Some balls on this Novak! Beating Andy at his favorite tournament with his home crowd…he knew he was rubbing salt in the wound and he didn’t care. Legend
It's interesting - Roddick tells something bad about Djokovic, it's ok. When Djokovic answers, crowds are booming - my fellows Americans, who is wrong here ?
Exactly, never understood why they always hate on Djokovic🤦♂️, even Nadal go out of his way to take shot at Djokovic everytime he get a chance. Honestly, I think Jealousy is part of it
Anglo-Saxon elitism and the hierarchy of whiteness. They want to keep Eastern Europeans under their thumb to keep the perception they’re “less than” their western counterparts.
He has matured alot. But gosh he was such a Jokiebitch back then. Roddick was hillarious about Novaks injuries. Everyone knows he is a jokester and the funny guy back then. Novak just got butt hurt and has no personality to speak of. I like him now ok, but man what a puss.
@@leandrolapa8461 LOL.. hurt about what? That Novak lost to Fed the next game.. 13 years ago? I couldn't give two hoots The term 'nothing has changed'.. is a generalisation.. so pretending it was meant literally is just pathetic By the way.. You state facts not 'talk' them. What you talk is a load of crap
@@leandrolapa8461 Even #1 have to lose here & there sometime, no big deeeal. 😄 LOL on "current" no.1 thingy! 😆 It sucks to live in present mate, but i feel ur pain. Nice try thou 😁😁😁
And yet NONE of what you typed changes the fact that the comment is 100% true, since he's been doing it his entire career in big matches and is infamous for it. "Bravo"👋🙃 @@dusancorlija9088
nowadays, throughtout Djokovic's career, he keeps being treated like the bad guy. look at australian open 2023. many medias wrote about novak faking his injury in the leg, when the injury was real.
@@eyeofhorus1301 definitely not, its such a joke what you're saying. He changed his playstyle completely by being way more offensive, with more power into the shots. He avoided the defense rallies it was like this with dimitrov, couacoaud... then again, its a small injury, that he actually got to manage at the end, and felt more confortable with, when facing tsitsipas for example.
@@eyeofhorus1301 why would he lie anyway ? he always destroys his opponents without injury when he plays the australian open anyway ? faking an injury does change anything! than means he would lose a point, that he would have won without the fake injury. whats the point ? there is none. i can agree that faking injury WHEN YOU RE LOSING can be a effective strategy, but that's not the case here.
The haters will always hate but I must say those who love Novak will always stand by him till the day he dies the man has honour & integrity.. his opinions can't be bought & his heart is always honest.. respect from Macedonia Novak Djokovic ❤️🙏
Little did Rodick know he had a GOAT to deal with - lesson learned! Anyhow, Rodick has become a great commentator, often showing a lot of respect for No1e and his achievements.
It's amazing how much Djokovic has improved his serve. When he started to hit his peak, his motion became more compact and his post-serve recovery after the landing is so much less impactful, giving him more time to react to the opponent's return of his serve.
@@geoousp after his elbow injury, also with Ivanisevic in his team, his serve has improved alot. Its not as fast as it used to be, but precision and percentage.
@@gselita Yes but i talk abt his early years so Ivanisevic has nothing to do with i'm pointing at. He had already changed racket sponsor and service motion alot earlier.
All that hate has helped Novak so much to become the greatest tennis player of all time. I hope the crowd will continue to throw hate his way, at least for 3 or 4 more Grand Slams.
Hate against Novak? All the top players knew Novak was the type of player that would you the time-out injury to break the opponent's concentration or regain his concentration. I don't think that's a made-up story but a fact. That's why they used to call him Chokovic. Also, his dad and ppl in his box used to try to bother the opponent in tough matches.... don't believe me? Ask Federer. He was a dirty kind of player. He is better now, however, he will most likely always go back to his old self when things are against him. Right now his dominance is unquestionable so he is not getting pushed. He has Rafa's number especially the mental part. Rafa was a friend with good intentions and Novak used his dirty tricks against him... that pissed Rafa off and since then Rafa hasn't been able to get the better of Novak, consistently.
You see, that’s the difference between all the others and Djokovic. They try to impress public by making fun of him, by talking silly and mostly untrue stuff about him… And then there’s him, wolf guy. He doesn’t need any words to say anything. He said it all on court. He doesn’t have a competition. Keep trying all of you, keep trying. The more you do , he’s getting better. You feed him.
Me too. I already lov Novak before he was nobody in 2011. He only won 2 GS, he didn't win Wimbledon yet & still No.3. but I was sure he would do more & become something big. After 1 decade now I'm so proud of what I believed. He might never become favorit at crowds & mass media but he's been breaking so many records in 1 last decade & even become one of greatest player in history. He's so amazing
@@professionalbandit3118 i have written that Noel already won 2 GS. I said nobody because along 2007-2010 many mass media only lov to publish Rafa & Roger. They started takk about Nole after win wimbledon 2011 & continued to win USO 2011 & AO 2012. Yes I know mass media only lov to publish big succes The same case with adele. Although she won 2 grammy 2019 & sold almost 5 million albums but still no mass madia talk about her. They started to publish her since he big winning grammy 2012, hav 2 No.1 hits around the world & mega succesful album (21). Angleina jolie also got big published since succesful movie Tom Raider (2000). The fact is she already won academy award 1999 but No mass media talk about her
@@akapela2343 ok in short you meant he was nobody in front of federer and nadal. Yes that is right. I don't know who adele and angelina jolie are. I neither listen to english songs nor watch english films.
Djokovic is the most honest and interesting tennis player on the scene today. The other top 5 are good but have a fraction of the humour and personality. and he would never say what Roddick say about an opponent before a match in front of a home crowd.
@@gregm55mullen62 If that's what you think that's what you think ,but i view him and his considered behaviours ,actions and views pretty much abominable .
I like Andy very much people respect him a lot he got an amazing serve but he is nothing to Djokovic. I am Big Fan of Djokovic I know even many of my friends don't like him. He is a warrior in the tennis court he is talented and very smart. He has beaten everybody. I know he has a good heart and has given Serbia his country so much because of tennis. Its Nole against the world but not the universe but he stood his ground and always victorious. Be steadfast and solid Nole. We are totally behind you supporting you and will cheer for you always.
Andy is cool guy!!great tennis player and when blood cooled down he admitted he was wrong about Novak !! today it is one of the most objective when it comes to tennis analysis
@@steinanderson9849 donates millions to good causes around the world, funds schools to be built for kids in poor regions, ambassador to the sport and idolized by most of the players and millions of fans....what a prick, eh?
Novak, you are the purest and hardest diamond,who never calculates. Power of positive thinking of your fans wins. Crowd, give up, you have no chance against us ! 🐐🎾🤴❤️
And this commentator at the end of the match when Novak started to celebrate. So biased. It's disgusting. Novak has been the target for them ever since he started to win.
LOL! Novak is a target because he sets himself up to be mocked time and time again. He didn't need to antagonize the US Open crowd after beating Roddick - but he did because he was butt hurt that they were rooting against him. Roddick was playing before a home crowd so of course they were rooting for him over Novak. Novak had endeared himself to the NY crowd with his funny player impressions - and then shat on all the goodwill by being petulant in the on-court interview after the Roddick match. He didn't need to hit the ball in anger and accidentally hit a lineswoman at the 2020 US Open - but he did and it wasn't the first time he let his temper get out of control and then duck publicly taking responsibility for his actions. He didn't need to retire from 16 matches throughout his career with silly injuries everyone else plays with every damned day - but he did/does (See: Dubai 2016 (after losing the 1st set!) with that stupid "I got dust in my contact lens" nonsense. On another note - Roger took a damned bagel in the 3rd set at Wimbledon this year when he reinjured his knee rather than retire and deny Hurkacz the win. In 2016 he reinjured his knee and played out the 5th set against Raonic - and said not one word about his knee as an excuse). Novak didn't need to do the Adria tour and that turned into a COVID shite show with his father blaming Dimitrov for giving everyone COVID and then Dimitrov had to come out and say, no, he didn't have COVID when he got to the event and stop trying to blame others for Novak's screw ups. Novak doesn't need to try to reinvent the wheel with a players union that's a stupid ass idea - but he is doing it because he wants to leave a legacy in tennis so badly that he can't see the forest for the Roger & Rafa shaped trees. I could go on and on. I actually like Djokovic, but I freely admit that for the average non-Serbian fan he's not an easy guy to like - or root for. He tries too hard to be liked and stand out from Roger and Rafa. The three are tied together for eternity no matter if Novak passes the other two or not or if he wins a grand slam in a year when he literally has no competition. Kyrgios is a dumb ass but he got one thing right about Novak - he wants to be Roger, ie, the guy everybody loves, effortlessly cool and charming and the one fans love best. I feel bad for Novak, but at the same time, he continually shoots himself in the foot when said foot isn't stuck in his mouth.
@@jollymolly2521 guys, this is what I am talking about. Now, when all records belong to Novak, Federer fans are getting so crazy and attcking. Let we like Jolly's comment and help Jolly to feel better about Roger losing all of his records and matches to Novak.
@@jollymolly2521 We cannot be sure whether he is loved only by Serbian or not because he has many fans in Asia, which has many people. How can you say he has no competition this year, he beat Rafa at RG. Rafa came to the tournament very confident after he had defeated Novak, Sasha, Stephanos at Rome, Barcalona. He performed well in the semifinal. He was exhausted in the fourth set because Novak took his time away, forced him to move around to hit his forehand. Novak is just a year younger than Rafa, Rafa chose the physical type of game so he gets injures more. In terms of the Wimbledon this year, I agree that he didn't face much challenges. However, you should remember Federer and Nadal have won more GS without having face anyone in the Big Three than Novak. Again this is my opinion, feel free to disagree or argue. Hope you have fun enjoying tennis in the upcoming years :)
@@jollymolly2521 what a stupid comment to say that Novak is not liked well. He is hated only by toxic fedal fans & by some tennis fans in US & Western Europe. The world is bigger than that. Novak has millions of fans in Asia.
i think he realized his mistake after his retirement. he has genuine admiration for novak now but you know he does'nt have any other choice because what djokovic has done in his career compared to roddick and also what roddick did to djokovic. if roddick wo'nt speak good of djokovic then those previous controversies will flare up once again.
Roddick was absolutely being a bully here and totally out of nowhere and uncalled for. Especially being an older and more mature player on tour, picking on a new guy coming up was really a bad look for him. Medias protected him tho lol
Nole on the other hand is always supportive of all young players he plays against, taking extra time to embrace them and is sympathetic of their injuries. I can see that’s because of his past where he hardly had any support or sympathy from top older players
@@steinanderson9849 How do you disrespect an opponent by retiring? Instead you’re telling him he’s too good if anything. As for medical timeouts, he did have an undiagnosed medical problem. He has celiac disease.
He had every right to snub Roddick over the net without shaking hands. But the gentleman he is, we all know Djokovic embraces his opponent even if he loses a match
Djoker =Not even goat,we need a word that describes Serbian Wolf…Actually that’s the right word for this lovely extraordinary human being=SERBIAN WOLF🤷🏻♂️🇷🇸❤️💪🏻☦️Have a good night good people…
Novak did have serous health problems at the time due to a wrong diet, and everyone who suffers or was suffering from it knows how debilitating that is. Celiac or Gluten IS a serious problem for some and it's not just that one has breathing problems but joint pains, even temperature
and also those problems disturbed his recovery period. not only novak was getting injured a lot more but even after completing matches, he was not able to recover well for upcoming ones.
He had an intolerance to something that he didnt know about for quite a while, you just have to see the timeline after he knew about it and ajusted things changed. In fact Rafa seems to be injured way more and no one bats an eye, i am by no means implying that he fakes or anything i dont think anyone does that, just pointing out the double standard
@@nervio2701 no athlete especially the top level champions we discuss fake injuries. i mean, what will they get by doing that. novak has saved match points ridiculous amount of times so do'nt see the reason of him faking injury when he has belief to turn around things at last point of match as well.
If they'll ever let Novak play in tournaments again. What a shame he is being cheated of so many wins because he is healthy & knows better than get the "shot".
That thing in the locker room with Roddick approaching Djokovic like that never happened. Andy just made it up. He was a sensationalist as a player and loved controversy. They squashed the beef and are on good terms today.
@@ExtremelySkilledGamer Same as Roddick's that it did happen. Novak said in a post match interview that there was no such incident when the journalists asked him about Andy's claim.
Roddick still pretended that Novak and his physio guy were trying to do something bad or hurt him. Roddick is still a stupid snowflake idiot. Novak doesn’t like him but he lied that Novak was later “cool” with him. Tennis hater Roddick is just looking for attention & money. The greedy Fed fanboy confessed that he begged for money since he was a kid.
I think the US crowd realised that this year 😁 For the first time ever in his favor and suddenly he chokes GS 21 and all 4 slams in a year. Coincidence?
Not exactly. At the time, they both only had 1 slam, so while Roddick was definitely more harsh than others, it was the honest truth at the time. Now if he said this at any other time after 2011, your statement would be spot on for sure.
Bless Djokovic. His Tennis style is like watching a computer game work out variables. Impressive feat/very dull to watch. Yet his mental strength is unbelievable. That's what is gonna get him the records. Hes a fighter. Got to hand it to him, very resilient individual. Peace and Love.
Dull? You're clearly brainwashed by Western MSM...in all honesty I found Fedal matches somewhat boring as Nadal mostly got the better of Fed but when those two played Djoko, they produced so many exciting, dramatic, riveting matches. Earlier Djoko was also more of a shot maker as well...such an exciting and complete player and if he wins USO 2021 should be crowned official GOAT, period.
@@robertstar7463 Thanks for your reply Robert. If you believe Federer has a boring style of play thats your opinion. The history, applause and longetivity of his beauty doesn't really back it up though. LIke wise Fedal being boring. WIm 08 is regarded by most as the greatest match ever. Federer's game elevates any match he plays for me. Djokovic has insane matches when he plays those two. But take away Stan Wawrinka and not many of his other matches stand out as works of art. They are incredibly impressive. But the robotic repetitive defensive style doesn't really get the heart racing in his early rounds. He was more aggressive once. But no longer. Outlasting players is his style. Why change something that works so well. I cant blame him. Yet when there is no natural aggressor in a tennis match it can for me become dull. LIke him and Murray at the Australian. Federer always spices up a match with his selection of shot. I have been watching tennis all my life. Got to be honest with you writing a four letter word about an animal that eats grass on a hill top, has diminished your post. Everyone on social media uses that term and it makes it almost impossible to discern anyones individual comments or views. When Sampras broke the records he wasn't automatically seen as the greatest player. Many considered Emerson, Borg, Mac etc. What social media has done like with so much else. Has simplified the argument. By posting goat over and over again. Its kind of mind numbing. Lets talk tennis and use our brains. In boxing the greatest has been debated for decades. It does not automatically go to the guy with the best records. Djokovic will get the records and he deserves them. I will be the first to congratulate him. But Federer captures the soul. The soul for me trumps records. That and style of play. Also Federer is beloved in every corner of the world. So Western media bias point is not valid. Hes adored all round the world. Have a nice evening and take it easy. Peace and Love.
@@ben86jones82 actually, djokovic plays according to his opponents, that's the winning method. Federer has the most offensive method. Nadal is an ox of a man. Federer comes from the Sampras era when serve and volley were prevalent. Federer idolised Sampras and adopted his gamestyle of finishing points at the net. Nadal brought topspin. Talking about Djokovic, he has adopted a take no prisoner style of play, he conserves his energy when not required, he plays as per his opponent. His most entertaining matches have mostly come from his big 3 rivalries. I think the reason behind his game style is that he had to play nadal and federer, so to overtake them he had to keep winning otherwise he would never emerge on the top since they were better players than him. So it was basically survival for him, he loses a match he remains forgotten and at the bottom. Fedal never had to battle against players better than them, they were more skilled than others so they could do with their own styles, djokovic had to adopt such a style since he needed to win.
@@rishabhgulati9804 Evening. Good comment. I agree that Djokovic had to create a style that would give him consistent success against those two. He has a perfect game with regards to being unplayable. Its just not the same when he goes up against other players. You wont get people as enthralled watching his early rounds in slams. Thats not his fault. I have undoubted respect for the man specifically his mental strength. Which is his greatest asset. Federer can turn any match into a show. Being entertained is for many the point of sport. When Djokovic wins the most slams he will have his day in the sun. Winning all four in a row and moving to 21 who could deny him the greatest status. However When you consider how Federer got to 15. That epic against Roddick that no one saw coming in 09. The match he had against Sampras in 2001. Both matches against Safin. The victory in 04 and defeat in 05. The matches against Nadal and Djokovic. Those 5 setters in the Australia in 2020 against two lower ranked players. Look at the magnitude of his defeats. The US open semis to Novak. That 2019 final against Novak. Aus 09 Nadal Wim 08 Nadal. Being dethroned. They are just spellbinding tennis matches again and again and again. Going to 5 so often. His comeback 5 year wait slam against Nadal in Australia. when he was 3-1 down in the fifth. Federer is shakespear. I am not saying Djokovic has not had his moment but still. Finally i get what your saying about Fedal being able to play there own game. But the reverse is also true. They have had to deal with Djokovic hounding them down and taking over. Federer has had to deal with them both and Nadal was a nemesis from 05. Djokovic from 07 was a threat, 08 he best him in Australia. Hes 5 years older. Nadals french wins sowed in the doubt against the younger man. Djokovics two Us open semis sowed in the doubt against the younger man. LIke the law of the jungle with the ageing Lion. Djokovic does not have/has never had that pressure. He does not have to adapt his game to anyone as no one is putting pressure on him at all. No ones come along to become his nemisis. Wawrinka did slightly but then vanished. Djokovic has only had to deal with whats in front of him not behind. This is an advantage in the later years. There is not one grand slam champion left in this years US open. Thanks for your reply. Peace and Love.
@@ben86jones82 So what your saying is that nadal, fed, murray (whom you left out completely but somehow had wawrinka who never even was world number one), wawrinka, theim (now a slam winner), medvedev, zverez, tsitsi are all not nemises to nole?.... Nole had to deal with all those players and still won the amount of slams he did. As soon as novak arrived on the scene he had to deal with people who already had a lot of slams and were pretty close to his age already. Where as fed didn't have to deal with murray, nadal (more adapted nadal), and nole. Not to mention that both nadal and nole have defeated more higher ranked players for their slams compared to fed. Novak had to beat both fed/nadal for one of his slams if I'm not mistaken.... It goes both ways if fed had to deal with nole/rafa well then both nole and rafa also had to deal with fed as well and each other. The big 3 were nemesis of each other and with a sprinkle of murray/wawrinka. That's how I see it at least. Now nole has to deal with thiem, tsitsipas, zverev, medvedez. And don't forget now at least zverev has a gold medal something neither nole/fed have. Some consider a gold medal almost like a slam. And theim already has a slam.
@@JackSmith-xt7fj I think djokovic's allergic issues are pretty well documented at the time when roddick played him and secondly what has roddick achieved in front of the greatest of all time. Just a single grand slam and reached 5 grand slams finals and 8 masters 1000

@@dejannajdanovic976 Yes there is both happened in 2017 when Djokovic was badly injured and his worst season ever. Even less good player than a Kyrgios clow beat him that season due the injury...
Well, Djokovic told everyone off with his game and personality…when everyone caved in and took vaccine, he said NO! Even if that ruined his carrier. Great respect for this man!
people forget that djokovic literally had nose surgery and other health issues going on early in his career. he did retire a lot but ever since he became the 2011 "gluten free" djokovic, he's not really done it since.
i'm a Serbian living in NYC almost 15y... US open was always fun time for me... love football crowd,so i go, get pleasantly drunk, they hate , i call them out, they back down, Novak usually wins, if he doesn't we win anyway! 🤣
When we read about tennis history, no one will mention the prejudice crowds or the lesser winging players of their time. Only the champions will be there....🍾
djokovic has come a long way from being a probable top 10 player/one slam wonder to most weeks at world no. 1 and the guy who is gonna end up with most slams.
This will haunt Roddick the most for the rest of his life as it has already been since that verbal diarrhoea against Nole. May he remain suffer with that memory forever.
Mr Djokovic has never said anything bad about all his challengers bios he has a lot of love and at the end of the day it is just a game and when you accept victory you have to accept defeat and work harder on winning next time but when they are consumed with anger and insult looking is always their victory
Magical tennis from the greatest Player ever Novak DJOKOVIC vs disrespectful USO crowd. Novak showed there the best tennis skills and deserved the win. Wimbledon crowd and USO crowd are the same:DISRESPECTFUL and horrible.
Nole used to have a lot of breathing problems and such stuff, plus other injuries, until he realised it was due to food intolerances. Once he quit dairy, gluten and processed sugar, then meat, he never retired again. People can believe what they want, but I was in such position, I had to quit all of the above, besides meat, and it improved my life in a huge manner. I guess you have to go through it to understand it.
As a Serb i love America. But Roddick... he didnt change my mind i still love america. I know theres many americans out there who love serbia and my heart goes out to those who do.
disgusting the hunchback Rodrick makes fun of a player who actually had ASTHMA & RESPIRATORY ISSUES! disgusting evil people! Rodrick, the media, and their toxic fans. Look at NOVAK and how he overcome their hate! Novak is an amazing human being with a life that actually inspires!
Wow how many matches are that we don't know about that have interesting stories. I don't think djokovic was faking them but he was using unconvential means during the match regarding medical time outs early in his career.
OH YES, I was waiting for someone to do a video on this! Also, there are numerous parallels in big tennis matches: -Djokovic vs Nadal at the AO 2012, RG 2013 and Wimbledon 2018, where the loser was a break up/had numerous break points in the 5th set, -Djokovic vs Nadal at the US Open 2013 and RG 2021, where the winner also won a monumental third set -Federer vs Roddick at Wimbledon 2009 and Federer vs Djokovic at Wimbledon 2019, where the better player for most of the match hit the ball off his frame on match point in a titanic 5th set, etc etc.
Not only the crowd was bad but the commentator was truly a clown. On Djokovic's last winning point, he said: "Djokovic touches his heart, I'm not sure about that". Such a bitter man.
US tennis crowds are the worst. I’m not even a Djokovic fan but Roddick probably just wanted the crowd against Novak cause he knew he needed all the help he could get. I hate how tennis players have to walk on egg shells during the US open and make sure they tell the crowd how great they are even though they suck
The funniest part is, Roddick had 11 retirements in his career, Djokovic had 10 at the time when Roddick called him out.Of course, Djokovic had deviated septum that caused breathing problems, and is glucose intolerant, but that was his, and only his problem, I do not see why other tennis players are personally offended by it.
