I may be wrong, but it seems to me that you only followed the results and did not play tennis yourself. Fedderer, Nadal, Dokovic, Marey, Wawrinka and many other outstanding names have raised tennis to a level not yet available to young players who periodically shoot in individual tournaments, but do not have the same consistency as their older comrades.

Yeah, I played tennis but that's not what I meant.
Is just an expression of how they set the bar so high.
Those three players have won +10 gran slam than any other in the history, and they made it playing at the same era. They didn't left room for nobody else

Because he comes from Serbia. Its rare to see that people support and cheers for athletes from that country. Even basketball player, back to back MVP of NBA Jokic aint getting love as much he would deserve it.

I wouldn't say it's just being Serbian that makes him less loved by tennis fans.

A big part of it for me was his antics and the way he behaved earlier in his career.

Like smashing ratchets and arguing with umpires.

Also being disqualified from the US open for hitting a line judge a female. Didn't do his overall appeal a favour also.
 
Novak Djokovic begins his 417th week as the best player in the world today. That's 7.997 years ranked #1. Novak is mathematically guaranteed to achieve a mythical 8 full years as #1 next week.

he is the best ever . his country of origin has nothing to do with his not being a fan favorite .just a strong personality that rubs some people the wrong way ( i am one of them ! ). he cant even find a coach to work with now .... sore loser when not winning everything ?
 
Sinner vs Alcaraz, who do you think wil win? I think the chamoion will be from this match
 
Congratulatins to Alcaraz for reaching the final in Paris; his greatness has no limts.
 
Would be nice to see a new breed come through. Novak has injury issues might level the field a little
 
Yeah, I watched the final game. Well, for me everything was clear when Carlos beat Sinner. Sasha Zverev struggled, but he lacked the psychology of a winner. That's the way it's always been and always will be. But he's a very talented tennis player and he's already proved it. But Alcaraz is still Rafael's heir. And everyone understands that. And Carlos should have won. And he did it in a very impressive style. 😎
 
The best player won this Roland Garros.Alcaraz deserved the victory.Zverev is playing very well this season,though
 
I think everyone knew those two would win even before the tournament started!
 
next men's slam final soon ! i feel Novak is the best that has ever played , but now he is aging and perhaps injury prone also .its time for a new champion .
 
US Open player compensation rises to a record $65 million, with singles champs getting $3.6 million
 
US player taylor fritz got to the US open final .... its been quite a while since that happened .
 
Congratulations to Britsh tennis prospect Jack Draper on making his breakthrough run at the US Open! Bright future!
 
who do you think is the favorite at the Australian Open 2025 ? Sinner Djoko or Alcaraz?
