A peculiar disparity has emerged within the ATP’s promotional landscape. While tennis maestro Novak Djokovic boasts an illustrious record, the ATP seemingly sidelines him in their promotional endeavors. They often favor other players. This unspoken bias has lingered despite Djokovic’s undeniable dominance. This sparked a simmering frustration among his loyal fanbase.
It's such a bad look. Djokovic is the 10 time reigning @AustralianOpen champion, they along with the @atptour have chosen to ignore Djokovic in all their headers. They don't even attempt to hide their bias against Djokovic.

He tweeted: “😂😂😂this guy is born to defend someone that doesn’t even know him. C’mon brother there is a life out there enjoy lifeee.” He dismissed the intensity of Pavvy G’s concern. However, the exchange didn’t end there. Another fan jumped into the fray, challenging Moutet’s perspective.
In their words: “He’s not just defending ‘someone’; he is defending important principles like fairness, professionalism, truth. One can enjoy life, fight for principles and denounce unfairness at the same time. Try it!” This retort unveiled a deeper layer to the debate. It brought forth the clash between the loyalty of fans and the principles they believe their tennis idol embodies.
