Should there be a statue of Djokovic in Melbourne Park?

[Hitman]

He's won the title 10 times, dominated the event Down Under like no other before him. The closest to him are Emerson and Federer and even they are a full Agassi career at AO behind Djokovic.

20-0 in grand slam semis and finals combined.

Djokovic now looking extremely likely to go down as the all the time slam record holder, and AO is the most important part of his slam legacy. Is it about time to honor their greatest champion there?

 

[TheNachoMan]

Yes, but it won’t happen. More likely that Thomas Johansson gets a statue.

 

[ojo rojo]

Definitely

 

[Razer]

He would have had 11 titles if not for Scott Morrison

 

[Razer]

Definitely

This looks like ken Rosewall

Commission this sculptor:

Can you guess who it is?

 

[Start da Game]

Nah, the real GOAT is only human being who deserves it.

 

[joekapa]

Yes it is. But it will never happen.

Ftfy

Is that made from Lindt chocolate?

 

[NAS]

My personal thought but statue should be reserve for Australian greats.
Novak should have statue in Serbia

It is.

They have a whole bunch of statues around Melbourne Park, (Bradman, Laver, Warne, Landy and Clarke, Wills) but they're all of Aussies, so if they did, it'd be pretty special,

 

[nolefam_2024]

He is not a minister of Australia. I think his name is immortal now and he doesn't need statue.

 

[optic yellow]

chill he'll have 11 in 7 months

 

[nolefam_2024]

If that's true then he would have 12 at that time. It doesn't matter what he will have, he was robbed already and his nemesis was direct benefactor. These things don't go away.

[weakera]

It's hard to imagine because he's not very well liked but when you have that many titles it's tough not to do it.

[Hypo Crisis]

I voted for yes but frankly I don't think he needs it.
Why would he get a statue at venue where he was booed, misspelled, banned, detained like a criminal...
Let them build Federer statue instead, seems more appropriate


Edit - changed my vote to no

Agree.

Who needs it ?
I don't think he himself does.

 

[nolefam_2024]

True..I have no love left for Australia or Australian open after the crap they pulled. It was a travesty. Don't need statue in such a place.

 

[junior74]

Hope they make that one look like Rublev/ Delpo, as well

If you don't want Djokovic to get a statue at a venue where he was booed, there are no venues left, lol...

 

[Born_to_slice]

No, statues are for dead people.

 

[Voleathoney97]

No

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

The ATP should be creating a GOAT/best of his era statue of him!

Well unlike your guy, Djokovic doesn't really need it.
Also he doesn't need late rush of guilt from any of you gloryhunters that saw Fedal as the only option.
Statues are made for places - to make places look significant. So, if he ends with couple of them or 0, it really doesn't matter.

 

[Hood_Man]

I think Djokovic has had enough erections at the Rod Laver Arena already.

Statues are for the greats, not just in sport but in all pursuits. Djokovic deserves one somewhere, but if you don't want a statue in any venue he was booed in, it will have to be in Serbia only.

 

[weakera]

No, statues are for dead people.

That's not true at all in sports. The Lakers unveil new statues for living legends all the time.

 

[RaulRamirez]

I don't think there's a "should" on such things.
If he were an Aussie, maybe.

You are still salty with your petty remarks after all that we saw at RG.
Just leave watching tennis, it doesn't look good on you.

Why are you so sensitive? What did I say that isn't objectively true?

It's your manner of approaching things that speaks about your feelings Nadal is pushed aside that whole world finally noticed.
You think you are cheeky but you just talk the same as before RG. Problem now for you - you haven't got many things to grab on. Love, Olympics, H2H in Slams.
If I am to be sensitive, I would feel sorry for you.

Dude that is below the belt

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Pete needs a statue at flushing first. He’s been retired 20 years and just based on the “vomit match” against corretja alone

 

[Impetus]

Sure. He should have a very small penis to show the world there is nothing more annoying than fandom.

The Rafa statue has no facial resemblance at all. Too funny

I guess Novak has a more characteristic face. That said, I don't really understand why some of his fans call Federer "Nose"...

 

[initialize]

What if they made a statue of Fed at the AO since he made more of an impact there?

How mad would Djokovic fans be?

 

[Julius Caesar]

Great idea so that people could still boo at him when hes gone

 

[joekapa]

What matters are his name on the trophies, and the winners board.

What the Federer fans do not understand, is that there is NO CHANCE Federer's statue will ever be erected at any GS stadium either. Think about it Bifko's.

He had more of an impact ? How ?

 

[SonnyT]

No, it would afford people to vandalism.

 

[joekapa]

Whether you like it or not, Fedal fans........the Greatest of this generation's surname has an "-ic" at the end of it. And that in itself is causing you all to "itch" allover.

And I'm not even from Serbia.
