Djokovic was nearly disqualified in 02 arena.

If I didn't know any better, I'd have thought I was reading a Nadal interview.

If you were more knowledgeable, you would know that Rafa doesn't do these things.

Had the ball hit THAT journo or his cat, ambulance would have been called and Novak arrested on the spot.

Some of those responses are almost Kyrgios-level. He's rapidly losing the plot.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Give the creeps the silent treatment. That would be awesome.

This is how love and peace looks (amor & paz, if you prefer), brothas. Nothing more to it than that.

Q - You’re not concerned about your mindset?
Djokovic - I’m the only player that shows his frustration on the court? That’s what you are saying?
Q - You’re one of the top-ranked players in the world.
Djokovic - So?

I so agree with Djoker on this. I don't think top players should lead by example when it comes to "frustration". Yes, they have more opportunities to stay cool than lower ranked players do as their winning record proves it, but they also have more responsibilities than the others. If they fail to live up to the expectations, they'll quickly end up lower ranked as the others. Anyhow, all players are humans with varieties of characters, so all of them ought to have the room for their outbursts as long as nobody gets hurt for them. Otherwise, we may have fewer talents showing out there as they may hold back whatever they've got show.

Djokovic plays better when he shows emotions on the court. When he loses he should always get angry. Most of the time he gets back in matches like this and usually turns around the result and wins.

Oh but of course
Or maybe it is pretty normal response that started with laughing (other journalists laughed too), and when questioner insisted on his rude comments Djokovic responded like any other player (or person) responds in those situations - amazed and bored by insisting, but certainly not Kyrgios like.
If you want tobe malicious, you could make almost any press conference "almost Kyrgios level".

Quite frankly I was getting tired of the SUPER Mr. Nice Guy attitude - its just boring for sport..... correct, but boring. If he does something punishable they should punish him. End of story.

For those comparing this to Kyrgios - I would say that there is a big difference between attitudes on the court and behavior.

He needs to get the fire burning again - showing frustration is a good start IMO

I am perfectly happy with Djokovic's behaviour yesterday. He is coming back and for many posters here it means

"Be afraid, be very afraid".

oooooohhhhhhh, very ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
