Djokovic is such a fantastic human being. Humble, respects his rivals, pure sportsmanship.....what is not to love?
👍
He has surely matured and has shown much respect to his opponents and rivals. Unfortunately he isn't like by fans because of his behavior on court. I've read an article before explaining why Novak didn't win the best sportsmanship award like Roger and Rafa did. Novak is a gracious loser, meaning he admits defeat and congratulates his opponent. But he lacks sportsman behavior during the match, smashing rackets and balls, often shouting at people or even staring down at them. It seems like fans not only likes successful players, but also players that are humble and well mannered on court. IMO, all Djokovic needs to do is learn to contain and manage his emotions on court better and i'm sure more and more people will love him.
@@skychaos87 That behavior is in all of us Serbs, don't blame him for his attitude, its called "INAT", power of will when everything is versus you.
@@skychaos87 I dont agree that he needs to change his behaviour on court, he gets angry he vents out and than he plays better, watch more of his games it is always like that, he plays bad - he vents out (bracking racket,shouting) and than he smashes his opponent.
@@kraljkraljevic9019 Yea i can see that, which is why he has much to learn about controlling his emotions and frustrations. You don't need to break rackets and shout at people to play better. If he is able to do that, i'm sure he is not only the best player but also the best sportsman. Dude is already very respectful and humble off court, all he need is good on court behavior to be an even better role model.
Federer at 39 and with one knee was more challenging then the rest of the next gen field.
Djokovic's tribute to his mother, and especially his deep recognition of the physiotherapist's hard work, moved me and showed what an incredible human being he is. I feel like I am more resentful than he is about the fact that he was wrongfully deported from Australia last year. Here too he teaches me a great lesson!
Class act from GOAT! He shows great respect to Roger!
Man please ... Roger is the GOAT. Novak has no choice but to respect a man he has lost to 23 times . Being a better grinder doesnt make you greater than the one who can do it all. 🇨🇭🐐
@@daviswalter1281
Djokovic > Federer
GS titles 21>20
Masters 1000s 38>28
Weeks no. 1 373>310
H2H 27>23
And the diffreneces now is getting bigger and bigger! Novak is ultimate GOAT who send roger to retirement after wimbledon 2019! You sholud be proud of you idol fed, he is the 3rd best ever and that is no small thing!
Whats the matter Dennis, cat got your toungue. The sheer statistical advantage Novak has over Federer Spears volumes. Try debating otherwise....
@@thenotorious2226 No to mention lost all 3 finals agains Djokovic in Wimbledon, surface where he is supposed most dominant and best of all time. That is also part of Federers legacy that his fanboys conveniently never bring up so they have to be constantly reminded . That cemented who is GOAT more that any other stats in my opinion.
@@krunobakota9502 how many COVID weeks of frozen rankings did Novak #1 weeks build without playing tennis 🤔 He probably still gets that mark but sure is a lot of free weeks.
How many consecutive weeks at #1... O That's Rogers mark by a mile. .
Well done to Novak for his kind words and tribute to retired fellow great Roger Federer. He has not always been well liked in the past - though his greatness as a tennis player has always been acknowledged among his critics - but certainly in the last year or two he has won at least many, if not most, of his critics over and I do not think most people will begrudge his successes in the future, including, open certainly, this year’s Australian Open, with all due respect to his opponents. Djokovic has shown, and consistently continues to show, why he is the best tennis player in the world and he thoroughly deserved to hold that title, for a while longer at least, although time will eventually catch up with even him, as it did with Federer.
What a terrific human being. The crowd is literally there for him and he goes and makes it about other people. His mom, Roger, his trainer, his opponents....we are living in the era of a very special superstar
Just can’t stop admiring Novak! Class act in every aspect👍👏💪🧡 It’s a pleasure to witness his greatness
👍
What a humble guy❤️❤️
Go for it Nole😍😍
How can anyone dislike this guy! A real class act ❤
Breins sick people.
FEDAL lickers do......pathetic, they do it SO blindly
He wants people to like him,but he is a disgrace,never ever on Roger and nadals level.
@@chiragsood4668 You wanted to see Roger win Wimbledon but 40-15 happened.
@@chiragsood4668 Yes you are right! He is above them in every way! Playing, behavior, sportsmen!
Not just good at tennis but also eloquent with the speech!!
Such a great guy!
Pure class ❤️ a true champion but more importantly a true human being ❤️
Class act from the 🐐
Nole💪🇷🇸♥️🖕
@@pedjapan7949 👆* 🤫🤭😅♥️ , broski .
Federer is the 🐐.
Yes, Novak we all miss the golden era of tennis. And we are grateful that you are still here holding up the wobbling pillar of the pathetic nextgen era.
At least he can enjoy racking up all these grandslams with such weak competition compared to the early days with roger murray nadal hewitt roddick wawrinka and del potro where it was much more difficult
@@APRA30 Rafa is still around you know
@@lukaz3336 Rafa, where?
I miss Roger so much. The only player who'd I'd set the alarm for if he was playing in a different time zone. Whenever he stepped on court there was always such a buzz and excitable energy in the stands. For those who have seen him live you'll know what I'm talking about.
Djokovic is the GOAT, his tennis is the most complete, but Federer is different. He just plays tennis in it's most natural form and unfortunately we won't get to see any new matches from him ever again.
What a guy ! What a man !
He is a nice guy it's sad that this country dosent respect probably the best player in history
O that island?
Genio totale di qualunque palcoscenico.
Classe infinita!
Class act, Mr. Novak!
Big huge biggest respect for Djokovic for given that round of applause for feather where his rival but also of the court I believe they are good friends well I don't know I'm just presuming but the respect the joke of it is showing to every player especially Federer who is the tennis legend it's really it's really amazing
Class act~ always!! Love how humble and genuine he is.❤️🐐❤️🎾
This guy is so genuine. True gentlemen and such a great ambassador for tennis
Class act
Beautiful tribute and words
I miss Roger
when you say you are the best, it is a boasting : When your opponent says you are the best , it is a compliment. So when you are the best , keep it to yourself. otherwise others will hate you more. This fact of life.
Love Novak he's the greatest athlete in the 🌎
Aww he loves his mama 💕
Hey Hey Hey NOVAK LOVE 💘💕YOU MILLIONS A SUPERSTAR A GENIUS WITH A HEART ❤💙💜💖💗💘OF GOLD BEAUTIFUL SEEING YOU PLAYING AGAIN NOVAK ❤💛💖BEEN WITH YOU YEAR'S NOLE ❤💕💖VERY MUCH GOOD LUCK NOVAK MARGO
I don’t know why He gets such a bad wrap He is very classy and respectful He doesn’t deserve the hate he gets
you are a legend
Novak Djokovic is that guy
He is the MAN 🐐🐐🐐
Novak is legend ☝️
Djokovic and Federer the greatest gentlemen to ever grace the game of tennis 🎾
I miss Roger too, and he was NOT too old. He can come back.
Hi, the english of Djokovic Is so fluent and he speak so well
bravo NOVAK DJOKOVIC
YOU AR THE BEST
PLAYER
Novak is such a challenger and fighter ! He was never a bad guy, just that he was fighting for the title always ! He is a strong believer rightly so that I can challenge anyone old, young, pro etc. That's such a true spirit !
Such a large hearted person Novak is. Can anything be any more classier? Can you even expect in your wildest imagination such a warm gesture from Roger or Rafa? Still, haters will keep saying he is a bad influence and all sorts of crap.
And you listen?
Those Australian people present here must be PRETTY ASHAMED of everything he had been through a year ago... uneasy conscience... A HERO IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD...
Australians are a land of racist theives
So much respect to Nole giving his rescpects to the goat !!
His english is amazing
GOAT
Roger=🐐.
Djoko is the goat! Happy to see mr super pc federer go!
Class act from Novak!
Mom ❤
It's really amazing there to Djokovic and Federer or such Fighters and arrivals on the court but they still have love and respect for each other of the court that's a beautiful thing that's very very humble down-to-earth and Joker vs prime example of how to be humble and how to pay Hannah's and respect to Roger Federer I love both of them but now we really do miss Roger Federer on the court
I remember the same joke Novak made with Roger during their Laver Cup match how he remembered Federer's match that he lost in 2007, and Federer said "now he is being nice, thank you Novak". And then Djokovic said, "wait I am not done", Federer said "wait, we gotta get to the other 20 plus grand slam matches we've played". And then Djokovic brings up the 2019 Wimbledon Final and apologized to Roger and Roger immediately says "what happened there? I blocked it out" 😂 Comedy gold.
20 plus matches that Novak has won. They did not play 20 plus Grand Slam matches in total.
@@framey3830 isso e verdade porem federer mesmo aposentado continua tendo mais titulos que qualquer outros. Ele nao so pegou a geração de djokovic nadal, tb sampras, lendel, andre agassi. Sem contar que ele e inquestionavel o maior da historia para grande maioria dos outros tenistas
Djokovic is a classy guy even though media tries to make him look bad
even Prime Djokovic have to mention Federer shown how mighty Federer is
Everyone loves Roger.
When you are the best! Don’t mention any kind of small injuries because your peers or people will not believe. They think you’re invisible because you’re so good and they’re expecting the best from you! People don’t understand that you’re just a human being just like them. Novak is the best player!
Well said 👍 what a champion
Time flies... Courier used to look really young with his baby face... Even he is now showing signs of aging.
What do u want.. the guy is in his fifties
His mum looks the same age as him 😮 wow
If Novak wins this its done he is GOAT and still no debate.
Nole 🐐❤️
You can't feel tired talking with this guy
Looks like Djokovic is trying to show the Aussies what tennis is all about and not to refuse him entry ever again!
Roger gets some recognition from Novak Roger still is king even though he only has 20 slams. He's having a great life outside of tennis a celebrity now will see what the other two do after tennis Roger is everywhere we will see. Congrats Novak
The guy who got booed the most during his career asking the crowd who showered Federer with applause 24/7 for even more applause, what a guy... Anyways, Fed doesn't deserve this, he wouldn't do a fraction of this for Novak.
And the crowd still loves Rog! 🐐
Forever the 🐐.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yup more love than even 1% this moron will ever receive. He tries to fool people by making himself sound very classy but he isn't. His sudden thankfulness of his physiotherapist comes just after people start talking about him faking or over exaggerating his injury and sudden desire to tribute Roger comes as the crowd started to cheer for Roger wildly just on the mention of his name. There was nothing he could have done to save his face so he does the only thing he knows and that is show how much holier than thou he is by asking the crowd to again cheer for Roger 🤣🤣🤣 and showing people how big hearted he is when I'm reality he is burning from inside 😂😂
@@hiravparekh8695 I see the 40-15 is still burning you inside. I'm afraid it will never not burn. Djokovic completely ruined federers career. Without Djokovic federer would have 25+ slams and many more weeks at #1. And now federer will go down as the 3rd greatest tennis player HAHAHAHAHA. Enjoy the fan support, but nobody will care about fan support 10 years from now. Future people will only look back at records and that's where federer has failed completely.
@@SPZ909 grow up kid
Someone please hook up Roger with one of those machines. A comeback maybe...
The media runs with a narrative about Djokovic and it's seems fairly clear from every time I see the comments and the fan reactions in the crowd that the supporters don't share the same sentiment. its a real shame to see a man become a pseudo villain for headlines.
The media hate Djokovic because he wouldn't take their master's (Billy Gates) jab but they can get stuffed!
Djokovic is a legend of the sport and his stance has earned him so much respect (especially with us non-jabbed).
Australian fans are very knowledgeable - the media thinks we're stupid but we know otherwise.
novak is such a great player! hey, i wanna say happy birthday to my cat.
How old is your cat now?
"Adjustments? What's an Adjustment?"
It was not a tribute you definite masters of big brains 😂😂😂😂😂😂The Goat kinda teased him .
Sorriest sight ever, a dejected rublev on the training bike.
Rublev is a Great player and he'll win a GS eventually. The Joker is to good.🇷🇸🇷🇺
Rublev is a fantastic player. He’s beaten Roger, Rafa, and Novak before. He knows how to win. It’s just he was playing against the GOAT:….
You have to learn how to lose, before you know how to win.
@@brucekilby9957 every man has his day, Novak is the last of the old guard, he'll fall eventually
I think Roger will come back why not
Yes, Roger was a great Champion and tennis misses him, although he was always jealous of Novak.
But you can't blame him, he is a great enough tennis player to recognize the GOAT in Novak!
Mentally maybe. Novak was always jealous of Federer tennis wise.
Roger Federer is third best of this ridiculous era. What an amazing player.
Lmao, Federer is the 🐐,Nadal second and Djokovic top 10 may be,weak era chump, overrated.
@@chiragsood4668 how’s your seventh booster going?
@@chiragsood4668 Still butt hurt over 40-15? I have bad news for you, it’s never not going to hurt.
@@SPZ909 lmao learn some decent english first you 🤡,Roger still has the most career titles and by far the most loved athlete.
@@sleepyjoe8394 your father must have used protection to prevent all of this .
It's a long been im not up to date with Tenis, but im here for Djokovic's attitude towards "Individual Freedom he stood for at the very crucial Time of PLANdemic." It's not an exaggeration to say for this Act he should be given NOBEL.
The guy from the back is so annoying.
You are not intelligent enough to understand him.. There is probably a tennis player of your level IQ.. Listen and watch him not Novak.. Best wishes..
So after crowd started cheering loudly for Federer just on the mention of his name, there was nothing Djoker could do so he says let's give him a big hand lol 🤣🤣🤣. He must be thinking from inside wtf Roger is still stealing my thunder after retirement even when not being present on the court 🤣🤣🤣 but he smartly tried to turn it around by showing as if he is giving tribute to Feeder where as in reality crowd started cheering for him even before Djoker asked
Disagree. Djok didn't have to say give him a hand. That was his cool personality.
@@jamievidd775 ok you tell me what other option he had? That was the only way to not only save his face but to also look cool And noble. It's a well known fact at this point that Djoker has always craved for public support because he receives next to none most of the time. Crowd is mostly against him and for a reason. They don't like his attitude on court. That's why even after he lost GS final to Medvedev he was happy at the end because people were cheering for him(he was losing and people just want longer match). All his actions is always to try to look cool and noble and nice human being just like Roger. In words of the great Nick Kyrigios "I just feel like he has a sick obsession with wanting to be liked. He just wants to be like Roger [Federer],” and that's so true that all his actions and words and antiques before and after the match and off court and everywhere else in public is driven by that one thing, his desire to be liked and not just liked but like Roger. The only time he acts real is when he is playing on court because you can't hide your emotions when playing competitively at that level. That's when the real ugly Djokovic comes out and people see the true Djoker and that's why they hate him. Of course it's the same in his personal life behind the cameras with his wife. He has anger issues that he once accidentally showed on fb live or insta live can't remember
Haha it looked abit too much I agree
Missed Roger and missed Nadal this Year not on Final
This Serb is unfit to mention the goat ROGER
Shame on Australia for banning him last year. Leave politics our of sports..
It is impossible to love a REAL FAKE.
cope harder 😂😂
How is this a tribute????? Djokovic since 2011 disrespect Djokovic and it was always sarcastic about him like he did on this video mocking on Federer
it was sarcastic before up to 2014 but it's not anymore for years he always compliments roger honestly remember in cincinatti and wimbledon 2014 he always said thank you for letting me win here lmao, they are not best friend in the world but respect each other and had a crazy rivalry novak was always a rafa fan even in the early 2000's and a good friend with rafa, federer being older and not having any relationship with him early in his career didn't make him close with roger while rafa and novak are around the same age so they naturally were closer. he didn't hate roger really it was more his fans who were unfair when he played him and once also when roger told djokovic family to keep quiet that one time he crossed the line a lil bit djokovic never told any box to shut up except his but since then he didnt have any true hate toward roger it was only the pro fed fans and the rich casuals who were there being annoying and disrespectful to novak.
Djokovic clearly said that sarcastically 😂 he is poking fun at the pretend 🐐 with Federer being preoccupied with fashion and skiing.
He got so jealous 🤣🤣🤣 . He tries to fool people by making himself sound very classy but he isn't. His sudden thankfulness of his physiotherapist comes just after people start talking about him faking or over exaggerating his injury and sudden desire to tribute Roger comes as the crowd started to cheer for Roger wildly just on the mention of his name. There was nothing he could have done to save his face so he does the only thing he knows and that is show how much holier than thou he is by asking the crowd to again cheer for Roger 🤣🤣🤣 and showing people how big hearted he is when I'm reality he is burning from inside 😂😂
@@hiravparekh8695 yeah you figured it all out😆
@@design4leathercom739 🤣🤣🤣 It's obvious to me and many other people but obviously for fools like you I can see how you view this as complex and something that people have to figure out 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@hiravparekh8695 you are the jealous loser
Yeah Roger has personality unlike Novak
Can’t wait for Novax to retire. Apart from Serbians and some fans in other countries the vast majority of real tennis fans won’t shed a tear when he retires. Good riddance!
Aj jedi govna
@ICA says jealous loser
Science and vaccine denialist! SHAME ON HIM.
He's vaccinated you moron.
As if you are a great scientist
@@SPZ909 who novak ? lmao never in a million years and he was right.
What happened to your science? It was all fake and all for nothing. Your jab didn't protect people against anything, it only gave them myocarditis.
PLEASE, players are being paid off to lose to novak and that is almost a fact.
He is not as good as beating these top players in straight sets. He is good, has many majors titles, but not like this.
Either the major(s) and organizers are paying them off, or gamblers.
They want the white man to tie and pass the Spanish name in majors count. Theory? This is logic and very obviously so. Rune smoked him very recently, yet novak crushed Rublev who beat Rune last match? I don't think so. Yes, it is true "you win some you lose some," but NOT with that score. People ARE being paid off and the ITF and ATP should do something about it.
Exactly,no-vac is a disgrace.
@@chiragsood4668 Losing a major final with 2 championship points is a disgrace.
Rune smoked him? I must have missed that match. I recall a 3 setter that went 7-5 in the 3rd and that final game was insane. Novak had 6 break points and Rune had a match point before he won the 16 minute game on his second match point.
@@adiracquetball Rune smoked him because he beat your nonak who is suppose to be untouched and unbeatable, a Nineteen Year Old almost unheard of (until his recent climb in rankings).
@markuse3472 Sure he did. And who's in the Australian Open final? The best player on the planet.
