Nole's mental strength and the frequency of how he pulls off the impossible time and time again is the matter of LEGENDS. he is making a joke of legendary word. Quite literally. Amazes me 🤷♂️
Djokovic "Hey guys this is a great party. How many beers have you guys had so far?" Roger "Dude I already drank 16." Rafa "I have had 8 so far. I like the French beer the best. What about you Novak?" Novak "Only 1 Australian beer so far." Roger "Dude you're never going to catch up to us." Novak "Oh yeah. Watch me." Roger passed out after 20 beers. Rafa had to stop at 22 because of hip problems. Novak is on 23 and still going strong. We'll see if Rafa can drink a few more of those French beers after his hips heal.
You should rememberf that Novak is from Serbia. He belongs to country which endured so many troubles in last 40 years- civil war american bombing sanctions and many more bad things . As serbian woman who is litlle older and endured all this I complettely undestand his mental strenght. What does not kill me makes me stronger said Fririch Nietche During that years Serbs learned to be mentaly strong .Novak is best among us.
Djokovic's mental strength is irreplicable because it stems from overcoming war, hardship, xenophobic hatred, media slander etc. As the saying goes "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" & he is the living embodiment of that. A warrior spirit. He's better than ever now cause he had to fight for his place every step of the way.
you forgot to mention ashtma, he had asthma and that's why even today he struggles when there are very hot and humid conditions or indoors tournaments, perfect example is last year when he played Medvedev I think in some indoor tournament..forgot which one it was, at some point his hands were shaking terribly, anyways he improved his condition alot with completely changing his diet and complete life style overall, also this is one of his biggest reasons why he never got vaccinated against covid, there was a big number of vaccine complications with asthma folks, I can personally witness a few guys which I knew personally, one of them almost died (god forbid)
You forgot being incarcerated in a subhuman hotel room for a week without communication or technology and then being humiliated by being deported by a wicked left leaning Australian state government official to 'protect Australians' from Corona. I would never want to set foot in my own country again.
I started following Djokovic from Wimbledon 2011..I still remember watching the final at my neighbour's house.. We didn't have a television back then.. I saw that the entire stadium was rooting for Nadal and I always had a thing for the underdogs.. And since then I've been supporting Djokovic.. It was only when I grew up and got access to the internet that I realised that Djokovic has become the best player of this generation
Has the complete game. Physical fitness is amazing. But his mental fortitude is astounding. Any other olayer be it in tennis or any other sport would've crumbled if they had to face such constant negativity from the crowd and media. Federer or Nadal wouldnt have won even half of their tally of tournaments if they faced what Novak did. And more than him winning 23 GS and other tournaments, its his clear stance on not taking the jab even if it costs him his legacy is what sets him apart. A great man.
I first watched Novak win the 2008 Australian Open and was blown away and thought ‘that kid will go far’. I have followed him closely ever since ! What a disciplined human being in every facet of his life. Congrats gents for this wonderful expose of this Champion. Go Novak ❤
I ve been in Umag in 2005 and i ve seen him live on clay court, his shotmaking was soo strong and precise from left to right corner and then a big rain came and we all run out of the stadium in 1 minute. That year all serbian players were on training together Tipsarević, Troicki, Novak etc,..we were some ten meters away from them. So I actually watch Novak from his very beginnings of his career. I knew he is gonna be great champion and he is the best ever now.
Djokovic's background also informs his sense of perspective. When he was learning, his coach took him to practice in whichever drained pool was closest to the most recent NATO bombing site on the theory that they wouldn't bomb the same site twice in a row. That training would be interrupted by fleeing to bunkers when air raid sirens sounded. If something like that doesn't break you, it makes you stronger.
He is a role model and should be.. dedication he has for his life and his profession is undeniable.. even his critics would agree that his dedication towards tennis is at a different level..

Someterse a la chusma por hacernos los simpáticos es como renunciar a nuestra primogenitura por un plato de lentejas.

Thanks for this clip and for your trhuth words .nole is the best . This is the true . But nole is a men with value and principii . This is very important
Mental attitude and basic approach to the idea of any kind of competition. The competition starts when the idea of comparing one's own qualities with the quality and abilities of other competitors arises. A healthy start is a huge respect for the effort and self-discipline of those who have reached the highest peaks that we ourselves want to conquer. An opponent who is an obstacle on the way to success is not and cannot be an object of hatred and disparagement. Getting the chance to confront such a person is in itself a confrontation with the truth about the image you have of yourself. People in Serbia love Novak, but they also love Rafa and Federer. These three guys created a whole new sport. although the public is not yet aware of it. This new sport is called super tennis and should be categorized in the group of extreme sports. These three guys are the first three black belt holders in the history of the new martial art called extreme tennis,
He faced death as a kid, the NATO bombardment and what not, don't think it's something most anybody could replicate. Doesn't mean everybody who went through the same would go on become a Djokovic, but I suspect this somehow hardened him in some way and he became this mental monster.
Yeah definitely! He even mentions his trauma in the interviews. Being open like this and acknowledging his pain is what frees us from the negativity of it. He's a great role model for how we can work through these things.
Novak's formula is: a fair ratio of the innate both mental and physical strength, as well as the infinite flow of the Higher Power he is perpetually fueled with.
Just would like to comment on the very end of both of your thoughts/comments on Djokovic. I have to say that I liked Mike's comment on Djokovic about the humility and the honesty... that's who he is. He is very compassionate and cares for younger tennis players. He is selfless and would help for others. He is perfectionist, that's why he is hard on himself and to people around him. The media created so much negativeness on him. I felt like Dave was talking a bit of those "media story".
Djokovic is praiseworthy in the sense for his determination and subsequent achievements, he qives example of fighting our goal and destiny(I am Er.C.L.Thangliana of Mizoram, aindia)
Going to your last point where you say "tennis is it" for Novak....I think you guys don't realize how incredibly smart and multi-talented Novak is. He seems to have a pretty broad range of interests.....very unlike most other players and normal people. More importantly during the COVID hysteria, he chose to not get vaccinated.....not because he's against them, but because he got covid early on and got over it. Later he realized the hysteria and chose not to join the herd and getting jabbed like sheep. He was willing to lose his path to "greatest ever" for what he strongly believed in. He was denied entry into multiple events, including one Australian and US open. Eventually he was probably proved correct, and ended up with the lead in major titles anyway. He can easily get into some big risk entrepreneurship and/or politics. I can't say that about Roger or Rafa, who are probably happy with the retired life.
@asava17 Nothing of what you said is true. What Covid status din he lie about? It was precisely Tennis Australia who guided him through the exemption process and in the end assured him he had everything needed to enter the country. He obided by the same rules of the country that at least two other unvaccinated people who were allowed to enter Australia earlier have. It’s mid 2023 and people still say untrue things about what happened.
@@asava17 Just a friendly advise... You should obtain facts, the correct information about the AO 2022 issue/scandal, especially before criticizing Novak, or even worse, calling him a liar. Even the "elite" tennis analysts/experts (who are not, most of the time, Novak's sympathizers) commented that he was used as a "political pawn"...and don't be confused who is the GOAT...just read the stats as Andy Roddick so eloquently said.
@asava17 Then please explain how 2 weeks prior other unvaccinated people who had the same exemption based on previous infenction entered the country? As they said their paperwork was checked at the border and they were allowed in eventually also being deported when they realized they wanted to get rid of Novak. So which are the rules?
May I suggest... Instead of visualising bad-case scenarios at those decisive moments, why not only do them when they need to be dealt with, but otherwise not think of them. I think Novak doesn't. Doubt exists only in the absence of love. It's in an opposite phase to it. So glad I clicked to watch. Thank you for your work. It helped me tremendously.
Hey, thanks for watching! And for sharing your thoughts. It’s a good point. I think I am biased to the value of imagining the bad outcomes because we learn that they’re not so bad, and that we can handle them if they arise. I don’t think it’s possible to be one sided. I think it’s easier to rest in love or the “good” side of things when we fully acknowledge and honour the “bad” or darkness. Then the light shines through and we can “shine”. Thanks for your encouraging words 🙏
I appreciate that a component of his mental strength comes from his holistic approach 2 life, includes his Religion (Orthodox Christianity/Spirituality), radical change to a Gluten-free Vegan diet since 2011, Yoga/Pilates, Meditation, Visualisation & Emotional literacy. He's like a modern-day Shaolin monk on court! Fascinating man. Must read his Autobiography.
Meditation and stretching (yoga) is what makes him different to other great players. Even His wife complained that she can't move around the house freely as he is most of the time on the floor
I’ve always asked, are we putting the cart before the horse in cases like this? I tend to think it’s the skill level acquired through purposeful practice that lends itself to ‘mental strength’. Of course, they may not be mutually exclusive, as the amount of time on the practice court knowing what to practice to improve each aspect of your effective game likely also takes the ability to commit massive amounts of focused time.
Hey, yeah I don’t think it’s one or the other, as you say not mutually exclusive. What I think we want to discern is the difference between the mental strength to train, compete and work hard Vs the mind skills Novak talks about in terms of his mindfulness skills, his ability to accept his negative thoughts and emotions and let them go. Novak makes it clear he didn’t really understand this before and once he did, his career started to really take off. I think that makes sense in reference to your thoughts?
@@StartsWithMeChannel Yes, but I do think he’s on a different plane regarding all this too. For example, think back to the Alcaraz match, his ability to play through the fray with little physical tension, whereas Charlie could not. I think that’s ultimately why his body failed, the intense physical effort all accomplished by a mind that did not allow him to play without tension.
Novak is actually very a sensitive and vulnerable guy, but he's always had to overcome some sort of adversity. He becomes stubborn and does well to spite his opponents and haters.
Novak was also very lucky to grow up with coach Jelena Gencic, very educated women who was working as journalist on Radio Television of Serbia and was also Novak’s coach. That women coached kids and her kids ended up with winning maybe most Slams in history of all kids coaches (Novak’s 23, Monika Seleš 9, Iva Majoli 1, Goran Ivanišević 1). Incredible women who thought him many things such as visualization, confidence, belief, positive thinking, necessity for being in the nature, importance of sleep, reading books and generally need for constant work on himself. She taught him from young age that sport and tennis is not just hitting a ball, it is much more than that. It is physical but also psychological in the same time. She went even so far that they would talk how he would react, greet and talk to Queen Elisabeth, because he would for sure play Wimbledon in the future. When young players are brought like that from young age (she had a degree in psychology), they understand from early age what it takes to be champion. She was also telling him every day that he will be one.
Hey both can be useful. It’s more of a general thing. You should check out the huberman lab episode if you want to do a deep dive on the science of visualization! ua-cam.com/video/0RYyQRQFgFk/v-deo.html
There's nothing to be decoded...he dedicated his life to tennis since the tender age of 4...and he is still dedicated to it and winning...36 years old and we don't wonder if he's going to win a grandslam,but how many more ...Idemo Nole,at least two more... :)))
Good militaries game their operations to figure out counter moves and weaknesses. Tennis and other sports things going wrong hopefully impact both sides the same.
Novak is the best tennis player in the history of that white sport. While Federer and Nadal are three tennis players that no one will ever surpass.We are lucky enough to watch them and admire their playing skills and great dominance in that spoort when the players are alone on the field.When three tennis players win 64 Grand Slam titles, that's amazing.Novak is the best among them. While I would single out Andy Murray as the fourth
The host asks the following fundamental (yet glaringly rhetorical in my opinion) question: should `ordinary people' look at the `outliers of humanity', like elite athlete Novak Djokovic, for inspiration and `role model behaviour'? The answer is an emphatic YES! Man is something that should be transcended and overcome, so you won't transcend the `average population' by looking, to use maths-stats terminology, at the Mode, the Median or the Mean. We're going to `evolve' and reach beyond Man, by looking at, listening to, learning from and trying to emulate, always respecting our own individual Character and Nature, the Djokovices, the Jordans, the Bryants, the Schwarzeneggers, the Grothendiecks, the Einsteins, the Feynmans, the Platos, the Wittgensteins and the Hitchenses of this World (:please notice the sarcastic and ironic use of plural for those most singular, `anomalous', unorthodox and iconoclastic pioneers...)
Djokovich is a great champion when he is winning, because when he is losing, he may loose his temper with people or himself and do a different show. Although these days looks more calm.
Djokovic is incredibly gracious when he loses a match, even smiling. I've seen this when he was beaten by Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune, 2 very young tennis stars. He knows what it means to these very young players to beat someone like him and makes an effort to give them kind words at the end of the match. I love that about him.
@@StartsWithMeChannel you guys are not honest. But it's ok to watch because you are only scratching the surface.. Have a look at Novak's reaction after losing matches, then compare it with Ben Shelton's loss at usopen #24... ua-cam.com/video/WtqKr5K-H9Y/v-deo.htmlsi=jRvG6eZRXtkEFrRj
Velike nepravde su mu nanete. Možda jedna od najvećih ona kada su mu zabranili da igra na AO i time dali Nadalu šansu da ostvari rekord. Učestvovanje na turniru gde je zabranjen dolazak najboljem u tom sportu je nešto što pravi sportista sebi ne bi dozvolio. Verujem da bi se Novak borio za svog kolegu, rivala da je situacija bila obrnuta. Nadal je iskoristio priliku i sramotno došao do pehara. Boga ima pa će mu to biti poslednji GS pehar a Novak će osvojiti još koji, iako mu nisu dozvolili učešće ni u Americi... a vreme mu ide i oni to znaju i zato to rade. Neverovatno je koliko mu podmeću noge. Bez obzira, Novak je najveći i dugo će tako ostati. Pravda je jedini moguć ishod na dugi rok, Novak to zna i , između ostalog i zato je jak. Idemo dalje ❤
@@StartsWithMeChannel nobody is perfect indeed but the behaviour he showed on the court over the years does not belong on a tenniscourt or any other sporting event period.
@@Audimann Agreed, and at the same time, we have to practice forgiveness, change, and make amends for bad behaviour. I'm generally curious, do you think he does a good job of making amends or apologizing? I also wonder if he's changed over the years as a result of his mindset change. What do you think?
@@StartsWithMeChannel At the beginning of his career it was far more worse so he learned I guess. But what I say also goes for somebody as Murray. His attitude like yelling to the audience and other stuff. I just do not understand that they can get away with it so easily. These men are doing this during their job but when I smash my laptop computer at work I am fired instantly.
@Audimann yeah, that makes sense. You’re right there’s definitely different standards for different people and places. I guess that’s part of the acceptance and surrender to our situation. This ties into what Novak says with responsibility and that the answers lie within. No doubt famous people get away with many things common folk don’t, and at the same time they have to live up to impossible standards. Thanks for your insight and comments!
what is difficult for you to understand that Djoker went and received the blessing of the dying Serbian patriarch and his career went to heaven at that moment, you have everything on UA-cam, mother knows what she is talking about and Djoker has a strong relationship with the Creator who elevates him and anyone can do that, but ego, selfishness and self-love are too strong it seems!!!! it is such a typical Biblical event that is being confirmed before your eyes and you are talking about some shallow human theories and psychology!! start dealing with the truth for your own good because there is still a little time left...those things are inevitable unlike your downfall if you come to your senses while there is still time for which I will pray too !! cheers..!!
Yes great tennis player ! Just wondering any thoughts on his ownership of 80% QuantBioRes pharmaceutical company in Denmark , run by another Serbian chappy ? To which has scientists puzzled ?! 🤔 🤷♀️ Also thoughts on his obvious time out during the matches & suddenly strengthens to win ? Could that be a part of his ‘ mental superiority ‘ ? Or what ? 🤔 Apparently these things have not been addressed ?! 🤷♀️ And how relevant are they in the picture ? 🤔 His a great player , but imo to even call him ’ not human ‘ or super human Is a concern & innuendo in itself ? Hats off to him , he is an elite athlete tho ! Just saying Jmo
But i dont agree that Djoker is this mental giant so to speak. Ive been watching him for years. He has lost 50% of his slam finals and wil very often crack under pressure. Look at him against Alcaraz. Was missing lots of the important points and going down fast if it wasnt for Alcaraz seizing up. This is why he is so defensively minded, because he is often scared to go for the shots needed which takes self beleif. I think he stil has lots of potential to grow in this area. Hes odv good and my fav player but very seldom do you see him playing positve tennis. If anything he relies on conditioning and defensive play.
Novak is NOT a hero. A hero is someone who risks his life in order to save someone else’s say a policeman, a firefighter, etc… he is the best athlete in tennis ever.
Do you have athletic role models? What do you think about Djokovics' mental superiority?
He is my role model no doubt.
@@jus_danny same for me :)

Djokovic's mental superiority is from another dimension. The man is a genius!
He has all the major records. He came late to the party but conquered the tennis world
Yeah it’s legendary stuff he’s a champ!

It is a lot about right diet, meditation, warming and cooling down and a loooooooot of practice to perfection.

I think it’s easier to rest in love or the “good” side of things when we fully acknowledge and honour the “bad” or darkness. Then the light shines through and we can “shine”. Thanks for your encouraging words 🙏
GOAT
We visualise the outcome of wha you want to achieve and thats what he does.
Thanks for this video
Thanks for watching and for the encouragement!
Great video ... I am searching a lot of things about Djok mentality 😏 and you pointed out some Great things .. thanks
Thanks for the note! Glad you found it helpful👍
I appreciate that a component of his mental strength comes from his holistic approach 2 life, includes his Religion (Orthodox Christianity/Spirituality), radical change to a Gluten-free Vegan diet since 2011, Yoga/Pilates, Meditation, Visualisation & Emotional literacy. He's like a modern-day Shaolin monk on court! Fascinating man. Must read his Autobiography.
Modern day Shaolin! Great reference. I think he needs to wait a few more years before he writes a longer book. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
Messi,and,djokovic,same,level,2,goats
Goat life
Novak the GOAT ❤
Meditation and stretching (yoga) is what makes him different to other great players. Even His wife complained that she can't move around the house freely as he is most of the time on the floor
Simpaticna izjava Jelenina, kako je Novak moli da igraju skupa balet🤣🤣❤️
Gtèatest evèr!!!
amazing video! mental strenght so so important for sport
Thanks for taking the time to watch and for the encouraging words!
I’ve always asked, are we putting the cart before the horse in cases like this? I tend to think it’s the skill level acquired through purposeful practice that lends itself to ‘mental strength’. Of course, they may not be mutually exclusive, as the amount of time on the practice court knowing what to practice to improve each aspect of your effective game likely also takes the ability to commit massive amounts of focused time.
Hey, yeah I don’t think it’s one or the other, as you say not mutually exclusive. What I think we want to discern is the difference between the mental strength to train, compete and work hard Vs the mind skills Novak talks about in terms of his mindfulness skills, his ability to accept his negative thoughts and emotions and let them go. Novak makes it clear he didn’t really understand this before and once he did, his career started to really take off.
I think that makes sense in reference to your thoughts?
@@StartsWithMeChannel Yes, but I do think he’s on a different plane regarding all this too. For example, think back to the Alcaraz match, his ability to play through the fray with little physical tension, whereas Charlie could not. I think that’s ultimately why his body failed, the intense physical effort all accomplished by a mind that did not allow him to play without tension.
👍👍
Excellent excellent episode
Thank you for watching and for the kind words 🙏
Novak is actually very a sensitive and vulnerable guy, but he's always had to overcome some sort of adversity. He becomes stubborn and does well to spite his opponents and haters.
Novak was also very lucky to grow up with coach Jelena Gencic, very educated women who was working as journalist on Radio Television of Serbia and was also Novak’s coach. That women coached kids and her kids ended up with winning maybe most Slams in history of all kids coaches (Novak’s 23, Monika Seleš 9, Iva Majoli 1, Goran Ivanišević 1). Incredible women who thought him many things such as visualization, confidence, belief, positive thinking, necessity for being in the nature, importance of sleep, reading books and generally need for constant work on himself. She taught him from young age that sport and tennis is not just hitting a ball, it is much more than that. It is physical but also psychological in the same time. She went even so far that they would talk how he would react, greet and talk to Queen Elisabeth, because he would for sure play Wimbledon in the future. When young players are brought like that from young age (she had a degree in psychology), they understand from early age what it takes to be champion. She was also telling him every day that he will be one.
Thanks for your insight and for sharing all that info!
What is the right way to visualise before a tennis match? Or just in general
Hey both can be useful. It’s more of a general thing. You should check out the huberman lab episode if you want to do a deep dive on the science of visualization! ua-cam.com/video/0RYyQRQFgFk/v-deo.html
@@StartsWithMeChannel thank you! I will definitely watch that clip and get back here if i have any queries
There's nothing to be decoded...he dedicated his life to tennis since the tender age of 4...and he is still dedicated to it and winning...36 years old and we don't wonder if he's going to win a grandslam,but how many more ...Idemo Nole,at least two more... :)))
From 9:51 to 10:02 is the biggest truth
5:43 That pretty much sums it up.
Decoding the mental mastery from a really good chair
to the tennis player, (sitting left)
what's your favorite serve when you're up 40-15 in a set where you're still on serve .
Thank you for the question, I sent it to Dave, he's going to think about it and let us know!
Good militaries game their operations to figure out counter moves and weaknesses. Tennis and other sports things going wrong hopefully impact both sides the same.
do not forget....he is ☦ deeply religious christian
Djokovic is Serbian Warrior. Serbian Gods are helping him to win.
Novak is the best tennis player in the history of that white sport. While Federer and Nadal are three tennis players that no one will ever surpass.We are lucky enough to watch them and admire their playing skills and great dominance in that spoort when the players are alone on the field.When three tennis players win 64 Grand Slam titles, that's amazing.Novak is the best among them. While I would single out Andy Murray as the fourth
He missed number 1 ranking weeks in covid 2020 and 2022 absence and no Wimbledon points....he probably would've been 500 weeks world n1
i think his superiority comes also from long time of life coaching with healing of traumas and stuff
That’s definitely a part of it!
Novak, Karelin, Ali....
There is nothing super-human in choosing what is best for your body, neither sticking to the own principles. usopen #24 and counting.
Thank you for your insight
Hard on His team was a laugh , he’s demanding but not how you assume , on those negative things you imagine 🙄
The host asks the following fundamental (yet glaringly rhetorical in my opinion) question: should `ordinary people' look at the `outliers of humanity', like elite athlete Novak Djokovic, for inspiration and `role model behaviour'? The answer is an emphatic YES! Man is something that should be transcended and overcome, so you won't transcend the `average population' by looking, to use maths-stats terminology, at the Mode, the Median or the Mean. We're going to `evolve' and reach beyond Man, by looking at, listening to, learning from and trying to emulate, always respecting our own individual Character and Nature, the Djokovices, the Jordans, the Bryants, the Schwarzeneggers, the Grothendiecks, the Einsteins, the Feynmans, the Platos, the Wittgensteins and the Hitchenses of this World (:please notice the sarcastic and ironic use of plural for those most singular, `anomalous', unorthodox and iconoclastic pioneers...)
Djokovich is a great champion when he is winning, because when he is losing, he may loose his temper with people or himself and do a different show. Although these days looks more calm.
Yeah, I wonder how much his change in attitude is a result of what he mentions in the video. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Djokovic is incredibly gracious when he loses a match, even smiling. I've seen this when he was beaten by Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune, 2 very young tennis stars. He knows what it means to these very young players to beat someone like him and makes an effort to give them kind words at the end of the match. I love that about him.
@@StartsWithMeChannel you guys are not honest. But it's ok to watch because you are only scratching the surface.. Have a look at Novak's reaction after losing matches, then compare it with Ben Shelton's loss at usopen #24... ua-cam.com/video/WtqKr5K-H9Y/v-deo.htmlsi=jRvG6eZRXtkEFrRj
Drive and motivation is somehow titled "drug addiction" who the F... do these titles!?
To ide automatski. Robot takoreći. Ne čuje sve dobro. Uvek je tako
Velike nepravde su mu nanete. Možda jedna od najvećih ona kada su mu zabranili da igra na AO i time dali Nadalu šansu da ostvari rekord. Učestvovanje na turniru gde je zabranjen dolazak najboljem u tom sportu je nešto što pravi sportista sebi ne bi dozvolio. Verujem da bi se Novak borio za svog kolegu, rivala da je situacija bila obrnuta. Nadal je iskoristio priliku i sramotno došao do pehara. Boga ima pa će mu to biti poslednji GS pehar a Novak će osvojiti još koji, iako mu nisu dozvolili učešće ni u Americi... a vreme mu ide i oni to znaju i zato to rade. Neverovatno je koliko mu podmeću noge. Bez obzira, Novak je najveći i dugo će tako ostati. Pravda je jedini moguć ishod na dugi rok, Novak to zna i , između ostalog i zato je jak. Idemo dalje ❤
Then what,what then what?He'll always be in tennis,this way or the other.There is your answer.
And he also has the record of smashing up his racket in the most insane manner into the ground. Never seen Nadal do this.
Yeah he does, which is why it's such a good reminder that no one is perfect and that everyone is human being
@@StartsWithMeChannel nobody is perfect indeed but the behaviour he showed on the court over the years does not belong on a tenniscourt or any other sporting event period.
@@Audimann Agreed, and at the same time, we have to practice forgiveness, change, and make amends for bad behaviour. I'm generally curious, do you think he does a good job of making amends or apologizing? I also wonder if he's changed over the years as a result of his mindset change. What do you think?
@@StartsWithMeChannel At the beginning of his career it was far more worse so he learned I guess. But what I say also goes for somebody as Murray. His attitude like yelling to the audience and other stuff. I just do not understand that they can get away with it so easily. These men are doing this during their job but when I smash my laptop computer at work I am fired instantly.
@Audimann yeah, that makes sense. You’re right there’s definitely different standards for different people and places. I guess that’s part of the acceptance and surrender to our situation. This ties into what Novak says with responsibility and that the answers lie within. No doubt famous people get away with many things common folk don’t, and at the same time they have to live up to impossible standards. Thanks for your insight and comments!
what is difficult for you to understand that Djoker went and received the blessing of the dying Serbian patriarch and his career went to heaven at that moment, you have everything on UA-cam, mother knows what she is talking about and Djoker has a strong relationship with the Creator who elevates him and anyone can do that, but ego, selfishness and self-love are too strong it seems!!!! it is such a typical Biblical event that is being confirmed before your eyes and you are talking about some shallow human theories and psychology!! start dealing with the truth for your own good because there is still a little time left...those things are inevitable unlike your downfall if you come to your senses while there is still time for which I will pray too !! cheers..!!
If you don’t know how to pronounce his name why you even start talking about him.
DAVE YOU LOOK SCARRRRY BRO
Yes great tennis player !
Just wondering any thoughts on his ownership of 80% QuantBioRes pharmaceutical company in Denmark , run by another Serbian chappy ?
To which has scientists puzzled ?! 🤔 🤷♀️
Also thoughts on his obvious time out during the matches & suddenly strengthens to win ?
Could that be a part of his
‘ mental superiority ‘ ?
Or what ? 🤔
Apparently these things have not been addressed ?! 🤷♀️
And how relevant are they in the picture ? 🤔
His a great player , but imo to even call him
’ not human ‘ or super human
Is a concern & innuendo in itself ?
Hats off to him , he is an elite athlete tho !
Just saying
Jmo
😂😂😂 keep fantasizing with your conspiracy theories fed to you by media
But i dont agree that Djoker is this mental giant so to speak. Ive been watching him for years. He has lost 50% of his slam finals and wil very often crack under pressure. Look at him against Alcaraz. Was missing lots of the important points and going down fast if it wasnt for Alcaraz seizing up. This is why he is so defensively minded, because he is often scared to go for the shots needed which takes self beleif. I think he stil has lots of potential to grow in this area. Hes odv good and my fav player but very seldom do you see him playing positve tennis. If anything he relies on conditioning and defensive play.
check the stats for majors' finals, you are dead wrong.....typical of jealous fedals
Novak is NOT a hero. A hero is someone who risks his life in order to save someone else’s say a policeman, a firefighter, etc… he is the best athlete in tennis ever.
When the open era starts soo 1963
Rod Laver will win 50 grand slams.....
GOAT Nolee 🐐💙
He will probably do foundation and UN or Serbia tennis work
