Novak Djokovic’s supporters criticize Rafa and Federer once again, this time in relation to the number of tennis rackets they have broken. The three athletes, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic, have established themselves as prominent figures in the history of the sport. Commonly referred to as the ‘Big Three,’ they have left an indelible mark on the game, garnering admiration from many. However, opinions regarding the rivalry between these three players vary. While some believe that their competitive spirit remains confined to the court, others argue that they maintain a friendly demeanor outside of it.
The dynamic between Rafa and Federer can be likened to that of close friends. However, their relationship with Nole has experienced highs and lows. According to an account named cestlaviemacher, who appears to be a fan of Djokovic, both Nadal and Federer displayed rudeness and aggression towards him during his early years. Additionally, Federer has been accused of belittling Djokovic even after losing to him. In response to a post by Luigi Gatto praising Rafa for not breaking a racket in anger, the fan retweeted the post with a critical comment.
I prefer witnessing the occasional broken racket rather than someone who struggles to maintain self-control and resorts to passive-aggressive comments during press conferences or displays various tics during matches. That’s not self-control; it’s repressed frustration and obsessive-compulsive disorder. 🙃 pic.twitter.com/Lv45biQgXx
This is a reaction to someone’s arrogance and disrespect towards Djokovic. Federer and Nadal exhibit passive-aggressive behavior without justification; it is simply a reflection of their personalities. Federer frequently targeted a young Djokovic and consistently discredited him as a player after losing.
As a result of these posts, numerous Djokovic fans have expressed their displeasure towards Rafa and Federer. Some fans have even gone as far as claiming that their expressions towards opponents are insincere. On the other hand, there are groups of fans who continue to support the two veteran players.
You’re absolutely right! The more broken rackets, the more broken records! We’ll gladly accept them anytime! Novak is the greatest of all time, and they can’t handle it!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I couldn’t watch Nadal play due to his obsessive-compulsive disorder. I’d rather watch someone with occasional outbursts of anger than a control freak. However, I must admit that my opinion is biased, as I’ve never been a fan of Nadal and his “vamos” 😏
They are extremely anxious when they see this one: pic.twitter.com/GgaDejoZks
Yeah, it’s typical of you guys to always blame Novak Djokovic. Nothing new. But the reality is that Federer is very arrogant.
I admire Novak Djokovic 🐐
People from the Balkans are often emotional and expressive. They wear their hearts on their sleeves. With Novak, we see the genuine person behind the racket, not a fake, overly repressed personality.
Anything related to Novak is blown out of proportion by the media and his detractors.
I disagree… I like Novak, and I don’t like Loserer and Dopal, but I definitely prefer self-control.
Setting aside fan sentiments and politics, there is no denying the greatness of these three players. With Federer already retired and Nadal preparing to bid farewell to the game, their era is drawing to a close.
