One player’s take on Djokovic - Simon

[bilboa]

I know the article is a comparison to Federer, but I post it more about how the establishment is not in love with Nole and how one player views what Nole has done for players during his tenure - Gilles Simon

"It would annoy everyone if Djokovic breaks Federer's records" - Gilles Simon

Gilles Simon criticized the media's supposed bias against Novak Djokovic, and claimed that they protect Roger Federer. Simon also talked about how much good work Djokovic has done as the President of the ATP Player Council.

My opinion is that in every sport getting lower ranked players to participate more in winnings creates a more competitive environment.

During covid a lot of lower ranked players had it tough - not just in tennis....

Djovokic is so smart. He once gave Simon a pair of socks and gained Simon's support for life.

They were no show socks, but actually reached Simon's knees.

Remember, at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown, Djokovic was the one who wanted to give a stipend to every player in the top 100 or so.

Guess who shot it down? That would be correct if you answer Federer and Nadal!

I didn't forget this because I don't remember ever hearing it, but that is entirely admirable of him.

A lot of the British and Australian press is decidedly anti-Novak, like the Daily Mail. My guess is all of the Murdoch empire (which is a significant part of the press in both countries) is against Djokovic.

Murdoch will throw dirt at Djokovic at every opportunity. Murdoch owns sporting rights as well, and he doesn't want to pay more.
