Roger fan here. No one has the mental strength and game focus as tough, solid and rock as of Novak's. What is even more remarkable is his ability to REMOVE all noises from the society, politics, cheering & rooting for opponents and focus ONLY on the game. The BIGGEST enemy you need to fight is with YOU & SILENCE is the MOST powerful weapon!! That being said, I wont be surprised if he wins slams even in his 40s.

As much as I adore Nadal, I admire Nole's absolute steel mental resilience.
He has not received half the love which Rafa and Roger have received but still he competes and managed to beat them in many great games. Huge respect for him, probably the most harshly treated sportsperson of all time.

As a big Federer fan and still upset over that 2019 final, the utmost credit has to be given to Djokovic's mental fortitude in order to save 2 match points and win that match. His resilience leaves me speechless sometimes. Thanks for making this video!

Love Novak’s reserve and decorum as well. What a great strategy to imagine the crowd was chanting Novak instead of his opponent 👏🏻. Novak has always been my favourite especially when he answered our Australian Government in the best possible 💪😂

He has to be the mentally strongest sportsperson of all time. Tennis is a lonely sport and he has bounced back and won so many times against all odds. Kudos to him for that. He will certainly go down as the greatest Tennis player to have ever lived until the day he retires (whether people like it or not).

Nice video, thank you!
Instead of hating on Novak, people should be studying him as a special human being and athlete with tremendous mental strength.
I do understand he was the big killjoy for all the tennis fans, but it could have been anyone else and he never deserved the harsh treatment he got, but I guess that just made him the beast he is today, so, lots of his haters are directly responsible for his success.

Do you know the history, circomstances and records of Rod Laver ?. And with more concurrence. There was Big Ten players all of them first class. Rod Laver was forbidden as every Profesionals to play the Grand Slams from 1962 until 1969. In 1963 he went to profesionnals because then the GS had nó money prize, and he and the bests had to earn their lives from tennis. This absurd was abolished in 1968 opening the tournaments to all the players, hence their name OPEN.
LAVER won in 1962 all the 4 GS and once OPEN...in 1969 all the 4 GS again. In 1967 he had won also all the 4 GS Pro for profesionals, where all the best players played. 2+1 Calendar GS. Djoko has got none. Laver has won 184 tournaments and Djoko...94. ¿ How many GS, in adition to his 11 official, would have Laver won between 1962-69, if he was allowed to play them, all this years that he was number 1 ? ¿ 30 ? ¿ more ?. But he is humble, not like Djoko. Tennis history is 150 years old and unknown. People today only talk about the Big Three.
