most misunderstood player,he is finest human being,best speaker even in defeats,a poly gloat,talks like a refined statesman,appreciates rivals even during the game,takes care of lowly ranked players,his foundation doing great by imparting education to under previliged in SERBIA,his home town,fought with partisan crowds with smile n at times,a roar of line, particularly against 2 greats FEDERER N NADAL,if he stays healthy,going to win at least 28 grand slams n appearance in over 40 GS finals,respect n best wishes for him.
Most under appreciated champion in sports history. A true GOAT
Novak is an EXAMPLE of mind set when he goes trough difficulties. One of the best sportsman ever.
Life lesson to the world, stand firm on your principles.
Let's appreciate him when he's still playing! The dedication and focus that he possesses 🔥

@@NBGD22 no. Djokovic has won 10 titles after the age of 30. Nadal 3. Come on, it’s not the same. They are even in mayors, but Novak is one year younger. In every single statistic, Novak owns Nadal, except for winning 14 titles in one single tournament. Nobody has been so dominant at one single tournament as Nadal. I give him that, but in every single other statistic , Djokovic is the best.
The best player in the world and a kind generous person may he win more grand slams
A strong straight backbone...unlike many other players
Let’s forget about the stats even if Novak has the numbers as well. The reason why Novak is the GOAT is, unlike Roger and Rafa, he had to win with all the noise (and hate) off the court and so many times had to win big matches with the crowd cheering against him and heckling him. The other two never experienced that. That’s just fact.

The two greatest sportsperson of this era Messi and Novak ......
Well this indisputable GOAT 🐐 derives motivation from his pain and suffering. He is the hallmark of greatness and I don't think you will have such a player at least for the next ten generations. So savour him when he is doing the unthinkable in 🎾 and relish his strategical and power filled tennis that has few parallels. He is the most talented player and his game is the most effective actualising extraordinary outcomes. He has already won 10 slams post 30 and I expect him to overhaul his tally pre-30s; that is Novak for you, the ultimate tennis machine and the 24 carat meticulous Terminator.

Novak is simply a record breaking tennis phenomenon. He'll for sure go on to beat Serena Williams GS record of 23 wins.

Williams' GS record is immaterial - it means absolutely nothing as the women's game has nothing to do with men's tennis whatsoever. Many people seem to forget that Margaret Court actually won 24 GS, which is one more title than Williams achieved, but it still means nothing if we're concentrating on men's tennis, and purely on men's records. The men's game can only be judged on its own merits, and the same applies to the women's game. Still, if Novak's aiming for it, I hope he gets his wish.
6:34 I thought finaly theyre gonna mention other relevant records like 1# weeks and year end, ATP finals where top 8 players can only play, double career masters and all that, holding all slams at once... For the love of god I dont know why Wilander was mentioning 250 tournies. Djokovic holds almost all the other important records next to slams.
Yes, he is a very phenomenal and exceptional man. He does many things to be this way. But I remember when John was questioning his eating habits even making a bit of fun of it. How quickly we forget.

Novak Djokovic the Biography by Chris Bowers is fascinating.

Djokovic you're the Best!
GOAT.
The jacket was kept secret from him by his family and Lacoste until he won. Yes, he is superstitious and yes, he is the GOAT.
I never cry so HARD watching him win the AO 2023.. I never cried. It was the win for everyone who wants to be like Novak. I don't care or idolize anyone, Novak is a really nice human being ethical and with PRINCIPALS. I am not vax so he represent many like myself who love freedom of what we put in our bodies. Novak is not the regular tennis player. Novak is a WARRIOR like none other. The other two play for money they "behave" according to what the press like so they can be "popular" Novak is a real man who speak up his mind. He is a HERO who fights and cares for the important things in life, not just fame the guy is so great inside and outside the country. Placing Nadal and Federer at Novak level is unjust and I like them. But the only GOAT is Novak and he will MARK that very clear before he retires. Juts watch

Novak is the greatest tennis player in the world - the rest are not worth talking about! Because what Novak did was much more than play tennis, he highlighted the corruption and evil that lurks in the hearts of so-called officials, who are so quick to follow a fake narrative and destroy many people's livelihoods. Novak stood up to all of that and therefore, in my eyes, he is a legend on all levels!

Johnny Mac was one of the few ppl in tennis on the right side of the Novak v Australia debate last year.
Mats, Novak actually didn't win that many "small, 250 point titles". Out of 93 won so far, 66 are the big titles (22 slams, 38 masters, 6 YE Championships - Tour Finals). He is leading Rafa in that category by 7 big titles, and Roger by 12. That's a way better percentage than the other two especially Roger who won the total of 103 titles but "only" 54 big ones. Novak won 12 titles of the ATP250 category and 15 of the ATP500. Rafa: 10 of ATP250 and 23 of ATP500; Roger: 25 of ATP250 and 24 of ATP500.

"No major competition in sight"? Seems you forgot about Alcaraz and Rune, both of whom are young, fearless, hungry, determined, and will only become even better players. Don't underestimate either of these two, and don't underestimate how difficult it is to win just one Grand Slam title, let alone 22. Novak isn't stupid enough to take any rival player for granted, and neither should you be. Nobody ever hands over a Grand Slam title on a plate - it has to be earned, and that starts by respecting your opponent. Thankfully, Novak is already well aware of that.

@@Turrican60 It would be great if they can rise to that level, especially Alcaraz, they are both great no doubt. They are not at the level of Djokovic/Nadal/Federer yet, which makes it easier for Djokovic to grab a couple more titles with ease, before time starts catching up with him and the younger players are able to offer a better challenge. All the rest of your rant..not sure where that came from. I didn't really say anything about Novak being stupid or that he should underestimate players. Even he knows that he's head and shoulders above the rest as of now, that's why he powered through the injury and won the grand slam with ease when he was not even at his best, and you know how difficult it is to win even a single grand slam! He even had the "22" slams jacket ready before hand, that's how much he was aware of his opponents threat.

@@dingdong4969 the best performances this tournament came from Alcaraz. His best level right now is actually a bit better than Djokovics at this stage. That's not me saying Alcaraz is a better player. Djokovic isn't in his prime anymore. But he's still so damn good, but even more than that he's ultra clutch in big moments and he uses all that experience, discipline, self belief and so on so well. And that's why he's still ahead of Alcaraz. For now. But Djokovic cannot get any better than he is at this stage. Alcaraz has time to get better. And one area he clearly does need to sort out was highlighted by him shooting himself in the foot in his match against Djokovic by cramping thanks to winding himself up so much with nerves and whatever else facing Djokovic. But even Djokovic had a lot of troubles early in his career. But time alone isn't enough. He has to make the right moves. We'll just have to see what happens, but once Alcaraz got past his tightness at the start of set one he was getting better as it went on and it's quite obvious the tennis level is there to beat Djokovic, unlike Ruud who, while I really like him as a player and seemingly as a person, he could throw a house at Djokovic almost and still not win that match. There are levels to the game.
His haters help him to, fuel his fire to win even more
Mc Enroe is a big fan of players with killer's instinct, cause at his time John would have like to kill his rivals Connors and Lendl, but he wasn't able enough to do it (he just had the joy to smash Connors during an exhibition).
