Yep. Not a fan of Djocovic but I can't denied that he is the only champion who always give credit to all the players who bit him and never heard him criticized players and witnessed Federer and Nadal being cocky when they loose the game specially from low ranking players

[jacquelineotto]

The bottom line was, Rafa and Rogers were not expecting Nova to be the kind of player he is today.

[branislavlukic]

You forgot to mention, when Federer had more grand slam titles, and there was a goat conversation, he said that gs titles matter the most. Now when Djokovic has more, he changed his narrative, it's not about the numbers. Yet Djokovic won more, with a better percentage, and has a better head to head score.

like him or not djokovic was biggest threat to fed in terms of finals

[duncan]

Djokovic is super wholesome in the handshakes lmao, felt kind of bad for him in his early years when someone who he clearly respects didn’t like him

[NamelessKing]

Novak mental strength is incredible. Every final the crowd and press is against him but he keeps adding more Grand Slams. He just tied Nadal and seeing both condition at the moment, I'm positive Djokovic will end up with more.

Novak became more humble by winning. Federer became more humble by losing.

I feel like Roger's always been the slightly prideful big brother of the big 3, and rafa was the timid and shy little brother who never wants to take up the big brother's spot light, but Novak is the more unruly little brother who's ambitious and quirky and has full intention on taking big bros crown one day. So Roger was always a bit more competitive with novak as they're both alpha personality so they're bound to clash sometimes. Rafa is fire on the court but water off it, very laid back personality which is why he's on good terms with both Roger and Novak.

People are also forgetting that Novak has celiac disease, but earlier in his career he didn't know so he was technically immunocompromised. That's why he was retiring a lot. In 2011 he changed his diet and the rest is history.
Edit: omfg i now know that celiac disease and gluten intolerance are very different please stop responding with that!!

[Jordothecat]

Federer has built up such a cult of personality for being “classy” that the numerous salty things he has said especially to Novak in his career are never mentioned lol

[prash]

The amount of damage the social media has done to the image of Novak is second to none, they left no stones unturned to tarnish his image, they are still doing it and simultaneously making both Nadal and Federer the good guys of the sports, I guess the perks of born in a wealthy developed nation, the good guys who never questioned the corruption in ATP, the good guys who never cared about the tennis players from lower circuit, the good guys with etiquette on how to behave in front of people, what to say diplomatically that doesn't give a a wrong impression, basically faking one's personality, the good guys who always made sure how to be politically correct all the time. These traits earned them a lot of respect. The one who questioned the authority got hate, got singled out, made a political scapegoat, treated like a villain or prisoner. PS: This world has lost its virtue and corruption is on another level viz. Socially, Economically and Politically.

I think Federer did not anticipate that Novak will grow so big and dominate him. It is a question of tolerance. So, in the beginning, Federer vent out his frustration on Novak. But later he settled down when he realized that he cannot avoid Novak as the dominant force in tennis.

[pepton]

People were always laughing at Djokovic when he retired matches and calling him out that he was faking it. Fast forward to today, he is the guy who is in the best shape with no chronic injuries that might cut his career short. He is on a good track to have the longest career out of the big three and maybe retiring when he had risks for serious injuries paid off afterall.

[vladmark]

Sure, Djokovic against all odds, against 90% of fans on the stands, against press and big tennis names and “gurus”. Would love to see how other guys’ careers would look like under these circumstances. Whatever the feelings, what Novak has done is an amazing sport achievement that makes him one of the mentally strongest athlets forever in sports. That is the only important legacy, not who Roger or others love or hate.

[nikolaveljkovic]

Im from Serbia, and i can say that the best 3 best players in the world, Rafa, Nole, Roger are very humble people and all of them are the perfect idols for young players, i also beleve that all the little dirty words are normal part of every sport, what is important is that in the end of the day they all respect each other

[FaHoLoo]

Finally someone making honest video about their relationship. Federer was always butthurt in the past when he started losing to Djokovic and you could easily tell (unless you were Djokovic hater) that he was not liking him.

[riccardo]

In 2010, Roger had 16 grand slams while Novak had only one, this definitely affected the level of respect between them. When Djokovic started winning more slams, Federer knew he was the real deal.

Federer+NovaK+Nadal together clinched 67 Grandslams in total. What an era for Tennis? I don't think there will ever be another time like this again.
I feel I'm so lucky to watch all 3 of them. I'm a fan of the 3 legends

[zaz]

I'm not a Djokovic fan, but your video is spot on. I have always appreciated many things about Djokovic though, he never left any stone unturned in his pursuit for greatness and has always been a gracious loser no matter what else. I do wish others had understood his health issues in the beginning of his career but it's not something he could have talked about since it would only be construed as excuses. I like Djokovic's response about his father. No matter their sacrifices, it doesn't give him the right to trash talk Federer and Nadal. Great video. Really appreciated it and also subscribed. 👍

You put 2 magnets plus plus and they repel each other... NOVAK survived and won in 15 year long battle and become ultimate EMPEROR and tennis GOAT...
