If Novak was injured which clearly he was, what would you expect him to do? Quite ridiculous saying that he wasn’t when he wanted to win for a record 25th GS!! M cEnroe should keep his opinions to himself. Hes hardly in the same league as Novak!!!!!
Great, great, honest, believes in himself not in the least touched by the commercialised statements of others who think that media make them more significant, which is inexcusable for McEnroe' s age.
@@radicakrajinovic5900 McEnroe tries to make everything about himself most of the time. And when he doesn’t, he tends to make stupid comments like he did about Novak’s injury.
i disagree, my impression been he had enough, he did not wanted to play the final against sinner_ he would have no chance to win. i believe now it was his last competitive match
Out of 434 slam matches, Novak withdrew just from 7 and some were prior to 2010 when he had Gluten allergy. Out of total 1355 matches he played, he withdrew from just 14 which is just a fraction and most were prior to 2010. Despite such a glaring statistical fact, a vicious canard is being propogated through a systematic campaign by vested interests caricaturing him as a "faker" and "quitter" to tarnish his image, reputation and regard for principles and values in life.
Oh, yes! Novak is crazy that facking injuries and retires when he was so near 25 th GS title! And after win against main rival Carlos Alcaraz!! Some people are sick of hating Biggest Novak achievemens Only because he is from Serbia , from Eastern Europe , not some of their favorites as Federer , Nadal , Sinner , Acaraz from westerm Europe or USA and Australia wich ancentors are mainly from western Europe too . Tragically situation from The Greatest Athlete Ever with no any shadow of doubt , but most of them don't want to see it and aproving. I'm sorry for Western People who loves Novak maybe more than me as a Serb i appreciate them very very much! They are amazing good , justiful and smart people!
I am an Irish-American, and my favorite players, in order, have been Novak, Santoro, and Karlovic. I like many more players as well, but these three were the most fun to watch, and the most likable guys. It’s amazing how Eastern Europeans have been so dominant in a world sport like tennis, especially on the women’ side. At tone point, about 60 per cent of the top female players were Eastern European or children of Eastern European emigrants. Canada had a big surge is top players a few years ago, but they were all Eastern Europeans! Andreescu, Raonic, Pospisil, Shapavalov……. The USA had Kenin and that blonde Russian girl whose father died…Switzerland had Hingis, Germany had Zverev, Denmark had Wozniacki, Australia had Dokic and Tomic…..even Kyrgios, if you consider Greece in the east….
I used to love McEnroe, but he needs to choose his words wisely. He used to back up Djokovic. So, I don't really know what all this is about. If Novak could not continue and if he knew that a medical timeout would not help, why spend time on that? And he respects Zverev!
Mac’s words are taken out of context. He was just saying, “He might be injured folks, but don’t think this match is over. We’ve seen him make some amazing comebacks after getting treatment….
The fool McEnroe also talked about "change of gards" when Federer lost to Tsitsipas in the AO of 2019. The big three continued to dominate for several years after that while Tsitsipas hasn't accomplished much.
At the beginning whe he wa losing he would withdraw or retire for a sore throat. He only think of what is good for himself. I think people are more skeptical about the severity of those injuries
I think that watching Key’s win her first Grand Slam after 10 years on the Pro circuit, is sweeter, purer and more heart felt than what Djokovic has had to resort to to stay relevant in his own mind, after winning the most slams of any man on the Pro circuit. Refreshing isn’t it?
He was hoping to take out the match in three sets carrying the injury. After losing the first set, he rushed his decision to retire. Clearly, he could have played on to four sets, robbing the crowd who paid good money for this match. At 37, maybe Father Time is calling to retire altogether.
As stated time and again, Novak should think of RETIREMENT. NOLE DOES NOT HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING AT THIS POINT IN TIME!!! IT'S VERY, VERY UNFAIR TO HIS CHILDREN, STEPHEN AND TARA. THEY DESERVE TO BE WITH THEIR DAD, OUTSIDE TENNIS LIFE...A NORMAL "FATHER'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS GROWING UP CHILDREN!!!😢😢😢😢😢
He’s beginning to take a lot of medications to get him through matches as well. He used to be adamant about not putting anything artificial in his body….
Looks like we have a long wait for 25, but I will wish and hope that a 25 happens in 2025, making it more memorable. Easy to say anything, but tough to stay fit and top notch at 37. I can’t think of another player who has been so consistent and result oriented.
Believe me he new his leg was bad even before stepping on court for semi-final. Why didn't he just pull out then??? To show an MRI after negative social media, he had the answer before hand....
I think there is mis understanding here, Mcnro is in good terms with Novak, he played doubles many times, may be he said not to insult rather saying don't celebrate yet, he can come back even with injuries! Be o[timisting, and don't blow it out of context and creat new controversy !
He was just saying Don't think Novak is out of the match because of an injury. McEnroe likes Novak. He knows he wasn’t faking it. Obviously Novak has a serious injury. No way he would drop out of the semis of his favorite major
Djoker was injured. Theres always gamesmanship however..I remember Pete Sampras a few times where his opponent felt sorry for him, he was woozy or sick. Then Pete would come back and win.
Johnny Mac is right, ever notice how is injury only occurs on points he lost. For sure he would have played on if he won the 1st set against Zverev. What does tgat tell you. He and Nadal have careers in Hollywood if they want them.
There is an epidemic among many top players that claim injuries when matches are tight. It helps to change the momentum and maybe buy some extra time and regroup. The officials are powerless to stop it because there is no way to prove whether an injury is real or fake.
Yeah, retiring from a match and a tournament is such a winning move. And by the way, a torn hamstring, muscle or tendon can indeed be proven as true by medical experts. I know from my own experience.
Novak has taken 2 MTOs in the past year. He withdrew from the tournament after one (and had surgery immediately afterwards) and retired from the other. Boy, when Novak fakes an injury, he goes all out!
@ All I said was that top players use injury timeouts as a tactic. Novak has been known to use the tactic. In 2006 against Wawrinka in the Davis Cup, against Roddick in 2008 US Open, against Lehecka 2024 United Cup,. Not just McEnroe but also John Alexander, Federer have said that Novak uses time-outs as a strategy.
@ being accused of something is not the same as having done it or known for doing it. People making claims without proof is just opinions. Those people should be disgusted with themselves. If they have no proof, they should keep their opinions to themselves.
At Djokovic level... It is quiet evident that he would enter the final only if he us 100%...and obviously Sinner had the best chance of getting to final... So facing Sinner.. He certainly has to be 200%.(i know people will say Djokovic also entered Wimbledon in 2024 not 100% but sinner on hard court is a different beast altogether unlike Alcaraz on grasscourt) So having said that, the mountaneous ego at his level enticed him to select to just leave the court after first set rather than getting defeated by sinner in 3 sets and possibly 1 bagel.
McEnroy is not a champion like Novak4😂his opinions are for drinked australiens-only ir for himself😂. We love and proub of Nole. We are waiting for him❤Nole be healthy❤❤❤
Djokovic knows best for his own health and injury

McEnroe did not say this. He basically said don’t count Novak out just because he has an injury timeout. This is a fake story.

Why pay any attention to McEnroe, he loves to yak, let 'im yak.
I mute when jm speaks
JoMack, shame on you! 💩
JOHN was wrong.
The tallest tree catches the strongest wind. Don’t pay attention to those jealous remarks, Novak. Many peole love you and admire you!
At the beginning whe he wa losing he would withdraw or retire for a sore throat. He only think of what is good for himself. I think people are more skeptical about the severity of those injuries
McEnroe and Alcaraz owe Djokovic a huge apology.
How very shocking!

John Mac is irrelevant now, He's trashy anyway
I would love to see Novak break Margaret Court’s record with a 25th grand slam tournament victory.
Ima 24
Mcenroe was a good tennis player. But nothing more.
Believe me he new his leg was bad even before stepping on court for semi-final. Why didn't he just pull out then??? To show an MRI after negative social media, he had the answer before hand....
Monfil did the same and no booing
John McEnroe should be ashamed
He fakes
A psychopath who couldn't controll himon the court. What would you expect from him off the court?

I like McEnroe. I do not think he was questioning Novak’s injury, rather saying that Novak can win, even when he is injured.
I heard his commentary. He was definitely questioning… putting doubt …
He was just saying Don't think Novak is out of the match because of an injury. McEnroe likes Novak. He knows he wasn’t faking it. Obviously Novak has a serious injury. No way he would drop out of the semis of his favorite major
Even if so, that' s not so worth being done as his health is.
McEnroe the biggest hoon complainer in tennis history and 2 leagues under Djokovic
So far, I thought John McEnroe was a genius. Now only I understand what a clown and joker he is..
Djoker was injured. Theres always gamesmanship however..I remember Pete Sampras a few times where his opponent felt sorry for him, he was woozy or sick. Then Pete would come back and win.
And he really was sick! Puking on the court!
@@VinceGillis-h8r I remember something similar against Courier too. Pete had such a good serve he was never out of it.
Typical clickbait.
Leave McEnroe alone tennis would be boring without his analysis you guys can't handle the truth.
Easy to comment from the air conditioned booth,
