We have a winner in buthurt journalism

[Phoenix1983]

You know what. Who gives a sh!!!!!!!!!!t what you think or expect. Respect all players. Do you even watch tennis? You said 20 years. It sounds more like 20 months. Give me a break. Novak is a great player like it or not. Goats do exist but not in tennis.

I don’t have to respect all players, child.

Sounds like a normal Maestronian to me

I actually love Nole's hair.... One will never go bald with that thick barnet

"Everything about the Serb is just a bit off.

It starts with the haircut"

 

[I Am Finnish]

He meant his 2008 prime hair, Nadal the Barbarian.

Lol at the 2nd pic

 

[I Am Finnish]

LOL - Djokovic's eyes and expression in that second photo look hilarious!

I know right

 

[RaulRamirez]

He does give the appearance of an alien doing his best impression of a human being. I saw him practice with Troicki once and Vajda was clowning around while Djokovic was dead serious, so he seems to recognize that he needs somebody around to lighten things up. He would be more liked if he could stop trying to be a nice guy and was a little more the real, sarcastic Djokovic that he probably is in private.

I don't know him personally, but he strikes me as a very nice guy, who cares about others, and about making a difference in the world. He's also ultra-competitive, and sometimes displays a bad temper. In many respects, I think he's the most interesting top player, intellectually and emotionally.

And, are you actually saying that Djoker never clowns around?!

 

[Gazelle]

Novak’s hair is the kind that just keeps growing outward if he doesn’t cut it

I’d rather be bald haha

I have that type of hair and the best moment of the month is when I shave it all off!

I understand that it is easier for people like you to paint this as Novak Djokovic vs Federer - easier for your brains to handle. If you wish to continue thinking in such a way, be my guest.

However, objective observers know that there are many other tennis players of note, past and present, who would not disgrace this fine sport, were they GOAT. Novak Djokovic is not among them.

You had a point but now yer pushing BS

No, Djokovic would not "disgrace" the sport if he becomes the goat, just like Floyd Mayweather doesn't "disgrace" boxing or Liverpool doesn't "disgrace" football by winning the Champions League or Michael Schumachger in Formula 1.

It merely makes things duller and more boring than otherwise would be. Sports is full of champions who excel in machinelike consistency.

Knew it'd be something against your idol.

LOOOL and I read this as you're donning the chap as your avatar. That was too funny.

Name: Mark Reason
Occupation: Rugby related journalist
Accomplishments: Articles made as a response for his drivels such as "A reasoned response to the unreasonable Mark Reason, who is bad" or "Mark Reason is a Fukin Idiot"
His newest release: "Novak Djokovic is too ungodly to ever be called the greatest"

Quotes from his masterpiece:
"Everything about the Serb is just a bit off. It starts with the haircut. It's like an 'Action Man' doll cut. It's military. Has a hair moved in the past 10 years? The cut must make sense for tennis. No floppy hair flicking drops of sweat into your eyes. But it's just not Borg or McEnroe or Gerulaitis or Federer or Nadal. It's all just a bit more Ivan Lendl."
"Then there's the clothes.With Djokovic you sometimes think that 'Nole' is short for Nostyle. He has those ironed creases in his clothes that never move. And they always look brand new. Djokovic forever looks like a boy heading off for his first day at school. "
"But perhaps what defines Djokovic as much as anything is the way he plays tennis. When he beat Nadal in Melbourne it was like watching a machine play. It was one of the most brilliant grand slam performances of the past ten years and yet it left you cold. Watching Djokovic practise a couple of hours before his semifinal match, he just couldn't hit the wide, flat first serve into the advantage court. The machine was malfunctioning. "
"He does not have the grace of Federer or the muscular Rambo of the heavier Nadal. "
"Djokovic keeps hitting shots that most of us could sometimes hit, but does it with percentages near 100 per cent. It's ungodly. "
"But if Djokovic wins again (Wimbledon), and he starts at almost even money favourite, can we bear the thought of starting to think that he just may be the greatest ever. Is winning enough? Do statistics triumph more than human factors. "

Icing on the cake - quoting Kyrgios as opinion that matters:

"He's a champion of the sport, one of the greatest we'll ever see. Honestly I think he will get the grand slam count. I think he will pass Federer... No matter how many grand slams he wins he will never be the greatest for me simply because I've played him twice and I'm sorry, but if you can't beat me, you're not the greatest of all time."
Happily a nine-year-old grabbed Kyrgios at last week's Queen's tournament and asked Kyrgios about this business of greatness.
Vuk said: "Don't forget Novak Djokovic."
Who?" Kyrgios replied.
"Novak Djokovic," said Vuk
"Who's that?" said Kyrgios.
"He's the Serbian tennis player."
"Oh yeah, I think I know him."
It's knockabout stuff but there's a human truth in there."

Was there any tennis champion in history, and I am talking about Sampras heights here, so blatantly provoked, discredited and slandered as Novak Djokovic is through his whole career ?
How is it even possible that as journalist you allow yourself to write such trash of column about any sport giant just because he isn't your cup of tea ?

looks like a human Oscar the grouch

This one went over my head, I'm afraid. Nice scene tho.

 

[Pantera]

Guy is clearly sore he has never had a girlfriend...I mean with that haircut and face even Nole fans have to pity the guy not be angry. I feel for the dude I really do. As for Djokovic, probably cant stop laughing at the butthurt.

Incorrect analysis.

Mayweather not considered GOAT, either in all time pound for pound stakes (S.R. Robinson), or in influence and legendary status (M. Ali).

Liverpool not even considered the best team in their own country at present (Man City).

Schumacher might be the statistical F1 GOAT, but the true aficionados know that those who excelled in lesser machines, such as A. Senna, J.M. Fangio and J. Clark, stand higher in the pantheon of greatness.

Nope, no comparison to the hell on earth potentially awaiting the beautiful sport of tennis, should the detestable Novak Djokovic be crowned its GOAT.

It must be "hell on earth" for you already if you find Novak detestable.

Seems reasonable.
