest! Nadal will forever be the king of clay, but overall Novak is the best that ever was!
I love you for saying that.
I am with you, I have always loved watching him play but djokovic is going to be the all time greatest and the stand he made during the last few years has made him a hero!
True
I fell in love with the person and the athlete since Djoko had won that Masters 1000 at the Rogers Cup in my city of Montreal in 2007. I never was a Federer and Nadal fan though. Although I could admit, through my teeth lol, that they were great.
lol.... you're no Fed fan. Novak is the most successful, not the greatest. A peak Roger would beat a peak Novak any time.
I add: Djokovic is the greatest player in tennis history.
Federer is the best, it’s how a player plays the game, not just how many trophies you win. Roger IS tennis.
@@ilovesuisse1 are you kiddding 😂😂😂🤦
Not adds again :(
Well you could argue Rod Laver has to be in contention. Couldn't play in majors for 5 years came back and won all 4 in one year. Managed to win all 4 majors twice in his career.
@@burningsagemanmusic7491 go ahead, argue. However, what's the point entering an argument you're going to lose. Why one player missed tournament is irrelevant when it comes to legacy. No legacy, no glory. Period. Djoko missed AO because he was literally and physically kicked out of the Melbourne. Should we give him credit/title for a GS he missed? You be the judge.
Some people think that prime fed, is the scariest player ever, but tbh I feel like the players on the tour fear Novak more bc of his mentality and how hard it is to win just one point against him.
Haha. Federer in 2005/6 was very confident and fast and full of self belief. It’s impossible to say who’s best but Novak in 2011 was pretty special to watch. Ironically he lost to Roger in the french Open which I didn’t expect. They are so close and they’ve both thrashed each other. Very fine margins. I think Roger liked his fast indoor hard courts best. And he was good on grass in his prime but Novak is arguably the best grass player now. People will always argue who is best.
Prime Fed wins by finishing points quickly, Novak grinds people down in extended rallies.
Hard to win a game against Fed in his prime. His serve game was underated as well. But Novak when at his best like Rafa said is unplayable. Berdych didn't even want to play anymore when Novak was owning him 😂
In my opinion, Novak was the most dominant player in his prime and showed the highest level of tennis. Even Rafa said that after Doha 2016, I quote: "What i saw today, this is the highest possible level of tennis, since i know this sport". Djokovic in 2015 play all 4 GS finals and won 3, won 16,785 ATP points(most in history in a single season), won 6 masters1000s(most in history in a single season) and play 8 of 9 M1000s finals that year. In 2016 he completed all 4 Grand Slam titles, won all 4 in row(nobody except Rod laver did that) and couple more things. So i think prime Novak is better than prime Fed but they would certainly have a tough time in those matches, i think the fed would have a slight edge at wimbledon and couple more tournamenrs like Cincinnati but overall Novak would win more...
Prime fed happened because Novak was born 6 years later than him.
21 Grand Slam titles A record 65 Big titles A record 373 Weeks #1 A record 7x Year-end #1 A record tying 6x ATP Finals titles A record 38 Masters1000 titles A record Double Career Golden Masters A record 80+ wins in all 4 slams A record 16,950 ATP pts in a single season A record holder of 4 straight slams at once in 3 different surfaces A record most top 3 wins A record most top 5 wins A record most top 10 wins Only man to beat Federer at Wimbledon Finals 3x Only man to beat Nadal at RG 2x Positive H2H over Federer Positive H2H over Nadal Anything that he adds to that is just rubbing it in.

Novak can enter state of mind where perfect shots happen by themselves
I think the best comments about Novak have came from Rafa. Nadal said that Djokovic has reached a level he has not seen before.
Politicians tried to stop Djokovic last year not REALIZING that actually gave him chance to SET up NEW records which NO player in the future will BRAKE ! Even stealing thousands of points by English, nor not allowing him to defend points by Australians and Americans ( NOTE : all english speaking countries) Djokovic finished UNBELIEVABLE 5-th in the world!!! THAT shows SUPERIORITY!!! And he is 35 year old !!!
And has a chance to become no. 1 again in a couple of days 🙏🙏🙏
i love roger, i love rafa. but i never seen a player who have been winning in roger young era, then the 2010s, and still dominating in the 2020s with the up and comings. its like, you never put yourself at that status until the day you call quit. roger, rafa and novak will always be the best 3 players in men's tennis until someone can play as consistently for 20years and not about exceeding the number of slams.
@@rafaundisputedgoat4291 Is there a way to block someone from youtube so you never see their comments? I'm going to google it now.
Federer is "classy"? Please. He can't bring himself to accept that Djokovic is better than him, says things "he makes you play badly" which is no excuse for coughing up match point 3 times.
For me, Novak is definitely the GOAT 🐐 in the present time and future. If he had not been banned many times and not been faced with many conspiracies here and there, he would now have more than 25 Slams and a few more than 38 Masters which he now has. Also, he is one of the most humane athletes in history. As for tennis fans, he has a monstrous enemy: the mainstream media which brainwashes them against him, only because he has a RED language and thought, though polite, unlike Federer and Nadal who are more or less Conservative. To me, Novak is politically a revolutionary, like myself. Maybe, he needs more time to be understood by tennis 🎾 fans. He needs intellectual fans! As an old man, I wish he were my own son and I am jealous of his father. It's ridiculous, but true 👍.
Please explain Novak`s intellectual action , when he after loosing a tiebreak called out his brother in front of the whole world , and told him to leave the area ........a 35 old man acting like a child .... there you have some of the reason why he is hard to love ! Its has NOTHING to do with where he come from , but everything to do with his act on the court !
Well said
@@hassehougaard5120 He is a human. All of us have some mistakes in our lives, and he's not an exception in this. Additionally, we get angry, smile, cry, get sad, burst into tears and so on. All these are our natural behaviours. He's the most political athletes in the world, so that John Macenro, the American tennis legend said that Djokovic should be Serbian President after retirement. He always speaks a proper language, like a university professor. He knows many languages.
@@hassehougaard5120 They all have their moments which you can Google. No doubt you won't.
@@dranchd6571 Their moment ? yes of course some of them have ......Nick Kyrgios didn't like when his box sat down or looked sad so he yelled at them , cracy and sad to see ...Holger Rune call his mother out and ask her to leave , but he is 19 years old ! , and now Novak had a kind of mental breakdown , which he apologized later ..... The point here , was why Novak don't get the love some think he should , and this was my answer ! If you can find a link where either Roger Federer or Nadal or Sampras does something similar i would be very surprised ! Its only tennis , but with Novak it looks like war !
For me his the greatest, to hold all slams at once on 3 different surfaces 2015/16 is awesome🤴🏾🤴🏾
@Rafa undisputed Goat Ooops…
@Rafa undisputed Goat Remind me not to take betting tips from you.
@Rafa undisputed Goat. Possibly, but only if Đoković is banned from coming again and only because Đoković does not have his hair cut according to the standards you impose. Shame on you, for all time!!!
Djokovic’s best qualities are definitely his Mental toughness, elasticity and consistency. He doesn’t beat players by making the court feel smaller like Federer or overwhelm his opponents with force like Nadal, but he outwits and outlasts his opponents, mentally and physically. He returns everything and barely misses. It isn’t a pleasing style to many fans, but it is definitely the most efficient.
As a Novak💙 fan,have always respected Rafa🤗& Roger🤗Love & respect for🎾 & for these 3 legends will always be above all the records, titles & ranking positions. Wishing someday you read this fan's reply too. Earlier was connected with some Novak fans on SM but my views are different in some of their views . Also when some of their obsessed fans make fun of legends and also the young upcoming players, I really get sad. I feel that Novak himself appreciates and respects each player and will never say such what some of his fans keep saying. I hope someday Novak realizes this and appreciate his other genuine fans.All three are greatest players of all times. What they have achieved through their consistent hardwork and dedication is incredible and it will always be remembered by all generations who love this wonderful sport.🎾🌹 Honestly , I am subscribing your channel in one hope that dear Novak reads my message. To dear Novak .There are other fans too apart from your favorite regular fans . Do read their replies filled with lots of love and respect for you. I hope you read my message here . Dear Novak🤗💙 you always say 'believe ourselves'. My self belief says, each small and big win when done truly, its happiness reflects in our eyes and smile too.Wishing you are feeling this same contentment in your recent wins in your passion for🎾 🏆 And I like you more when you show soft gestures of encouraging self after any particular win or a particular game. Merry Christmas to you and all. Wishing everyone good happy times ❄️🎄🤗💙🌹

And these are top players acknowledging how good Nole is, I said it once, and I'll say it again, Nole is the G O A T, when he's done playing, he will have all the accolades.. most slams, most masters 1000.

@@sliglusamelius8578 Yep I think Federer has the best game to watch and at his best i know he can beat Djokovic and anyone for that matter.Forget that GOAT stuff it's so subjective when you come down to it.I could say Rod Laver is the GOAT but is he ?
I think the thing about Djokovic is that he's *very good* at everything. Tennis is a numbers game, and he may not have a flashy "kill shot" the way that other players do, but he's just too bulletproof.
If "tennis is a numbers game" the REAL fans are those who fix the matches, i.e. FIX THE NUMBERS. e match. The real tennis fans are those who care how a player achieves the numbers, not the fans whose egos will be bruised if the player they root for does not win, no matter how.
@@777rogerf If there is one sport that doesnt fix matches its Tennis. The only thing they can fix is Doping cover ups for Nadal and thats it.
He got flashy backhand if you actually watch him play. I hate when people say that he dont have flashy weapon.. like wtf you watch ? Even forhand is more than amazing.. but whhen he is feeling it, he will beat the sht out of you with his backhand down thhe line.
@@VladaBB ya ya doping for nadal, man u guys are hilariously funny
Novak's "kill shot" is his service return. It puts opponents under immense pressure after just 3-4 service winners and they tend to fall apart in their mind and there's no recovering after that. No player is mentally tough enough to sustain Novak's consistent error-free shots for long. Haven't we seen even Federer crumble and look "ordinary" when playing Djokovic? I am a Federer fan and no one can match his stylish game; but Djokovic has managed to subdue Federer for almost a decade. Novak is simply the greatest.
It's tremendous how strong and match tough Djokovic has become over the years with time and experience..he worked out health issues he had in the past, takes really good care of himself, he's a tremendous athlete and probably the most solid baseliner, mover ever for his height.
We’ve been so blessed to have Novak and Nadal in the same era, 2 all-time special athletes who squeezed water out of stone in their careers.

Indeed, Nole is from another planet. The best athlete and Tennis God!
hope to also hear Del Potro's thoughts. The two have had great games.
No one can touch Novak. I believe he might be past his physical prime but mentally it keeps him in the game. He's so strong in his belief of his abilities that it makes very very difficult to allow an opponent to gain traction over a 5 set major. He's fitter, stubborn and simply knows how to let his best be on the court. We must remember he's got more experience than most others right now so that's an advantage as long as he's physically able to compete he's dangerous. I hope to see him win the SLAM. It's his main motivation besides the majors right now and his time is limited. I followed tennis years ago, being awed by Agassi & Sampras, but in 2998 after getting home late from work, I turned on ESPN and watched the quarters, semis & final at the Australian against Stonga, and I knee I had a new favorite to follow, and I've seen every major win since!! Goat, absolutely, without a doubt
He can win the slam no doubt. it will depend on Alcaraz, no one other than this young player can beat Nole in GS at the moment
Novak is just a god on the tennis court

Novak is the best at all time.

Novak is the Open Era GOAT. He is the only man to hold all 4 majors at one time since Mr. Rod Laver. He won 27 consecutive major matches in 2021 which is more than Mr. Laver's 25 in 1969.
Don't forget Rod Laver did all 4 majors not just once but 2 times !!! In a year ! GOAT !
This video made me suscribe, there are sensitive material in it ,” I like challenges but I am not stupid “ That was Rafa saying it Bow !
There should be a Part 2. Tsitsipas saying "greatest to hold a racket," and all the others in the past 5 months, especially after #23.

Sincerely have to be crazy to don't consider Djokovic the best of history. Simply he has all the best stats, a part clay winnings.
He gave our Aussie boy a schellacking for some smart arse comments, absolutely ruthless when he’s cranky
An absolut idol who stands up for his beliefs.
People are suddenly forgetting Nadal and Roger's achievements. Hmmmmm. Both are older than him. Djokovic may have won more ATP titles than the other two but let's look at some stats here Nadal turned pro aged 15 now 36 (22 grand slams) Federer turned pro aged 16 now 41 (retired) (20 grand slams) Djokovic turned pro aged 20 now 35 (21 grand slams) So it's a bit too early to start calling him a GOAT
I think playing *Djoko* is like passing "the Bermuda zone" ;For more than a decade ,Novak has become a great challenge & difficult number for any professional gay to face off..What a dangerous man !
Nadals comments are hilarious
@Rafa undisputed Goat Gracias my loyal peasant for always believing in me. Continue spreading my lies, kneel down and kiss my golden feet my loyal poor peasant. My anabolic steroids are the best! GOATdal! Vamos!
One stat that some avoid is the surface one. Calling Nadal Claydal could be fair if you also call Novak or Roger, Novfast or Fasteder referring to a fast court as opposite to the clay. BUT the dominance has been so big for Nadal on clay that one could objectively think that if total number of tournaments and Slams would be equal in terms of surface the most important numbers would be very different (just think if there were 2 RG...). Also there are about 85 fast over 58 clay tournaments.
Rafa fans keep going on about how there are many more hard court tournaments and slams, than there are on clay. How this benefits Novak and Roger. Maybe, but to be the best you have to do it on more than one surface. What they don't mention, is that there are many more clay tournaments than grass ones. Roger and Novak are the two greatest of all time on grass and share 15 Wimbledons. In another era, either one of them would have 15 easily. Grouping hard courts and grass under the fast heading is not fair. Grass is a totally different animal: It's slippy (high injury risk), low bounce, unpredictable bounce off the lines. A player has to have 2 completely different skill-sets to conquer these surfaces. Borg, Matteo Berrettini and Nick Kyrgios prove this point, as their grass court game is way ahead of their hard court game. Novak's clay court career is amazing considering he is in the Nadal era. Novak is the only player who could beat Rafa twice at the French Open. Djokovic has won 18 titles on clay courts, including two French Open titles and 11 Masters titles. He is the only player to defeat Nadal in all three clay court Masters events, which he first achieved in the finals of Madrid and Rome in 2011 and in Monte Carlo in 2013. He has been in 6 French Open finals. In a different era, I believe he would have had at least 4 French Open titles. Most experts on the net only put Nadal and Borg ahead of him on clay. His clay court record is where he moves ahead of Roger, as they are so closely matched on the other 2 surfaces.

@@gelvisblue if you are refering to my comment, where have I said thet Novak's clay career isn't amazing? As amazing as Rafa's hard court. Man, I'm not a Rafa fan, I'm a tennis fan and I just put on the table something that to me has to be considered. About the grass thing, well you may be right, but with only 8 ATP tournaments on grass and with almost 0 courts to practice in most of the countries I think that one GS on grass is even too much. Of course Roger and Novak dominance there is undeniable.
@@radiochoiu Well you sound like a Rafa fan 🤣🤣🤣 You claim to be a tennis fan, but say 1 GS on grass is too much. Wimbledon is the biggest goal for all players to win. It is the most iconic tournament of them all. A real tennis fan wouldn't make that claim, though a salty Rafa fan might. Always excuses for Rafa re not enough clay tournaments. The greatest learn to play on all surfaces. Andy Murray travelled to the States and Spain as a young player to learn how to train and play on different surfaces, as do many players. Rafa had a privileged background and had the same opportunities to travel and to train on different surfaces. Novak is in the top 3 of all time on all 3 surfaces, Nadal is only in the top 3 on Clay.
Novak Djokovic, is the greatest athlete of all time, let alone tennis player. It’s about time the damn western media started putting some respect on this man’s name, and stop always fanboying Fedal.
Agree 👍
sorry what was that? i couldn't understand you with all of Novaks come in your mouth
best athlete, michael jordan, easily, novak isnt even close
Undoubtedly what we all think,A PHENOMENAL athlete ,the likes of which I doubt we will ever see again.totally and utterly UNIQUE
im a massive federer fan and even last year you could argue he was the goat but now novaks the greatest player ever
Now thats fact!
@Rafa undisputed Goat I like your humor🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
What Andy Roddick said about Djokovic years ago would have been taken seriously by the Big Two (Roger and Rafa) as a caution that a beast-like predator had been around the corner. As Roddick emphatically spoke about, he began to beat the strongest rivals Tennis has ever known, like a Drum, to surpass their records and raise the bar higher and higher so that no one can smash those records in the foreseeable future.
I loved irt😮 There are😢😮😢 Very few oportunities to hear hea
Zvrev and Medvedev said the truth loud and clear. Rafa and Roder have to much Ego to say that.
Even young gens lov Novak too
Novak is one level higher than his surely great opponents - in the way how he managed hostilities, natural as so as under-belt attitudes, against him. In this way is Novak not only great player but he is great man. And if I could drink a cup of tee, coffee or a beer with him, informally, for fifteen minutes or half an hour, I am sure this would be one of very pleasant moments, to feel his personality during totally common situation.
and how he broke racquets, or fired balls at linespeople
How true!
Rafa is so honest & truthful in his answer, Bravo r Rafa.
He has had the least of injuries out of the 3
Novak. GOAT!!!!!!!
love the shaming for not subscribing that the beginning lol
No matter if people accept him as GOAT or not, he holds the most records in any sporting history besides Schumi, I think. Most slams, most weeks, highest career prize money, winning all masters multiple times and slams multiple times In open era. The only things he is missing is Olympic Gold and calendar year slam, he can do both next year. I am a diehard Fed fan and he is always my GOAT, but I still want him to do it so people will shut up about this and he can show that it can all be done by one man. I too hope he retires after that so he can have a comfortable and happy life away from the negativity people have against him. I am not a big fan of him but he deserves respect. He won all the matches he was put it to for all the trophies he won (maybe a few retirements). His biggest achievement is from missing slams due to injuries related retirements to then going to win so many with no retirements tells he has the aggression, strength and mental fortitude that’s a top player needs. His achievements are in no way lessened by my or anyone else not calling him a GOAT. He is the toughest and youngest of the generation of GOATS. All 3 are equally good one surpassing the other. It’s a needless argument. IDEMO NOLE!!
Nole is awesome ❤
They think: "god I would like to be that man"
They banned him from playing in many tournaments because he was not vaccinated. They stole thousands of points from him, but still he is the greatest ever.Joker from Serbia!z
Apples and oranges. His skill as a tennis player and his superstitious and paranoid mind are two entirely different things.
@@randolphpinkle4482. You are a poor and programmed robot. First of all, get to know the mentality and naturalness of the nation from which Đoković came, as well as the greatest genius ever born in mankind, Đoković's countryman, Nikola Tesla!!! It will be useful for you, you will live naturally!!!
Todo sabemos que el mejor es Novak ...la prensa lo trata de desprestigiar, pero la gente no es tonta
Indeed
I think I realised he was the best ever when he beat Nadal in the 2011 Wimbledon final..
and i realized nadal was when he beat him at Roland Garros so many times
Nice - then you have Shelton's 2023 US Open interview... ...I was on court playing the World #2, just a typical match! 😐🤔🙂😄😂🤣
Nole goat king off the tennis 👌👌👌
there is no such question, the numbers today say that Djokovic is undoubtedly the GOAT
