You all know that this super athlete is 100% vegan right?

The first reporter asking the questions sounds like Tsitsipas lol
Paul Treadaway
He smashed his racquet and was struggling that was a turnaround down 3 to 1 3rd set.This guy finds away nobody has that somehow even it's ugly.Everyone has emotions demons or angels circling around us in spirits even the legends have.Its called living riding it
Jeremy
Say what you want about Djoker, but he's got a lot on his plate about the state/fate of tennis in the current uncertain geo-political catastrophe that is the pandemic. This is a lot to handle for just a player in its current charge/format. Im kind of enjoying the fake applause (edited in unbeknownst to players) and instant line calling by digital acuity.
Jeremy
Im glad locoste and the euro apparel co's haven't opted the commercialist vomit play of nike/etc styling of a 13 year old gender confused boy. These cheapsters stop at nothing cashing out on the current political anarchy/overthrow of law and order as we know it just to make a buck, but thank god lacoste such as here make VERY NICE fitting/looking proper clothing, because it just makes natural sense.
Jeremy
The human backboard 2.0 (after davy) can play with broken body.

The dislikes are all the people that don't know he will be the greatest player of all time.

Stop tapping, throwing your hand on the table! 😤😅 Sorry... that's all I can hear
Bams Sudardjo
He will be most week number 1 such a long time .. who will replace him.. n roger fans get ugly cry.. .. 😂😂😅😂😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭
Zachary Monck
Don’t play then. The world doesn’t change for you mate. COVID and quarantining affects everyone, you have to quarantine you absolute dunce.
Aleda k
Congratulations but can you please not throw and break racquets? You’re better than that!
B Smith
He lets his “demons” control him. Sad! He needs a mental coach which is becoming more acceptable especially if it helps clear his head of these demons and help him behave better.. I love the reporters statement about N not being proud of his outburst and how he will explain it to his kids. Boy I relate to that.
Susan W
If he let his demons 'control' him he wouldn't win. Let's face it: after he smashed his racket, he smashed those demons out and won five games in a row! He is the KING! None of us is perfect.
Joao Vitor Almeida
The guy’s breath next to the camera is pretty annoying
Ann Farag
I think Novak played amazingly ! He was all over the court Very physical, great match
Andrew Reid
Can someone please tell me why the media doesn't like this man? Is it because when he first joined the tour as a young man he was a little immature? I just don't get it ....why don't more people love this guy. He has to be one of the most thoughtful athletes I have ever listened to. How many athletes would of given the answer he did when talking about the upcoming ATP season? He has been battling for years with the ATP to improve the prize money for lower ranked players on the tour. He has no reason to do this expect for the fact that he wants to improve the lives of the players that are not at the top of the rankings for the ATP Tour. These qualities alone should make him a media darling. I haven't even started to discuss his amazing accomplishments on the court. He is a once in a generation type athlete that has been battling Federer and Nadal for over 10 years and he has been able to keep up and hold his own. In my opinion the media really needs to let go of the opinion they formed about him 15 years ago because it is as clear as day that he is a very different man now than he was back then. Good luck in the semi-finals Novak Djokovic 👊
Susan W
I think they quite liked him when he was younger. They mostly ignored him when he was no.3 in the world for three years. t was when he began to win, repeatedly, against their darlings, Roger and Rafa that the media & R& R fans began to hate him. But many of us adore him. I'm glad you noticed his concern for those lower down the pecking order too. (Sue London UK) He may not be a media darling, but he's certainly the darling of his fans. Soon to be announced as the person with the most weeks at no 1 in history! Yay!

👎🏼 he is an ***! only wants attention! you guys really think he has any kind of injury and can play like that?! he is a con man. of course he is hell of a tennis player but why all the drama on and off the field? why not enjoy the fame... he made mistakes in the past but leave them in the past and not start something new every single grand slam/tournament 🤦🏼♀️ i don’t get it! he has money, fame, everything but still seeks attention with lies and bad behavior!
Hugh Mungus
🤦♂️ 😂
Tennis Sir
Why does everyone dislike this guy ? I used to think it was because off all of the fake injuries years ago but I’m not sure ?
Marko KJS
"everyone" 🤦😂😅
Susan W
"Everyone" does not dislike this guy. Loads of us ADORE him! That wasn't "fake" injuries: it was food allergies that left him beached like a whale on hot days. Once that was sorted, he became the greatest player ever in the eyes of very, many people. He dominated the sport for a decade and is about to claim the person with the longest number of weeks at no.1 in the world ever. Maybe that's why some 'hate' him? He beats their favourites.
MandE MrEmil
You faked ingery , you are not honest
Susan W
Prove it! You cannot. Ask the physios from the aTP tour - you don't have to ask his physios.

Silly questions about a broken racket.

I don’t believe for a second that Zverev pushed Novak to the Limit. Only Nadal has done it to Novak in majors and Novak to Nadal.

SIMPLY THE BEST. GOAT

The jocker is the least popular player on tour. He pretends to be injured every single grand slam.
Susan W
Again I say: prove it! Ask the physios from the ATP tour - you don't have to ask his physios, ask the others! They know.
Av Dek
Yeah right sure he talks a lot of bull. He broke his racket and damaged the court but nothing happened, no penalty. The chair empire should be fined for not fining Novak.
Av Dek
@Susan W why didn't he get a penalty for breaking his racket. Its a rule if ATP.
Av Dek
@Susan W its impossible for a stomach muscle to tear and heal in 1 day. Impossible!!

What a ridiculous comparison. How idiotic! He won five games in a row after that. Rather good methinks!
Atanu Dey
U lost credibility a big cheat to distract others 😎😎😎😎
Atanu Dey
Have anyone' seen anyone who has a muscle tear confessed by none himself moves so well &rotate freely a big faker😭😭😭😭😭
Susan W
It's a strain not a tear. Huge difference. You clearly didn't like him before the injury so you're happy, another reason to criticise. But unhappy cos he's still winning! :) #Sourgrapes
Hang Nguyen
He said that before having the scan and test, and probably was just scared right after the match vs Fritz and thought about the worst scenario. He had never really had any experience with this kind of injury before so it's quite understandable, nothing wrong with being a little dramatic about your health tbh.
Noname Man
A lotta people talk about GOAT's in tennis and every other sports...In my opinion there is no such thing in tennis,every era had it's great champions and so far they never had and never will have a chance to play each other and determine who the so-called GOAT is...but,for those who insist on having a GOAT in tennis,than that GOAT has three heads : Nole,Rafa and Roger simply because to have 3 great champions in the same era is a rare thing,the level of tennis they blessed us with in the last 15 years is out of this world and they are still going at it.
Noname Man
@Susan W I know,and i'm one of his biggest fans,but all three of them made tennis history and brought tennis to another level...
Susan W
But only one of those three heads is ahead head to head! :)
Atanu Dey
He is the biggest faker & cheater tactically smart plays with opponents mindset😎😎
Susan W
You can't cheat in a tennis match. You play to win. If you win, you win! Zverev also had an injury, so that works both ways, but I don't believe it anyway. Only non Novak fans talk like that!
MrShwinner
Novak Djokovic is a player of the people. His intensity is unmatched on the court, and off the court - he is the only player sticking up for the lower ranked players.
Jon M
He can turn it up when he wants to, look at the send set, he just kicked ass, he can beat Federer and Nadal easier than anyone. If his body holds up hopfully he shuld be able to beat the GS record.
Danny
Novak will definitely win it now.
Rumpelstiltskin
Novak is an expert in the clutch moments of the match.
Zimbabwian Jesus
Uh, I'm so injured that I would have withdrawed from any other tournament than a slam because of how bad this injury is, continues to play his best tennis as if never injured. Yea yea. This is the reason why Djokovic will never be a legend like Federer and Nadal despite being just as good. He is a drama queen.
John Stromboly
go walk your dog Jssus , NOW !!!
Karen Mackay
You really have to understand how privileged you are. There is no way you should be able to travel and play without complying if quarantine is required or are you happy to be the one who transmits COVID? There are many people who have lost their livelihoods as well as family & friends have died due to COVID. You are currently in one of the safest countries in the world. You were classed as essential workers during our 5 day lockdown. How lucky you were. Others in this state have lost out.
Vidya Sonavane
Novak, u r a disgraceful tennis player. Shame on u! U embarrassed your parents and your family.
T H
I always find Djokovic a good example of how much stress the great players go through. They can end up with a kind of post traumatic stress disorder from all the pressure. Living on adrenaline like they do shreds the nerves (I remember reading that Federer went through a phase of waking up screaming during the night and his wife would have to calm him down). Each player has to find a way to deal with that and Djokovic is an interesting example of the measures some players take off the court to try and deal with that, with his interest in things like spirituality and diet.

Ace Panda
He is as unprofessional and dirty as an athlete can be. Full of tricks and deceptions. Not a worthy champion. Lies, conspiracies and naked ambition in the guise of selfless concern for lower ranked players. All told, not a role model for the game.

Nonsense. He's a far better person than your Fedal darlings will ever be.

1:16 what a little girl of a question...explain to your kids why you smashed the raquet.. mate they will be proud of him ! Hahaha
Susan W
@Danilo Desnica I too agree. He won five games in a row after that. He smashed out his frustration and went into full focus zone after that. Ironically, I was telling a student of mine how he used to smash his racquet but hasn't done it for years - and while I was teaching her he did it for the first time in years!!! :)
Danilo Desnica
Agree. I'm sure his kids will understand that the smashing of the racquet was the result of pure frustration. I hope they will learn to distinguish moments of frustration from downright nastiness, which I have seen exhibited by some other players on the tour.
Francesco Mancuso

What a man. What a champion. Speaks the truth instead of media pandering. COVID BS restrictions are ruining people's wellbeing the world over. He's 100% right.

Taher Ahmed
Djokovic is a very effective player, he finds a way to win. Only thing is, I've watched a lot of pro tennis in my time, but I cannot remember a single shot or statement Djokovic has ever made. I cannot say the same with respect to Fed, Nadal, Warwinka, Murray etc. It doesn't matter that he is predictable, he finds a way to win which is what matters most in tennis.
Susan W
YOU CAN'T REMEMBER A SINGLE SHOT???!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???????
Terence Wong
Novak was much more calm and played much better after smashing his racket.
Suparna
I like Novak because he is not perfect, he is human but also not self destructive like Kyrgios.
Anantapuramu News
The way number of times Zverev failed to break Novak serve being in positions like 0-30 on Djocovic serve is heart breaking.

I have an important announcement to make: As of today, after 16 years, Djokovic replaces Nadal as the number one player to receive my applause, support and encouragement. He has proven to be a warrior on-court and a brave advocate of truth off-court. GO, DJOKO, GO!!!
Tilly Poozies
Smashed his racquet as if there was no stomach injury. What a dirty little creature he is. Always someone else's fault when he loses a point or he puts an exclamation mark on his opponents win with a fake injury. What a germ.
Tilly Poozies
@Susan W Do you know Novak ?
Susan W
@Danilo Desnica I couldn't agree more Danilo!
Susan W
@Tilly Poozies No. Because you said despicable things about someone you don't even know. Prove the fake injury. Go on. Ask the ATP physios in Melbourne, not Novak's own physio - they'll tell you. And if you respond, try to be polite. That's one think Novak certainly has over you: he would never say say such awful things about his opponents. (Apart from his superb win record, of course).
Susan W
No, it's you who is disgusting. Both him and Sasha had an injury. Great champions play through it. And those saying he said he'd withdraw if it weren't a grand slam seem to forget that you don't get a day off in the other tournaments. Keep your foul comments to yourself please and doun't foul this thread.
Tilly Poozies
@Danilo Desnica wow you got stage 3 anger. Control yourself you might hurt your stomach muscles lol
aussie_boy
Class act. Kyrgios (by contrast) is an absolute disgrace and should have been permanently banned from the circuit years ago.
Atta Rehman
Mental giant, the most clutch player of all time. It has become normal for Novak to turn into beast mode when the crucial pressure moments arrive during a match. Never seen anything like it. What a sportsman. Hoping to see his 9th AO and GS number 18!
Nick Yung
Someone is breathing very heavily in the background... creep me out.

Helios Defendi
He can be great in tennis, it's his moment but he doesn't arouse sympathy or amiability. For many he does not heat up, and his tennis is robotic, a tennis digger! Further he is as well as an ugly and unpleasant character 😮🤔 Much better Feder or Nadal.
Can any journalists congratulate him?
The best player ever
You all know that this super athlete is 100% vegan right?

12:30 He was just waiting for him... That Djokovic smile is unplayable😂😂 #nottoobad
How about play in a country that respects people's freedom! Try Africa, many countries there are not locked down.
I think Aslan can beat Novak
Ebaldo nôt to Bad ?::::)))😜😜😀😀
I have an important announcement to make: As of today, after 16 years, Djokovic replaces Nadal as the number one player to receive my applause, support and encouragement. He has proven to be a warrior on-court and a brave advocate of truth off-court. GO, DJOKO, GO!!!
Smashed his racquet as if there was no stomach injury. What a dirty little creature he is. Always someone else's fault when he loses a point or he puts an exclamation mark on his opponents win with a fake injury. What a germ.
@Susan W Do you know Novak ?
@Danilo Desnica I couldn't agree more Danilo!
@Tilly Poozies No. Because you said despicable things about someone you don't even know. Prove the fake injury. Go on. Ask the ATP physios in Melbourne, not Novak's own physio - they'll tell you. And if you respond, try to be polite. That's one think Novak certainly has over you: he would never say say such awful things about his opponents. (Apart from his superb win record, of course).
No, it's you who is disgusting. Both him and Sasha had an injury. Great champions play through it. And those saying he said he'd withdraw if it weren't a grand slam seem to forget that you don't get a day off in the other tournaments. Keep your foul comments to yourself please and doun't foul this thread.
@Danilo Desnica wow you got stage 3 anger. Control yourself you might hurt your stomach muscles lol
Class act. Kyrgios (by contrast) is an absolute disgrace and should have been permanently banned from the circuit years ago.
Mental giant, the most clutch player of all time. It has become normal for Novak to turn into beast mode when the crucial pressure moments arrive during a match. Never seen anything like it. What a sportsman. Hoping to see his 9th AO and GS number 18!
Someone is breathing very heavily in the background... creep me out.
NOT TOOO BAADD
He can be great in tennis, it's his moment but he doesn't arouse sympathy or amiability. For many he does not heat up, and his tennis is robotic, a tennis digger! Further he is as well as an ugly and unpleasant character 😮🤔 Much better Feder or Nadal.
