I wasn't as bothered by Nadal winning it in 2022, but to remove Nole and Medvedev was utter Bullshit. Incredible to find a year more ludicrous than that time Roger won it without winning anything...
"Incredible to find a year more ludicrous than that time Roger won it without winning anything..." Yep. - 2019 Wimbledon Final: Roger is up 40-15 holding double championship point on his serve and the entire stadium is cheering for him with 'One More [point]!!". Meanwhile, in Roger's brain he's still thinking about the 2011 US Open Semi where he was in the exact situation vs Novak.. his brain never fully recovered from that! LOL
There will come a time when Djokovic will retire with the Most Slams, Most Big Titles, Most Masters, 400+ weeks at number 1, Better Head to Heads, and will have numbers that look so absurd, so incomprehensible, and so amazing that there will be absolutely no way to doubt his greatness. When future generations look at his highlight reel, they will see his passion, his competitiveness, his desire to win, his sportsmanship, his courage and determination, all the 2-0 and match point comebacks, all the insane sliding backhands down the line, all of the smashing crosscourt forehand returns, all of the clutch shots, and there will be no one that'll ever doubt that he was not only the best, but also the greatest tennis player of all time.
He never won a olympic gold, his record in grand slams against nadal is 11-7, I don’t say Rafa or roger is better, I say that he Is not the best of all time, one of the best
@@thememoryremains23 No player is perfect, and I acknowledge that the Olympics are a flaw in Djokovic's resume, just like how the ATP Finals, Paris Masters, Miami Masters, and Shanghai Masters are all missing from Nadal's trophy case. The Majors record you point out is due to more than half of their matches in majors being played on Clay. It is also important to not completely neglect the actual H2H, which is 30-29 Djokovic. Nadal is obviously the Clay Court GOAT, but Djokovic is the greatest Hard Court and the greatest Grass Court player of all time(yes he's better than Federer on grass). And then there's also all the usual records such as the Double Golden Masters, Most Masters titles, most ATP Ranking Points, Most Year End No. 1's, Most weeks at No. 1, Highest Peak ELO, Only person to win 4 slams in a row on three different surfaces(Nole Slam), Head to Heads, Most Big Titles, Highest 5 set win percentage among Grand Slam Winners, Most grand slam finals, Only player with 80 wins at every grand slam, only player to win 4 ATP Finals in a row, only player to beat Federer and Nadal at all 4 grand slams, longest winning streak to start a season, most masters won in one season etc. etc. The grand slam record is literally the only major record he doesn't have. I'm saying that once he breaks that record, It'll be almost impossible to find a meaningful line of statistical reasoning that goes against his GOAT case. For now Nadal may be the GOAT, but all I was saying is that once Djokovic has(or ties) the Slam record, there is no argument against his GOAT case.
Another great video. It's amazing how much bs in tennis is allowed. Thank you for exposing this nonsense. You are a voice of reason, a rarity in today's world.
@@goatkovic thanks for browning this to light. 2019 and 2022 was the worst thing my eyes hurt. It’s a fan thing not a performance. Novak is better and funnier so screw the espys. I see why us Novak fans are mad.
I dont understand how people can hate on Djokovic and say "all he cares about is money and trophies", like dude, DJOKOVIC GIVES AWAY HIS PRIZE MONEY, he is the BEST sportsman in the world, he GIVES AWAY tennis gear, he makes kids DREAMS come true, he has a whole FUNDATION that is DEDICATED to HELPING KIDS. The only reason people hate him because they are JEALOUS of a SERB being the best tennis player of all times and breaking all the records possible. AND not only that but those BRAINWASHED people, hate him for not getting vaxxed. Its his body, and he knows whats good and bad for him, and whats healthy and unhealthy for him and his body. People need to chill. Theres much more facts about this KIND ORTHODOX GOAT of a Serbian. Just go Nole! Idemo breeee!!!
This is the best analysis of the tennis situation I ever listened to! Exactly so it is! As so much else in our world - corupted and pathetic! Thank you for daring to say how it is!
This. The analysis in these videos is so amazing because it's really an analysis of the State-of-the-Globe thru the lens of Tennis. That quote of ESPeeN execs not trusting their peasant viewers to vote correctly - that is essentially the US's current s"election" cycle.
I am from switzerland and can confirm the fan population towards Roger and the hatred towards Djokovic 100%! When Djokovic wins a tournament, Roger fans always say the same thing, that ND will never be as popular as Roger! In addition, the media always put Djokovic in the negative picture, which is still sad after so many years and records!
It’s not cool man. He’s the only one if the big 3 id actually chill with. Hell him mad Nick make for a great time. I don’t see having fun with Nadal or Federer. Plus his stand on his body makes him the best.
In Poland, the media behave the same. All this is happening for a reason. Quite simply, Tony Godsick, paid by Federer, was to create Roger as above man, a divine maestro. And Djokovic as the opposite of Federer. Dehumanize. That's what black PR is for
I could have accepted a biased and unfair decision of granting Federer the trophy without deserving it. But not considering Djokovic and Medvedev on the 2022 is definitely bullshit. This is a disgrace. Its a good thing I never watched this absurd ESPY display before and never will.
They don’t even pretend to hide their hatred for Novak. So pathetic. Well, I have something to say to counter those Fed fangirls. “ I don’t care if Federer is perceived to be more loved than Novak. He will never be a better tennis player, nor have more big titles or exude the grace that Novak has. His persona is manufactured unlike Novak’s which is genuine” ESPN, you can go to hell!!!
This is just popularity contest on west, world is not just west. Even in popularity Djokovic rules the world if you count east on the planet. India fans, China fans etc, federer is not even close to Novak. They are just patetic
Federer won the 2019 ESPY Award for the 2018 season. He did win the 2018 Australian Open, but that is all. Nadal won the 2018 French Open, as well as 3 Masters 1000 events, and Novak won Wimbledon, the US Open and 2 Masters 1000 events, including Cincinnati, which made him the first man in history to complete the Golden Masters (winning all 9 masters). There is no doubt that Novak should have won the ESPY award in 2019. Rafa won the 2022 ESPY award for the 2021 season. Novak won three majors and made it to the final of the fourth major in 2021, and he also won 1 Masters 1000 event. Nadal did not win a single major in 2021. There is no doubt that Novak should have won the 2019 and 2022 ESPY awards.
What?! He won 2019 for 2018? 😂 The 2018 AO was in January. The espy awards take into account what you did from June 2018 to June 2019. You are why this video was made.
Excellent video! We need this much irony, not just the fans of Novak, but all normal and objective tennis fan. We need it to break that twisted, mainstream media imposed, bad and ugly narrative about Djokovic. Its becoming more and more absurd than it already is.
It’s baffling to me how Thiem wasn’t nominated in 2019. He was supposed to be the heir to the throne of the big 3 and he had gotten several wins against them, including one against Djokovic in the French Open, but Tsitsipas was nominated instead of him? Someone help me solve this riddle
You are my favourite tennis channel. Please 🙏 do a video on how great Novak Australia Open Grand Slam record is. He could have been on double digits by now if not for the So called Evil Media Establishment and the AO Government against him?!
Please keep the content coming!!! You are the only youtuber that I actually like, share and comment on every video to hopefully help you on the RU-vid algorithm and get you out there because you should have way more subscribers!
That shows how toxic and manipulative media can be when it is used for propagandistic goal. Difficult to imagine a champ being more successful, charismatic, brave, witty and caring than Nole
let’s put it this way , if Nole were to be world no. 1 with 6740 points like Outcaraz, with the points he accumulated in 38 masters 1000 and. 21 slams he’d be world no. 1 for 12 years (600 weeks ) without adding the lost slam finals( another 12000 points ) and all other tournaments 😅😅😅
I agreed with everything you say in the video, in the world we live in rewards are for popularity and favourites, not talent and kindness. It's so sad once you have realised the truth!!
@@VladaBB Човек објави клип о поређењу Роџерове и Новакове ере (трећи клип на овом каналу) и одмах након тога сви његови клипови имају 10 или чак 20 пута мање прегледа, независно од тога да ли су објављени пре 2 недеље или пре 6 месеци... Сумњиво у најмању руку.
Honestly, if I were in Federe's place, I would refuse the award, because such a champion does not need such awards. It hurts him, receiving such an undeserved award, he humiliates himself as a man and athlete.
The other thing to add, these awards are not meaningless because they affect the amount of income a person can earn in terms of endorsement deals, sponsorships, tv adverts etc. By getting an ESPY a person could vastly increase their income. So effectively by not nominating Novak they robbed him of millions in earnings. That's the REAL reason this matters. It keeps Fedal wealthy while denying other more deserving players of money they could have earned from becoming more well-known to the public. The greed of Fedal knows no bounds.
As a general rule for most players, what you say may well be so. However, we're talking about Nole here, and he's hardly short of a few quid, is he? And besides, how much money do you need in this world before admitting that enough is finally enough?
I’m the worlds biggest Federer fan, and each one of your videos are 100% correct. Federer fans are a trained stain on the sport, does matter how much you love Federer, Novak is clearly the goat, there’s no argument left. Go home Fed fans, go tf home
I agree with you (2019 trophy to Federer was ridiculously absurd), except when you claim that Fed and Nad faked a friendship outside of the court. I think that's too much.
✅ 1. Massively refreshing and continued sane, balanced analysis and reporting of Novak’s crystal-clear GOATness. 2. Novak catching mainstream media/sheep flak for exercising his personal freedom and common health sense by avoiding the QuackScene shows he was/is directly over the truth target. 3. The same dynamic applies to being completely ignored-when their strategy of attack & ridicule starts slipping, the next play is to cancel & ignore. 4. Bravo! 🏆
2017 and 2018 weren’t that bad; I suspect Federer won it in 2018 because Nadal had a cakewalk draw in the US Open and faked an injury to avoid Federer in the AO. But 2019 and 2022 were utterly pathetic
I have never heard of this award, but seeing it is American these results make sense. I think that the ITF Player of the year is a pretty objective award. Being done by calendar year definitely makes it better to start off with, and they are generally based on Slams, Ranking, Davis Cup, Masters, ATP Finals in decreasing order of importance. I think the Davis Cup is given too much weighting personally which does favour some players from certain Nations, but it doesn't often lead to too much controversy. 2013 and 2016 are the only seasons in the past decade that have been that controversial, the first due to the heavy Davis Cup weighting, and the 2nd due to heavy year end ranking weighting.
In years to come the history books with numbers in plain black and white will marvel future generations at the immense level of difficulty Djokovic's stats and records had reached. When Usain Bolt broke the 100m in WR time nobody ever remembers who came 2nd and 3rd. WHY ??? ..because in sport it's ALL and ONLY about winning.. 2nd or 2nd to last is equal
You forgot the MAIN reason why Felix was nominated - he's a Rafa Academy alumni!!He's part of Rafa's PR. It looks good for Rafa that one of his students gets nominated. It's all about feeding his HUMONGOUS ego. So don't be surprised if future ESPY's go to one of his academy students after his eventual retirement.
You mentioned that Novak isn't respected because he is Serbian. This response is the same that all Slavic people receive. For some reason Slavic people are the only group that is not protected from bigotry from individuals and the Media.
Hey Goatko, I have one question. If Federer and Nadal change genders and then have a lesbian marriage, will they go into the annals of tennis as the greatest male, female and mixed couple in history?
lmao the fact that idek there is an ESPY for best tennis player says how much this award really weighs. Laureus sportsman of the year is also pretty biased but slightly better
Fedal fans: I don't care if he holds all the records, he'll never be loved by Fedal fans Me: So, what you're saying is as Fedal fans you're well aware you're irrational
Bravo. HE COMES FROM WRONG COUNTRY. This is the real reason why media does not have any good words for him. Not all but good portion of them. And they can't be more jealous of his records which can't be falsified. The best player and human being. Hatred eats their souls. Let them be happy hating Novak. History wouldn't remember haters but Novak. So they have a moment to be angered but moment won't last long. This is reality. Everything else is a story for a good movie of how people can be horrible.
This is the exact reason why I do not care for ranks or awards, people vote for who they like and fans blindly support their idols. I have my own ranks and no need for any lists to tell me what is "hot", "good" or "excellent" Would not call popularity voting toxic per se, as long as they shower their idol with "love" but if they maliciously slander and or act with negative intent to discredit or even harm rivals of their idol that is toxic. Sadly the number or fans (fanatics) who do so is growing exponentially, they are fighting with each other and constantly talk with poisoned tongues trying to infect others with their negativity, just sad and pitiful. Liking someone or something doesn't equal hating on the other options available.
I have bad news for FEDAL fans - Djokovic does not have to be perfect in every aspect of the game, but he is closer to perfection than the other two. I would say Novak is a shade better than Roger on hard courts and grass ( although his fans may disagree), and Novak is better on clay not only because he won more titles than Roger, but because he was able to sometimes stop Nadal, Roger was never able to do so, before every match between him and Nadal on clay, RF was already a victim.In comparison with Novak, Rafa is better only on clay.
Let's not forget the other important point about Djokovic - he's a devout Christian, I think the only top level tennis player who is. We are living in an era of virulent contempt for Christians. Let's face it, tennis is a sport followed mostly by wealthy white secular people.
Indeed, i I was shocked, they gave it to a F1 driver compared to Novak who was close to accomplishing the CYGS, not done in ages. Their hatred, jealousy and contempt was so blatant.
I don’t watch ESPYS since 2008 or 2009 when Brett Favre won the last play of the year come back by beating the 49ers! This show is bad sometimes! No wonder they’re keep changing the host even John Cena to Manning!
Snubbing Novak as always. Shame on tennis awards and the people who are woke. Novak is the real player of the year and you see now why Novak fans are pissed. Got the right to talk crap about Nadal and Federer fans.
The Stefan Edberg award is even more useless. The ATP comes up with a list of players that the players get to vote for. Since 2005, Novak has been nominated just once (in 2011). That just ONCE in 15 years of Novak’s career while he was ranked among the top 3 players in the World. Federer fans use the Edberg award as proof that among players, Federer is the most “loved”, but they forget that Novak could have only been considered once, way back in 2011.
Roger won the AO 2017 beeing 35 years old after out long time from injury beeing seeded 17 playing 2 5 setters on route vs stan and nishikori only to top it all off in a epic 5 setter in the Final vs Nadal. having vastly improoved his backhand. not exactly the smallest of accomplishments in my opinion. certainly debatable but I'm not calling this decision stupid. Roger went on to win wimbledon in 2017 without dropping a set. he certainly didnt look bad going into that summer.
first of all roger beat nadal all four times they played in 2017. this guy is so jealous . It is true that Novak will never be as loved . he is a crazy anti vaxer . he breaks his racquet , screams like a banshee when he wins and screams at his box. Rafa and Roger do none of these things. And they don't beg the crowd for applause. Novak never wins the sportsmanship award which is voted by his peers . He never wins the fan favorite because he is not loved the way Roger and Rafa . Novak is a geat champion but he lacks class. Sorry dude the truth hurts
Look i like ur videos but you keep messing up the stats about grandslams and masters. Its frustrating. Happened once, fine but basically every single video?
I know exactly what you're talking about in this video, but I didn't mess up. You didn't pay attention. When it comes to other videos, what did I mess up?
