Why aren't we talking about Novak Djokovic

Part of the reason he is so unpopular on tour is everyone is convinced he is on PEDs and is very good at masking. His physical fitness is unparalleled and he’s mid 30s.

Knowing what a health nut he is, I highly doubt that.

+1 sounds like a little jealousy.

Same with Tom Brady. He also takes his healthy eating to an extreme. I could never be that disciplined but I guess good for them since look where it got them.

While he has done a lot of charitable work, that's PR often done in his name by his team. In person and on the court, he's a royal jerk. He behaves poorly, he is insulting and he is not respectful of his opponents and often not even of his fans. He's entitled and expects star treatment and is childish when he doesn't get it. He and Medvedev are the two poster children in the top 10 for bad sportsmanship, despite being the world #1 and #2.

He can do lots of charity work, to try and cover up his horrible personality, but it's lipstick on a pig.

He's playing pro at 49.

How likely is he to win this appeal?

I think you have him confused for Federer who talks only of how amazing he is. Djokovic consistently gives credit where it's due and is extremely grateful to fans, takes the time to learn local languages etc. Yes, he hates losing. That's why he wins. It is mentally very tough to be at his level. The pressure is almost unbearable. He is stretching the limits of human ability with every game he plays.

Your post smacks of the same condescending attitude displayed by the journalist who asked Serena why she doesn't smile more. (https://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/09/serena-williams-had-the-perfect-answer-to-a-reporter-who-asked-her-why-she-wasnt-smiling)

ATP players who interact with them, like Federer significantly more than Djokovic. Djokovic is not well loved amongst the players. I trust the people who see the most of him by playing against him week in and week out to be the best judge. Djokovic kisses up to reporters and puts on a nice act for them, but he's not very nice to the players.

You are a delusional idiot if you think Djokovic is some kind of nice guy. His behavior at the Olympics was disgusting. He abandoned his mixed doubles partner at the end and is a swarmy self absorbed POS but yes keep drinking the kool aid

Sure which is why he is trying to help younger players unionize. He gains nothing from that, only more criticism.

No worries everyone is used to him being dragged through the mud. Feel free to keep it up.
