Years ago someone on Tumblr did a Tennis Players on the Titanic version and I have to say they were spot on about Novak: If anyone wants me to post it on here I will be more than welcome to but here is Novak's.
Novak Djokovic: Everyone in the 1st class hates him because he constantly makes inappropriate jokes and impersonates fellow passengers. Tries to appear brave first, but finally bribes an officer to get a place in the lifeboat.

Ooh yes, please do post that šŸ˜
 
Ooh yes, please do post that šŸ˜
It is quite old as some of these players do not play anymore but here it is:
Roger Federer: Everyone in the 1st class knows him and respects him. Always dressed impeccably, best manners by far, can hold conversation with anyone and not appear snobbish. When the disaster strikes, heā€™s offered a place in the lifeboat but itā€™s out of question heā€™d take it while they are still women and children on board.
Rafael Nadal: While everyoneā€™s having brandy, stuffing themselves in the restaurant and boasting about their wealth, heā€™s in the gym. Joins everyone only after dinner, out of politeness (and to be with Roger). When the ship starts sinking, heā€™s out trying to help everybody. Heā€™s last seen giving his warm coat to a lady.
Sascha Zverev: Half of the 1st class call him ā€œsonā€ despite him not being related to anybody. When the ship strikes the iceberg, heā€™s already asleep, so he appears on board half-dressed and really confused. An officer spots him and figures heā€™s tall and strong and they need men to row, so they put him in a lifeboat. Worst decision ever, because Sascha canā€™t row at all.
Jack Sock: The one merry passenger of the 3rd class who is really nice and polite and wouldnā€™t hurt a fly, but once the ship starts sinking, he will break as many doors and rules as he has to because he will not let the people die.
Andy Murray: Comes from a totally matriarchal family, so doesnā€™t get half of the gentlemenā€™s sexist jokes. Approves of the shipā€™s construction, but constantly complains about the quality of tea. When the disaster strikes, he blames himself for it, just because heā€™s British.
Nick Kyrgios: That one problematic passenger that constantly gets into fights with the crew over trespassing and destroying things. Survives, because itā€™s Nick, and then sues the hell out of the company.
Novak Djokovic: Everyone in the 1st class hates him because he constantly makes inappropriate jokes and impersonates fellow passengers. Tries to appear brave first, but finally bribes an officer to get a place in the lifeboat.
Jeremy Chardy: Doesnā€™t know how he got on the Titanic, probably won the tickets in poker or something. Doesnā€™t know how he got in the lifeboat, probably just wandered there when nobody was looking. Utterly confused all the time.
Diego Schwartzman: The one 2nd class passenger you donā€™t even notice, because he minds his own business. Survives, because in the dark and chaos he gets mistaken for a child.
Denis Shapovalov: The ray of sunshine, having the time of his life on the Titanic. Asks for seconds during dinners and everyone thinks itā€™s cute. Tells everyone there has to be a happy ending, because itā€™s his birthday (April 15th). Literally the last person on board to lose hope.
Dominic Thiem: Too nice and shy for the 1st class smoking room. Spends afternoons drinking tea with elderly ladies, who all want him to marry their granddaughters. When the ship starts sinking, he cries, because he canā€™t save everyone. Survives, but suffers from major survivor guilt.
Grigor Dimitrov: Only there to seduce the ladies, major gold digger, has the largest wardrobe. Is on the Titanic because everyone who means something is on the Titanic, but actually fights with being seasick.
David Goffin: Is so inconspicuous and polite he gets mistaken for a steward a couple times. A brilliant student whoā€™s just graduated and is traveling to see the world and have a break (everything covered by his parents, of course). Helps old ladies and children get in the lifeboats.
Stefanos Tsitsipas: Pretends heā€™s very rich and heir to some estates, an exiled Greek prince or something. In fact heā€™s completely broke because the life he leads is not compatible with his bank account. The last money he spentā€¦ yes, for the tickets. Luckily, will get compensation after the sinking.
Marin Čilić: Had a premonition that the ship will sink, very pessimistic, doesnā€™t even leave his cabin and sleeps with the lifejacket on. Feels the urge to tell everyone ā€œI told you this would happen!ā€ while the ship is sinking.

LOVE IT, thank you! šŸ˜

It also reminded me that earlier today I wondered why the player with the best name of all time - Jack Sock - wasnā€™t playing this year. Turns out he has retired from tennis ā€¦ but is now a ā€˜pickleballā€™ champion. WTF?! šŸ«¤

I laughed the most at Andyā€™s!

Djokovic will easily beat Alex. Urgh I can see him winning it again. They said he would be the oldest man to win it.

Taken from BBC news. I really hope he gets beaten. This is why he is not liked. You would never have Federer, Nadal all even Murray talking about the crowd like this. Djokovic is one of the best players ever, in my opinion. But he just doesn't have the personality to match. What is a shame.

Novak may well have all those match wins and all of those accomplishments but heā€™ll never truly ā€˜winā€™ the crowds and thatā€™s what irks him the most. He absolutely hates it because he cannot win it, and he will have to retire knowing that he was never loved in the same way as the other players of his time. Ultimately he can say ā€˜you canā€™t touch meā€™ (in his post-match interview last night) but his reaction and response to the crowd tells it all. It does bother him otherwise he would say nothing.

I only wish that the crowds would take into account how much worse they make it for his opponents, because it fires him up and he plays even better. šŸ˜‚

the ā€œgooooooooooooood nightā€ he did at the end was just pathetic tbh. and done with no humour whatsoever. nothing says ā€œiā€™m not bothered!ā€ like someone desperately telling you how not bothered they are.

radio 1 compared him to mr burns this morning, which i enjoyed šŸ¤£

replay of the ā€˜talkā€™ at the netā€¦.the way he puts his racket down so Fritz canā€™t get away is so aggressive and intimidating. Apparently he was upset about some people in Fritz box but way to make what wasnā€™t his win about him!


I just watched that back again and the way he used his racket to stop Fritz from leaving because he hadnā€™t finished ā€˜telling himā€™ what he thinks - shocking.
If thatā€™s how he ā€˜controlsā€™ another man on tv in front of millions of watchers around the world, I can only guess at how he behaves when it comes to women, and itā€™s behind closed doors ā€¦

Thatā€™s the thing with Novak, he needs to realise itā€™s things like that interview that make him unlikeable.
I actually donā€™t mind him, I thought his pretend penalty the other day was great and he can be funny, he is undoubtedly, a great tennis player too. He just rubs people the wrong way.

I definitely prefer Novak to Zverev! Could it be another Novak vs Carlos final?

I think as women we've all seen/been around men like this .... there's nothing there you could really call out but you can sense it really isn't a good thing. Me and my friend were both like thats not a friendly chat.

Novak is just a dorky twit compared to Zverev, he's arrogant and wants to win but I don't get aggressive vibes from him
