Only on BF, I get to read the most bizarre takes on players. Perhaps, even the most staunch Djokotard on MTF has never made such assertion. And it has nothing to do with being eastern European, or being politically incorrect. Both Goran and Safin despite not as successful as Djokovic were well-liked by the tennis fans at large. Having charisma is not tantamount to vaccine bravado, clown hats, pantomime, grass-eating and victim playing, but rather having the ability to instantly draw an audience that embraces your cause, an aura that fills up a stadium and inspires a generation. When all is said and done, Djokovic might become the most successful player amongst his adversaries. But history will always remember Fedal more fondly.

What kind of "charisma", "entertainment factor" does Nadal have exactly?

Both him and Novak are similar on those grounds if we start dissecting....

See how many times Djokovic has applauded shots from opponents even in most tense moments. You have no clue. I've seen many matches of Federer and Djokovic or Nadal, and the only player that I saw applauding executions from the opponent was Djokovic.

I have rarely if ever seen Federer do this for example. Much more arrogant and proud to do it.

Djokovic is just on another level when it comes to mentality. Man just doesn't break. Sad to see so many of these youngsters on the tour not even have 10 % of the mental willpower of Djokovic.

It's the zoomer generation rised by helicopter parents and woke gestalt. Majority of them will be like this. They will have a level playing field, when the old generation quits and dweebs devoid of personality can fight their equals. Isn't the same kinda happening in football? There aren't many great young larger than life personalities and not much footballing excellence either compared to even decade ago. There are, however, lots of infantile divas and manbabies, who will never be shaped into anything worthy, despite their huge paychecks.

Rafa gonna limp his way to another GS :lol:

The GS in the last 5 years have been the Nadal/Djokovic invitational. 8 wins for Nadal, 9 for Djokovic :lol:

Wimbledon 2020 was cancelled. Djokovic DQed for 2020 US Open. Medvedev with the upset last season are the only non-Nadal/Djokovic GS wins in like 5 years

Still laughing at the Yankee pussies not allowing Novak to play.

Absolute wankers.

Hope Nadal doesn't win any more undeserved titles coz he wouldn't win on this court with Nole around.

Aus Open and US Open utter disgrace.
