Above you can see an excerpt from Djokovic’s presser after his match against Thiem. I love it! I think it was about time Djokovic put these arrogant and smug British journos in their place.
The western media has always treated him like garbage because he is not from a western country or because he doesn’t fit their stereotype of how a top player should act.
First of all, their own player Murray acts much worse on the court. Second, if every top player acted like Federer or Nadal on court tennis would be in a very sorry state indeed.
Djokovic is his own unique person, which is why he surpassed Federer and Nadal. He has a strong personality and doesn’t want to fit any stereotype. If he did I wouldn’t be his fan, to begin with.
Precisely for the reason that he is unique and different, I am a fan. I love that he has emotional outbursts and shows emotion. It is a very fresh changeup from Federer’s ‘perfect’ on-court behavior.
What the stupid media doesn’t realize is that these kinds of incidents only motivate Djokovic and makes him better. He now, even more, wants to win this tournament and push their player back into the number two spot where he belongs.
Nishikori easily defeated Wawrinka 6-2 , 6-3 today in an impressive display while Stan put in one of his poor performances. It’s tough to predict who will qualify in this group but you would think Murray will be one of them.
He is playing tonight his first match against Cilic which could get interesting if Cilic plays his best tennis. The courts are faster this year which I am happy to see and which will help Cilic against Murray.
If Murray somehow loses his first match after Djokovic won his first match the pressure will already mount on him. But he is still the favorite to win.
I see Djokovic will play the second match tomorrow against Raonic which will be another important match for him and he does lead Raonic 7-0 in the head-to-head so we will see how it plays out.
I will be back with another post after that.
