Nikola Pilic : Roger Federer Wouldn’t Have Been Disqualified what Novak Djokovic was...

[Genious at Work]

Everyone loss **** time from time, humans have emotions. However you see at these emotions its up to you. For you hitting ball hard with anger into ball boy is not as bad as accidentily hit lines women with much slower ball. Well ok its your opinion.
I like Novak for his tennis play and for his behaviour outside of competitive matches. And i never call someone psycho when i dont know his true personality.

Djokovic is known to go into fits of rage, smash rackets dangerously close to people. hit balls ouside the court when he is mad, confront and insult members of the public, act like an entitled drama queen when he feels he doesn't get the public appreciation that he deserves (while engaging in cringe-worthy antics like the boob throw at the same time), defend controversial points of view, organize mass sporting events without minimal precautions while a pandemic is causing thousands of deaths in neighboring countries, etc. Not to mention his dad is a giant tool and a clown claiming that "God sent Novak".

What do you expect? Of course the guy is not Hitler or Pol Pot. But he is not Fedsl either.

Federer would not have done it. That’s the difference.

 

[NoleFam]

If the woman had been hit by Federer, I doubt she would have reacted like that to begin with. Lol. She knew what she was doing.

Adria Tour was a brilliant idea, for starters.

Audience and players seemed to enjoy themselves...and the profits went to charities. Brilliant indeed.

 

[Slicehand]

Federer wouldnt have done that, and i he would have been discualified as well

 

[Picmun]

Because hes from Switzerland not Serbia. I remember one time after Federer hit ball boy in the face about 10x time harder than Djokovic hit drama queen at USO, Federer smiled like this is nothing Nothing bad with the smile, we need smile more

Misogynist !

He put her in hospital - LOL !

That is not the part that was brilliant. I was talking about the Covid spreading part.

 

[PilotPete]

He wouldn't have been disqualified because he would have never have hit the lines woman in the throat causing her to gag.

 

[pj80]

That is not the part that was brilliant. I was talking about the Covid spreading part.

Few players got a lil bit sick and recovered...big deal. Much more financial aid was gained for resources in hospitals fighting covid...despite that we never heard that part.

 

[James P]

Oh, not this again...

 

[Waves]

That’s interesting looking at that angle of the video. Did that lineswoman just call a ball in? ND just lost the first set on that call, and he turns towards her and hits the ball at her…dang, that looks way worse than I originally thought. Please correct me if I’ve misinterpreted the events, but I’d say he got off easy.

And for the record I like Djokovic, just not all the stupid s&!t.

 

[Fedforever]

I didn't realise Novak came from Siberia.

 

[TimHenmanATG]

This is b*llocks.

There is no serious argument against his disqualification.

He's actually lucky that his petulant antics haven't resulted in other defaults, over the years.

I think it was against Bautista Agut at the 2016 FO where he had a toddler tantrum, and nearly hit a ball-kid in the process. He was exceptionally fortunate not to be disqualified that day.

 

[Tennisbg]

Most players and Djokovic have been more aggressive towards hitting the ball towards ball kids and audience before .
It is all about reaction of the Lady !

If there was a young kid who stood his/her ground and didnt fall down and smiled and Novak smiled back . This incident would have been funny for the commentators , as we have seen in many cases before ..( although I don't understand what's funny about it )

The moment the lady fell down as if she would die , disqualification was expected .
Even if the lady stood up and told the officials she wants to continue her job and didn't take medical time out , DQ wouldn't have happened mostly .

Federer himself said " this incident was unfortunate and that Novak was unlucky here " .

Initially , even I thought that if it was Fed ,he wouldn't be disqualified.
Now ,I think it's not about Fed or anyone , it is totally about the reaction of the lady . How she felt about the incident .

Kids/youngsters don't have ego , they laugh after being hit sometimes . Older people get upset on such incidents . The lady looked more upset . Her stare at Djokovic says Everything .

As Federer says , " Novak was unlucky " .
No use discussing this topic anymore !

There was a cameraman who got hit and he acted cool towards the player and he said something like "Nah, I am fine". Play resumed, this man deserves respect that he did not try to profit from accident.

Wow you guys are pathetic.

It's ok....at least some people like Novak....Its not like he doesn't have any fans at all

If nobody hates you, you're doing something wrong bro. Novak has enough fans.

 

[NoleFam]

It has nothing to do with how many fans he has. She overreacted, and I'm sure got a nice paycheck from the USTA after her performance.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Djokovic deserved to be disqualified. Whether others would be is irrelevant. Only totally biased individuals thought DQ was too much. Ofcourse Pilic is one.

 

[MotoboXer]

Video of him saying/tweeting or it did not happen.

 

[Enceladus]

Ball boys are there to catch and distribute balls. So they are always following the ball.

Lines persons have no other job than calling out or shut up otherwise.

Does this still apply?

Djokovic came and destroyed legacy of Federer which resulted that he got so much hate.

So... You agree that Djokovic isn't extra-hated due to his nationality then, at least ? That's what that person was saying.

Oh no. It certainly rubs them the wrong way that the GOAT has an "-ic" at the end of his name. Especially the Brits. They are relentless.

 

[aldeayeah]

that sunny dude at the start of the thread seems sharp as a razer, wonder what happened to him? maybe he couldn't cope?

 

[Silverbullet96]

I honestly don't see it at all. Djokovic isn't the 1st person with an "ic" in his name or the 1st Serbian, I don't see any of the others getting any special hate at all for that.

Eastern Europeans WHO DOMINATED the sport in the past were NEVER welcomed in the tennis world.
As i said, WHO DOMINATED.

Lendl, Navratilova, and of course Seles.

So it looks like it has nothing to do with being an Eastern European then, does it ? It's just Djokovic himself.
I won't say that Australians were NEVER welcomed in Tennis world because of how people treat Tomic and Kyrgios.

From what I see of Lendl he seems to a very quiet, cold, unapproachable personality on the court, it's natural that he isn't too buddy-buddy with Tennis media or fans. That doesn't mean he's hated.

Doesn't mean his hated ?

You seem not to remember the booing, and the headline in Sports Illustrated "The Champion nobody loves".
You seem to not remember the booing Martina copped when she dominated the "girl next door ", Evert. Or the fact she was a called a lesbian by many.....which she was. The constant taunts.
You seem to forget that Seles was stabbed by a crazed fan, when she started beating Graf ?

You saying that none of that was caused by the media ? None ? I remember it well, and 99% of it was.

Look at the headlines from major media today, after Novak's #23. "Tennis has Novak Djokovic problem, and something has to be done about it". Were they saying that about Federer in 2007 ?

Bro there was like a 100 posts by media congratulating and celebrating Djokovic's #23 win in the Djokovic News thread, a day after the Final, there might be even more now. Victimizing has just become a hobby for some Nolefam.
There are a lot of Eastern European players even today let alone in Tennis' history, both on Men's and Women's side who are very loved.

The article wasn;t written in some blog.
It was written in the Telegraph by Simon Briggs.


What exactly has to "be done about it " ?
