It's hilarious how some people, years later, are still here ready to tell us fairy tales about the reasons why Djokovic is less loved than Fedal, leveraging, according to them, his playing style which has nothing to do with it.
The only real reason lies in the timing, when Djokovic began to dominate the circuit the fan base of tennis enthusiasts had already sided with the two previous dominators, Fedal in fact.
Djokovic was the classic example of a player who was going to ruin the party of that rivalry.
Hilarious if not delusional when it is said that the level of play and consequently success does not influence popular consensus.
If Federer had not dominated tennis as he did between 2003 and 2007, do we bet that he would never have been loved as he actually was?
As for the style of Djokovic or Sinner himself, I reiterate that only those who have a minimal understanding of tennis can define their style as boring.
Seeing Djokovic master the baseline fundamentals in that world with his feet always anchored on the baseline is a spectacle.
His ability to maneuver the game at will, manipulating the game of others.
His movement allows him to reverse the inertia from defense to attack in a trifle.
His instincts and reflexes in returns (strictly in advance).
And Sinner is nothing other than its most aggressive evolution.
But what do these lovers of being stylish as an end in itself want to understand, like Shapovalov, a player whose legacy he left in this sport in 50 years no one, apart from style lovers, will remember.
