He's horrible. He's got a terrible attitude. He's not applauding but mocking. Here what he said in interview b4 he got crushed in his prime by Stan the Man Roland G... He's always been a punk that's why no one 'really' likes him. And he knows it.
interesting cause Nadal struggled a lot on faster hard courts, and grass early in his career. His game was just not suited to them. He did an amazing job of adapting his playstyle though over the years.
Djokovic was tiny and adorable. It’s like they picked him out and said you’re going to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time and he was like “Ok, it’s my duty!” 😂
Just because a player likes a surface doesn't necessarily equate to them having more success on it. He just happened to have the right mentality to face adversity on clay. You'll still hear him admit to preferring faster surfaces.
It’s always so interesting to see players at a young age because all their strokes and unique tendencies are still with them today, they’re just more refined.
I noticed that too! Tennis strokes are just so individualistic and instinctive; it can be tuned and refined but for every person it’s just how they naturally hit the ball.
I saw a documentary about Djokovic. His family basically sacrificed everything for him, including his siblings. All their extra money went to paying for his tennis and they were not a wealthy family. The other kids had to basically give up their sports dreams for him because the family knew how good he could be even at a young age. None of them hold any resentment towards him and love that he became the tennis start that he is. It's pretty remarkable. He also recognized early on how much they put into his tennis and he felt the pressure of becoming a pro tennis player so all his families sacrifices would pay off.
This indeed unreal! He also has a lot consecutive weeks as nr 1 too, I guess. I don't know how many though... in the past was there any other one with similar record? Maybe Jimmy Connors?
@@christopherwellman2364 Federer has the record of consecutive weeks as Mr. 1 which is 237 weeks. Djokovic has spent the most weeks as world nr. 1: 373 weeks. Source: Wikipedia.
Omg that coach with tiny Novak is the cutest thing I've ever seen!!! "Bravo Nole! Look what Nole's doing!" even when he hit it almost straight into the court. That man is a patron saint of little kid athletes in my eyes :)
Rafa: I prefer indoor and grass than clay. (Becomes clay legend) Novak: I like forehands the most (Becomes the player with arguably the best backhand ever) The Creator has a funny sense of humor.
Rafa was a child prodigy. Excellent at tennis & football. 2:34 You see the moment he thought about slamming down his racket, but thought to himself "No, Toni will kill me!" Roger, on the other hand just went ahead & did it! He had a BAD temper!
LOL Yes, it seems that way! But notice he never let the rackets hit the court! I know he was just frustrated with himself. Over time, age, and, especially, experience, he became satisfied with himself.
I saw an interview a long time ago with Roger's mum and she said she had told him that she would not come and watch his matches any more if he continued to be bad tempered and behave badly on court. He obviously listened.
Baby 🐐 was so cute incredible at such a young age. Him clapping for opponent and his intellect when he's just 7, the answers my gawd! For him playing was a duty and he wanted to be no.1 which he manifested so well with 386 week record. GOAT mentality right there from the childhood. Nole the 🐐👑❤
djokovic attitude as a kid is still the same as now for him it was all about defeating his opponents and becoming number 1, same for nadal just humble and always promising to do his best no chest thumping i think we dont always turn out different from our young selves only the environment and relationships change but the egos, attitude and goals still remain the same
Interesting how Nadal, Djokovic and Thiem clearly changed their forehand technique (from a loop technique which breaks the plane) to a modern abbreviated technique between ages 14 and 17.
Acompanho desde guri com meus filhos que jogavam tênis e ele era o ídolo. Uma benção ter vivido na mesma época deste fenômeno que acompanho até hoje. Parabéns futuro papai
Rafa looks like the shy kid whos super smart and athletic but doesn’t talk to anyone, nole looks like the super athletic arrogant guy who says ‘dog’ and ‘dude’, and federer looks like a studious man who doesn’t like doing a lot of hard work 😂. Now, they’re simply known as ‘the big three’
Loved your collection. It is so refreshing to see young great guns. Rafa was always humble and true in making a statement. Nole was so adorable. Federer had superb class even at a young age. Keep posting such videos. Subscribing to your channel. Regards
It is all about the personal evolution of these tennis talents. Expectations vs realty, prefences vs aversion, personality vs media. All these three young men became charismatic, succesfull champions and idols. And just because they had the strength to change their mind or face their aversion. Very inspiring and empowering.
Fantastic video. I played/trained Pete Sampras, Mary Pierce, Alberto Berasategui and Alexandr Dolgopolov when they were kids. All I said was, “Great, . . Sorry. . Nice shot. . Sorry.”
