It’s ridiculous to paint him as the anti-hero to Fed & Rafa. He’s an extraordinary person. We tennis fans are blessed to have had such people to watch for so long.
Before Novak entered the scene, the bad guy was Nadal. The media was calling him a “brute” and a “Neanderthal.” But then Novak won AO 2008 and all of that talk went away. I guess they would have felt silly trying to create two villains against one perfect guy. But what was sillier was how the sheeple fell for it.
Exactly.. He is the hero.
Who painted him as the anti-hero to Fed & Rafa? Last time I checked, this was an entire 60-minutes segment devoted to the great Novak Djokovic where, amongst many other things, they touch upon the fact that he is not, by his own admission, as popular as Fed & Rafa. But that's the audience's choice and it clearly didn't stop him from becoming the most accomplished tennis player, and arguably athlete, ever. Oh, and it ain't over yet.
@@somebodysomething4242I’d say that talk went away around 2006 when Federer and Nadal were 1 and 2. The ATP hyped up their rivalry so much
He's a much greater hero than either of those two who are simply better for marketing purposes.
This man EARNED respect the hard way and the honest way. Let him be everyone's example.
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Exactly 👍
An example of extreme selfishness
He wasn’t honest about his COVID status during the pandemic.
@@michaelmarzano2759 what is the meaning of your comment exactly ?
The way he can articulate himself in a language that isn’t his first is mesmerising.
He always tries too hard..like he is in some kinda class.
@@user-ji4jy2gp1e Ladies and gentlemen this right here!! Is a prime example of living a life of pure saltiness lol. Living rent free my dude
@@user-ji4jy2gp1etrying shows that he cares, and the fact he cares so much to be a good person makes him a good person. His motivation is pure, he wants to be the best version of himself possible, what's your problem with that?
@@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi his problem with that is that he sees someone who wants to improve himself compared to himself/herself whos just sittiing in their room not improving on any aspect of their life so the only thing to do in their miserable live is to write a hateful comment on youtube
😆@@Siano35
He financed many schools in the region not just Serbia. As a Bosnian, I know for a fact that he did so in Bosnia. Novak is the greatest player of all times but before all, he’s a great human being and that’s worth so much more than any medal. ❤
Bravo❤❤pozdrav komsija
I am a Federer fan but I respect Djokovic and consider him to be the greatest of all time. He is such a great guy and ambassador for the sport.
Thank you .
You're a true tennis fan! I'm a Djokovic (and Murray) fan, but respect and appreciate Federer and Nadal, and their greatness in terms of tennis history. I can't imagine someone who genuinely loves tennis but who hates a great tennis player, it just doesn't make any sense.
I'd like to watch the impossible match - Djokovic (of 2015) vs Rod Laver (of 1969), those two are probably the most enduring greats.
I'm also a Federer fan - I think his tennis style will remain the most natural, beautiful & awe-inspiring to watch. However, I equally love Novak & I want to see him go on to win more & more slams. 👍🏻
I’m a Novak fan but I respect Federer and consider him to be the greatest of all time. Federer is the greatest ambassador of the sport and sportsmanship. Novak has the most slams, but Federer is the only man to transcend the sport like MJ and Tiger Woods did for their sports.
Same for me, but as an unconditional Rafa fan ! Enormous respect for Novak Djokovic. What this guy did for the last 15 years, facing Roger, Rafa and also next gen + next-next gen and still winning almost everything is unreal. Cleary the best one and one of the greatest sportmen ever. I will remember all my life those Rafa-Djoko battles. Thanks to them. They are such exemples in terms of fighthing spirit and so many other values. All my respect. Cheers to all tennis fans, from France.
Greatest athlete of all time!!!
ok relax
@@IoannisHodgesMameletzisNole has a very strong case.
Exactly right. Nole overcame both Federer and Nadal. And everyone else as well.
@@IoannisHodgesMameletzis wym relax? He is top 2
@@BenoSaradzicNot really. He has 2 people who have accomplishments near to his own. Meanwhile, there have been athletes that dominate 2 sports at the same time or had an enormous difference with the rest of the competition. He is the greatest tennis player though.
He is so intelligent and well spoken. He’s honest and humble.
Not really. Ever heard of his racist views against Bosnians and those from Kosovo?
I would never say he is humble
Forget tennis GOAT, he’s already undisputed there. This man is a beacon for democracy, free speech and human rights. He put his entire career on the line and stood up for what is right. How many top players have ever done that? A true hero is what Novak is.
👍👍👍
So well said ❤
Talk about ridiculous hyperbole: "This man is a beacon for democracy, free speech and human rights." He's a tennis player, not someone like Nelson Mandella. Give me a break!
I've been watching Djokovic for more than 15 years, what a privilege to absorb the knowledge from this gentlemen!
...instinctively, physically, intellectually, mentally, emotionally and spiritually balanced...that's why he is the best tennis player of all time...my dearest neighbor Nole...

Credit should be given to how smart and personable he is too. Fluent in multiple languages. Excellent sense of humor. Authentic in interviews. Concerned for welfare of other players and people.

I will never understand why so many people don’t like this man. He deserves so much respect. You would have to search long and hard to find someone this authentic, stoic & genuine. I have learned so much from him and his mental strength and integrity. I have been a fan since he started, and no, I’m not Serbian, I just saw something inside of him the other players didn’t have - proud to have been with him since day 1. 🐐 Goat 🐐
I started watching tennis because of Federer, but then came this champion from Serbia who won my heart.
It’s cause he wasn’t always the man he is now. If you’ve followed his career, his whole career, you would know why some of the hate against him was mandated.
@@scottstorchfan nope can't, please ellaborate
@@carmenwilkesuhre9312 Can’t what?
Do you want me to elaborate about all of his antics and questionable on court behaviour thruout his career? Then we will be here all day.
I agree that Nole is very classy and a great sports man. NOW. But he wasn’t always like this. And even if you’re a moderate tennis fan, this is common knowledge.
..he lied about Covid in this interview, actually he convinced thousands & thousands of people NOT to take vaccine. He got what he deserved in Australia, thought he goes to his Serbia where he do what he wants... he is a good tennis player but thats it, he's not a great thinker, if add up time he went to school it gives you several years only... about his arrogance and attitude nothing to say, it came along with the money, no surprise...
How can someone hate this man? He is the best but at the same time he is so genuine and modest. He is the very person who is telling our kids that hard work pays off. He is a true hero! Long live Djoko
he practices black magic for Daniela Divenera and is a spy for yugoslavia and consults with tea milankovic for his dark magic
And to keep some room for failure and that’s ok as you could acknowledge where you did bad and then bounce back. He’s great person.
In order to be liked by everyone, u have to be phony and fake.
U can’t please everyone.
If u’re true to urself and never stop being urself, a lot of ppl’s gonna hate u - simply bcuz u’re not like them.
But u might also gain some hardcore diehard true fans/ppl along the way - which is “us” who like him deeply.
That is more valuable in my opinion.
ahahaha he's one of the most insincere athletes around. Hero?? For doing what? lol
Easy. His behavior.
My Man Djokovic is a HERO! A true real human hero. A great athlete, a thoughtful champion, and a defeater of obstacles.
I used to be Roger's fan but Djokovic is in different class all together, on and off the court. This man is definitely the greatest of all time. Respect
I will always be a Roger fan first everyone else is second.
@@vw4069As a Federer fan I admitted long time ago Novak vl b the GOAT of tennis and in the years to come he vl create more n more history. Kudos to Nole❤❤❤
Roger's game is far more beautiful
@@vw4069That's good , we all have our favourite but we must understand the best player on this earth to pick up a tennis 🎾 is this man right here " The Goat" no one will ever rack up what he's achieved
24 slams .. we'll get good players yes , but not like Djockovic
Having followed this sport like a fanatic for nearly 30 years, I cannot imagine a more inspiring and wholesome athlete than this man. He is one of a kind. We are lucky to have seen him play and conquer.
What a beautiful perspective and comment. I agree with you. I feel fortunate that my life's timeline overlapped with the life of this astounding human being.
"Wholesome" does not even remotely apply to Djokovic when he is on court.
I’ll never forget Amanda ex Au politician who said she is sick of Dokovic in the time of corona 💩
He is a typical Jugoslavian, mentality wise. Personally I can't stand it. I do applaud him for his stance on the vaccine, though, that was good stuff. As for tennis: he is lucky that his primary adversary got chronically injured a long time ago. Now he is picking up basically free Slams due to the lack of competition. That's all good, but people with insight need to call a spade a spade.
@@marcusbrsphe won against Nadal when he was completely healthy, many many times. Some illness of one of his opponent can't diminish his legacy. And winning majors and titles now (last 5 years) is tougher then it was in some other eras before.
Djokovic is now the GOAT of tennis. I called him the GOAT right after he won Cincinnati 2018. He had done it all.
After 2016 RG he was HIM
@@Braselton21it was all about Rafa and Djoković. Where was Fed in 2010's?
@@Braselton21 Exactly. What Novak did winning RG16, no one did before him. Right at that point he was supposed to be consider GOAT yet not many people were aware of that.
Let's be real. If people were given the opportunity to learn all of Federer or Djokovic's strokes, any person who isn't living in denial would pick Federer's. That tells you all you need to know who the GOAT is.
@@initialize21 Goat isnt measured by ppls taste. It is measured by throphies.
Extremely likeable, extremely humble, and has always had the crowd and media against him and still came out on top. Truly the best and a class act, great person and greatest player of all time who always stands behind his principles.
He seems to you likeable and humble but inside him that's fire of nationalists,everytime when he play tennis in every game he has to say something about Republic of Kosovo ,and if we see his roots he might be an albanian from montenegro ,but albanians over the centuries were asimilated ,as are assimilating nowadays in different countries of the world
@@turkofalbanianorigine1629
Bro what are you talking about😭😭😭😭 he’s said something about Kosovo a couple of times, no where near every game😂 and there is nothing wrong with being nationalistic, just ask your fellow Albanians and Turks…. You really wish he was Albanian hahahaha
@zzz77-77 and he is albanian ,you know that very well
@zzz77-77 I mean he has albanian roots ,like me ,my roots are albanian born in Türkiye
@@turkofalbanianorigine1629 yes yes of course he is, and Tesla is Croatian, skenderberg is Greek and Alexander the Great is probably Albanian too and so on… you should do stand up comedy, you are very funny
Coming from a big Federer fan and Nadal too, I cannot express the admiration I have for Novak. He is such an icon. As a former pro hockey player, I had a few idols across various sports, but Novak has become the biggest for me and now my kids.
♥
Hello, are you saved yet by Jesus?
Yes, I am. Hallelujah!!
I was always a fed fan. But man this guy has completely grown on me. Fed will always be the most graceful tennis player in my eyes but I can no longer accept he is the goat with what I’m witnessing with Novak. It’s too impressive to deny at this point he’s that dude now
Facts
djoko fan said . -> " i m a big fan of nadal but Djoko etc " or " im big fan of Federer but Djoko " . we know the story
@@lartisan6274 wow that’s such an elegant and poignant perspective I must say. Thanks for contributing your input so we wouldn’t be without it!
eh not really. true FEDAL fans will always know and even djoko fans knows that him being a hypocrite, creating his own dramas, being a drama queen, cheating as always by taking bathroom breaks and medical timeout, many reasons why he won't be as loved as FEDAL
Same could have been said about Federer if he was Novak's and playing against ucrrent comp.
A living legend
He surely is. A war torn mind is hard to beat
He's just a tennis player. The GOAT, no less, but still only a tennis player
He is not a legend. Legends are only Nadal and Federer.
@@flyinghighalways2000 He is not a legend he surpass them in every aspect so he is more than that !
Finally an interview intended to portray Novak as the Champion he really is inside and outside of the court.
It’s so great that his original coach lived long enough to see him win Wimbledon and for them to reminisce about their dream for him. That was a beautiful moment
What a legend. Killer interview too.
I have been busy to push the like button of all the wonderful and honest comments about Djokovic. I so admire him, as a tennis player but also as an extraordinary human being, so intelligent, wise, honest, open, compassionate and much more.And if slamming a racket once and a while the reason that many don’t like him, well, that is imo focusing on a single drop of oil in a ocean of pure and clean water. Always my number one, support and love,from Belgium 🇧🇪 , Novak ❤
👍
People can say whatever they want about him, he's a genius and probably the best ever to do it. 🇭🇷 te voli!
I love how articulate he is. You can tell he’s intelligent on and off court based on the way he expresses himself
This interview should be required watching for leaders in all walks of life. What a philosophy, what an insightful person.
Yes, this man’s methods should be studied by all greats and wannabe greats!
I disagree. It seemed like more a fluff piece than anything. There wasn’t anything new or interesting that we didn’t already know about him.
@@robertcriqui8316it hurts when your favourite player looses year after year, but you still don't understand how/why is this happening ?
@@robertcriqui8316 Well, it was an opportunity for Djokovic to present himself, it was not a 60 Minutes "gotcha" type of piece. However, I thought the way Djokovic described mental training, staying in the moment, having tools for dealing with self-doubt, etc., was really well said. I've gone to many management development and leadership development courses and I thought this was as well said as I've heard. IMHO.
Horrible take. Yikes.
Djokovic competed in the most challenging era in tennis, facing off against formidable opponents such as Federer, Nadal, Murray, Wawrinka, and Delpotro, as well as emerging talents like Tsitsipas, Zverev, Thiem, Alcaraz, Medvedev, and Sinner. He emerged victorious against all of them, shattering numerous records in the process. In my opinion, he stands as the greatest tennis player of all time and possibly the greatest athlete to ever exist.
Nadal won all his grand slams against both prime Roger and prime Novak. Even if he missed 12 slams due to injuries. Novak is cleaning table against weak era against the likes of ruud
But nadal also faced the least amount of top 10 players en route to grand slams. Never even faced roger at US open. Djokovic faced roger 6 times if I recall.
Also nadal won his last RG against Ruud…
@@puffytooth nadal played over 12 less grand slams. So you think it’s strange that he faced less ?
weak era is actually the last several years, which is why Bathroombreakovic has been flourishing.
Alcaraz = discount Nadal
Sinner = discount Berdych
Medvedev = discount Murray
Tsitsipas = discount Kuerten
Rublev = discount Safin
Shelton = discount Roddick

I have always been a djoker fan for his tennis, now I respect Novak as a human being, flaws and gifts that he offers to the world. Thank you for your service ☺️
Not a tennis fan but I like this guy’s conviction.
Tennis is really interesting sports. Start watching it
Congrats Novak keep on shining!
Great tennis player and great athlete of the world .
Gave up slams for his integrity. Respect.

I LOVE listening to him. He is a genius!
This guy is the living physical embodiment of never giving up
I absolutely adore this guy! God bless him and his family 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼🍀
After all of these years, Novak is finally getting his dues. The public is finally seeing him for who he truly is. When he suffered through that Australia debacle, I thought, “This will be the end for him. As strong as he is, even he can’t endure this onslaught.”
But look at him. Stronger than ever and with more positive public attention than ever before. I now think that in their effort to destroy him, they put him through the best trial by fire. Now, he is forged.
After decades of loving and admiring him, he still amazes me.
Thank you for years of inspiration, Nole.

There is only one word to describe Novak Djokovic... CHAMPION
The greatest athlete there's ever been! He's such an inspiration to non-athletes as well...
We still remember a few years ago, when Novak stood by his choice not to vaccinate himself, and became a hero for all oppressed people around the world who just wanted to have autonomy over their bodies and not be vilified for this basic human right. Not to mention his efforts towards boosting the prize pools for lower ranked players who struggle to make ends meet, as well as his endeavors of offering humanitarian aid to people in worse circumstances.
You're the GoaT Novak, and it's such a pleasure to have a man with integrity and principles representing the pinnacle of this beautiful sport. Kudos to you 🙏

Exceptional interview with an extraordinary athlete.
What a genius.
Amazing interview🙏🏻🙌🏻Djokovic is the best athlete in Human History!Galaxy of a Human being in this Serbian🇷🇸🌎❤️🙏🏻🐺
Out of adjectives to describe this man, he success never surprises but his failures do. What a man! Hail the goat
The pure legend, one of the very rare humans that goes for his bealive before money and is ready to help others .
We here in Serbia live in a country that is mostly populated by poor people that can barely make ends meet. 95% of the population lives paycheck to paycheck, some work 2 to 3 jobs at the time just to put food on the table for their families. That amount of pressure and frustration often leads to all sorts of conflicts between the loved ones, unnecessary tension and all in all an unhappy household so to speak. One thing all of us have in common is Novak Djokovic. He keeps bringing us together for more than 15 years. One of the rare times where everyone forgets about their problems, their stress, their worries and when only one thing matters: Him winning another Grand Slam. Mothers, Fathers, Sons, Daughters, Grandmas, Grandpas all come together sitting in a small living room crossing their fingers, swearing at his opponents, shouting and cheering whenever he scores a point or wins a set, hoping that Novak will once again beat not only the person across the court, but also 90% of the audience that is clapping and cheering against him. Everyone from Serbia can relate to this: Our fathers may have children, but Novak Djokovic will always be their son. They will smoke packs of cigarettes during Novak's matches, when Novak is losing we mustn't make a sound to irritate our fathers even more, they will scratch their heads and hold their foreheads in silence hoping Novak will make yet another comeback. Whenever he wins, which luckily happens often, they will cry tears of joy and cheer him on with a shot of Rakija as if we, their biological children, were there winning the Grand Slam instead of him. The day after the Grand Slam, they will watch the match on the TV again just to be 100% sure he won, watching it with the same eagerness as the day before even though they know the outcome. As long as we have Novak, we will at least sometimes get to live a weekend without worries and have something to look forward to and for that, I thank him from the bottom of my heart.
One day a lot of Serbs will be in the top 20 of ATP
Your speech touch the heart . ❤❤❤. Thank to all of you Serbs who always support and sustain Nole. Thank you from the bottom of my hearth🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What this man wrote is the truth 100%, guess what I'm doing right now? Watching AO 2019 Final over and over again, wishing Djokovic spanks Nadal and wins another GS en route, God Bless Serbian Nation, all the good people in this 🌎 and 🐐 #NovakDjokovic 🙏☦
I have to correct it's not a gift I've trained - legend djoker 🎉❤
It's a privilege and honor to watch a living legend like Novak play at the very high level. Great time to be alive. 👑👑👑🐐🇷🇸
The thing I like about Novak, besides his mental toughness, besides his beautiful game is that he speaks his mind and doesn’t try to cater to a specific group of people! It’s nice to see an athlete as great as him be human!
The truly remarkable thing is that he manages to continue to rise above that constant pressure of every one trying to beat you or topping yourself. Incredible athlete.

My favourite tennis player for the past decade. From being the only Djoker fan in a sea of Rafa and Federer fans, to today supporting the absolute GOAT, it’s been a wild ride. He deserves every bit of respect as a top level athlete.
He looks better then anytime before, inteligent, well spoken, bright, politically aware, evenhanded. His covid attitude made him courageous to me , now he is winning, keeping his covid disobedience in visible background. He is a winner everywhere! God bless him and Serbia!

And he had to do it all alone on the court with no one to help him but himself. Messi really has never had to conquer obstacles of that magnitude.
@@stidudiiduriMessi is no where near in front of Djokovic. Tennis is the most physically and mentally demanding sports. Football is 90 mins sports but they run for only 15-20 mins. After every minute football gets paused due to fall, card or some acting. 10-11 players totally run for just 15-20 mins
you do realise that football is most watched, played and respected sport in this planet? LOL. Do I need to even continue? It's the most difficult sport to be the best and Messi has shown crazy levels that nobody come even close. It's equal to Djokovic leading by 10 grand slams compared to second. @@ajeetp470
The best thing he said was that he had more than he needed and he was giving back, particularly to those tennis athletes that may never get the chances he had.
First class.
Elegant, handsome, very smart, and a great athlete this Djokovic
"I accept myself as a flawed human being" - Novak candidly stated this in response to his bad temper of breaking racquets.
How many of us would be so honest and courageous to admit that they are really fallible in such a candid fashion??
He stays humble ❤ he shares from the open mind and heart ❤️ what a great mental and physical and brain work behind it. Novak is exploring the boundaries of human sports, of human everything
This is my theory as to why the media says he’s “hated” when in fact he is truly loved and admired by many and respected by all: when Novak came along the 2 most popular players (Roger and Rafa) in the sport had already established themselves at the top of the rankings and were winning most of the slams, regularly beating Novak along the way! Novak took his professionalism, his fitness, and diet along with his mental strength to the next level in 2011 and began beating people’s favorite/most popular players, as a result he was a villain of sorts because the third wheel was no longer a friendly foe taking losses and was now dominating and threatening their records and positions in tennis history as potentially the greatest ever! Novak himself is an absolutely lovely person, kind, looking out for his fellow players with the player’s association, a philanthropic person, always embracing his opponents with a hug even after tough losses, applauding great shots during close, tough matches, and has an incredible intelligence and sense of humor as evidenced by his interviews and press conferences! He is well-spoken and articulate in many languages, and he is passionate about the game he plays and loves! I personally think another reason Novak gets haters is because he speaking his truth and standing up for his beliefs (like with the vaccines) instead of constantly being PC and saying what people in the media want him to say! He’s truly authentic and I respect and love him for who is is as a person and a player! Roger was my favorite player from a technique standpoint but Novak is without a doubt the greatest player of all time and he is also my favorite for all the unmatched smarts, dedication and discipline he puts into his life to be successful!
Well press hated him for decades, and they can't let go of their narrative. They decided to stick with it I guess, but hating Novak is unpopular now so they are talking in past terms and shyly distancing themselves, changing their attitude, but without admitting to anything.

Thank you
So wonderfully summarized! Thank you!!
There's the part where he doesn't fit culturally (thank God).
Europeans who are clearly non-Western elicit a strange fascination in the West. Look at the obsession with Russia.
Djokovic is the GOAT's GOAT.
Great episode.
How can any crowd be hostile to this incredible athlete? He’s the GOAT for a reason. I’m constantly in awe of Nole. Watching him play makes me happy.
I love and admire Novak, on and off the court! A legend and the GOAT 👏❤️
Let's be real. If people were given the opportunity to learn all of Federer or Djokovic's strokes, any person who isn't living in denial would pick Federer's. That tells you all you need to know who the GOAT is.

Novak Djokovic is one of the most inspiring people in the world today, even though most of us do not play professional sport for a living - his desire to be the best he can be & constantly look for ways to improve not only as a tennis player, but also as a father, a husband & a human being are things we all can add into our own lives on a daily basis to improve the societies we live in
I've always been a fan of players that have a great return of serve ( Agassi, Hewitt, and now Novak) as that was my forte.
But many years ago when I first saw Novak doing hilarious impressions of other players I knew this guy was extra special.
Over the years my admiration has grown due to all the numerous things he stands for and the intelligence and dedication it takes to speak fluently so many languages while working out to beat back all the contenders.
My only question would be - Where does he ever find time to sleep.
He is the GOAT in tennis, but on those rare occasions when he loses, you see always how extremely gracious he is in defeat and how sincere his congratulatory remarks are to his opponent. truly one of a kind.
Greatest tennis player of all time! Period! My hero
Much more than the GOAT- an amazing father, and a kind and wise human being… Cheers Novak! 👏🏻
A legend. How can people not like him is not understandable.
Maybe not everyone likes ripping shirts and breaking rackets on the tennis courts?
@@sach8906 You probably don't see the point. Your view of life and sports is limited.
@@samojako509 and you are very judgemental!
