Novak Djokovic is arguably tennis's greatest superstar, with 24 Grand Slam titles to his name, and the number is likely to continue to rise. Djokovic is also happy to continue breaking the record he holds.
In 2023 alone, Djokovic won three Grand Slam championships, two Masters championships and an ATP Finals championship. Still, Djokovic faced boos and boos from fans around the world. what is the reason behind the scene?
French tennis legend and Serena Williams’ former coach Patrick Mouratoglou gave the answer.
Mouratoglou pointed out that the reason why Djokovic faced boos and boos was mainly because Djokovic broke almost all records of Federer and Nadal, which made Federer and Nadal fans dissatisfied. , so most of the fans who booed Djokovic are basically fans of Nadal and Federer.
Muratoglu’s words are not unreasonable. In fact, such a situation does exist.
Mouratoglou believes that it is precisely because Djokovic swept all the records of the two legends Feina that Feina fans heckled Djokovic. However, this kind of booing is not without merit. It is precisely this kind of booing, taunting and booing that can arouse the anger and fighting spirit in Djokovic's heart. This hostile mood will make Djokovic more focused and engage in more intense confrontations. among them, thus performing better.
Rafa and Roger were the greatest superstars in tennis, but Novak came in and beat both of them, and the crowd hated him for it. I think there were other reasons why he was booed. He said he doesn't like the negativity, but sometimes he lets the crowd boo him because it helps him during games.
Of course, Djokovic revealed that he doesn't always enjoy playing in such an environment and hopes the crowd will support him as they do other players on the tour. But this is difficult. With Djokovic's achievements, he has never won the title of ATP's Most Popular Player of the Year. I have to say, this is a huge irony.
In global away games, the more you are booed, the more excited you become, the more you can stimulate your potential and create history. This is Djokovic. Before this year's year-end finals, Federer and Djokovic jointly held the record of six year-end finals championships. However, as Djokovic defeated Sinner to win the championship, this record was also held by Djokovic alone.
In the second round of the Paris Masters, Djokovic's number of official matches reached 1,289, surpassing Nadal. Similar records were set by Djokovic.
Think about it, Nadal fans and Federer fans see that the records set by the players they admire are stepped on by Djokovic, and they will inevitably feel unbalanced, so they boo when watching him play. It’s not surprising that the sound is everywhere. However, Djokovic was booed not only because he swept Feiner's record, but also for some other reasons.
