Novak's dog and pony show

I am quite tired of Djokovic's post match theatrics. Could he be more pretentious? Oh, yes...after the final he eats the court. :-D

It’s not that bad. He’s more like able in interviews than on court. Also dog and pony show? If he brought those with him he’d have a lot more fans I tell you

I root for Novak, but I agree, he seems bitter about getting no crowd support, but then does things which further alienate the crowd. The whole air-punching, roaring and glaring at the stands isn't helping. It's annoying to see the insecurity about that aspect of his career.

Massive Djokovic fan here, would like him to stop this as well. A fist pump and perhaps a roar in a big or tough match and then walk straight off. I don't understand why he does it given that almost all the crowd are always heavily against him. I like the angry roaring Djokovic not the love throwing and calm Djokovic.

I saw the boob throwing for the first time in ages yesterday. Funny as.

They have a spider cam that just loves that shot.

Certainly preferable to that ridiculous custom of laying down on the court as if you'd collapsed there, then having to decide what an appropriate amount of time is to lay there (too short and people wonder why you bothered, too long and you compel your opponent to wait there awkwardly for you to come to the net)

I’d take that over howling like a maniac and ripping your clothes off, to then proceed to send hugs and kisses to every corner of the stadium one by one.

Is it acceptable if you claim to have mental issues?
:rolleyes:

You mean like he did today?

It undeniable he is one of the best players ever.

But stuff like this is the reason that I, and assume many others, dont like him.
What the deal with eating the grass?
Wolf energy? Looked in the eye of wolves when a kid? GTFO. No one is looking in the eye of wolves and getting anything positive out of it, you would be scared out of your mind.

oh man, what is it with these salt posts???? Why? What is the point?

Fear that Djokovic will surpass the entire false legacy of a certain player, when his fans' very identity rested on said false legacy.


I cannot imagine what you think about Roger Federer or Rafa Nadal if you think Novak Djokovic is pretentious.

Some will never comment on the inappropriately nicknamed "golden eagle".

I went to the Aussie Open match a few years ago when Nishikori retired in the quarters. Djokovic sat on court with Courier for what must have been 30 minutes while they tried to hurry up the women's doubles players who were going on court after them. He was actually quite charming and humorous. All sports stars are a bit pretentious and victory celebrations are always corny and going to rub someone the wrong way, try not to take it too seriously.
