Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer make up the most legendary trio in tennis history and they have been compared in every possible way. The vast majority of parallels have been focused on their successes on the track but there are others that have been carried out from another point of view.
After twenty years of the best rivalry the sport has produced, tennis fans have connected with the personalities of Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. However, one of these three is known to have less complicity with fans.
‘Nole’ is less loved than the manacorí and the helvetico. Marion Bartoli, Wimbledon champion, explained why in a statement collected by ‘Tennis365.com’: “Roger exudes elegance, Rafa, on the other hand, is considered a great fighter who won 14 times at Roland Garros. But nobody likes him third, in this case Djokovic”.
“Djokovic’s later breakthrough regarding Federer and Nadal has played a big role. But if you talk to all the players and fans around the world, people like Novak’s personality and have a lot of respect for his game.” he added.
It is true that the fact that the Serbian appeared years later in the world tennis showcase is something that does not play in his favor. However, he neither does his marches to serve at difficult moments of the match or the requests for a physiotherapist to stop the good dynamics of the rival.
In addition, Djokovic shows a colder and more calculating personality. Without going any further, the already viral howl that he threw at his coaching staff in the Cincinnati final against Carlos Alcaraz does not show the best side of ‘Nole’.
