WQXR: Djokovic Is Among Top Five Famous Classical Music Fans

Is Djokovic more intellectual than Federer and Nadal?

Are you his PR-manager or sth.?

Totally agree with OP. If you listen to classical, you are clearly more 'intellectual' than someone who doesn't.

!is that a fact, or just more rubbish?

Yep. That's a fact.

OP, that list lost all credibility when it listed Kanye in the honorable mentions section.

I would put Tipsy and Youzhny as the most intellectual tennis players.

Nadal has said many times that he likes classical music as well. Is he intellectual too?

Please. He can't even speak English, and that's the most basic requirement.

is that an opinion or a fact ? :)

I'm surprised. I figured he liked anime songs.

Not until he learns to compose and play his own classical music. I'm sure he can afford a violin. :)



Anyone can listen to classical music.;)

He plays good Piano.

Classical Music doesn't make someone intelligent. There are plenty of intelligent people who listen to Rap and Rock.

LOL.

Fed likes some classical music as well, though I don't think opera. But he's had Beethoven and Chopin pieces on his i-pod. And last year he went with his mom to a Beethoven violin concert in Rotterdam for her b-day. OK, it was a b-day outing for her but doubt they would have gone if he hated that kinda stuff.

Anyway, that said, of course Djoko is more intellectual than Fed and Nadal - I thought that was common knowledge? That's obvious from his interviews, the types of movies he sees etc.

Nadal at least does read some books though; Fed isn't a book-reader at all and when he talks about movies it's usually James Bond kinda stuff. "Good Will Hunting" is about as "arty" as he goes to my knowledge anyway.

James Blake and Mario Ancic can clearly join those two, the former having an Ivy League education, and the latter now being a lawyer.

Nadal told me he listens to Bartok and Stravinsky.

Dis an opinion or a fact?

That's a bit judgemental- just because someone doesn't read books and likes James Bond doesn't mean they're not an intellectual. Hell discussing how 'intellectual' players are is pretty pointless. For all we know Fed might watch documentaries on Nietzche right after matches

Plato and Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci and Beethoven couldn't speak English either. Does that mean they weren't intellectuals? :)

I listen to classical music. The other night I spent 45 minutes looking for my glasses only to realise I was wearing them.

Your theory has flaws.

You still haven't figured out that TTMR specializes in sarcasm, have you? You have been falling for his bait for months now.
