Is Novak Djokovic, who has won the most grand slam titles of any man to ever play tennis, actually liked? Some do. Some don’t. Some are indifferent. Some have changed their mind.
“I just feel like he has a sick obsession with wanting to be liked,” Kyrgios said about Novak Djokovic in 2019.
yesterday what made the Serb so hard to beat, the Norwegian pointed to his counter-attacking game and said Djokovic has taken “how well he defends to a new level.” A brilliant winning strategy, clearly, but not one that will have many telling misty-eyed tales to their grandchildren about the time they saw him play.
“I don’t think I’ve done anything bad,” Djokovic said, doubling down in response to the fierce criticism. “If I had the chance to do the Adria Tour again, I would do it again. It’s like a witch hunt.”Still, with some people, Djokovic’s stance was a positive, rather than a negative.
Familiarity breeds… maybe not contempt, but boredom perhaps? From a spectators’ perspective, there aren’t many more joyless experiences than watching Djokovic bulldoze some wide-eyed contender in the early rounds of a tournament. Perhaps ‘liked’ is the wrong word. Respected, admired rather than loved? “I guess that’s a fair statement,” said Thompson.
