Despite clinching his 24th Grand Slam title, the debate around Novak Djokovic‘s G.O.A.T. status is proof enough to show that he is not everyone’s favorite. However, that is something that has never held him back from continuing to be the best on the court. Djokovic has continued to raise the bar of the sport by competing against budding players in the most grueling matches as well. This never-say-die spirit has made the former coach of Serena Williams, Rennae Stubbs, raise a glass to him.

The Australian tennis coach recently hailed Djokovic for not focusing on getting everyone’s approval. Establishing his legacy and raising the competition for even the younger players, he has proved what it takes to be the best!

Former coach of Serena Williams hails Novak Djokovic for his carefree attitude

The Serbian tennis legend has become the talk of the town after his astounding feat of clinching 24 Grand Slam titles. However, on the other hand, there are fans who are still hesitant to consider him as the G.O.A.T. But Djokovic has not paid any heed to that perspective and this approach has received a shout-out from Rennae Stubbs.

In ‘The Rennae Stubbs Tennis’ podcast, she stated, “I admire him for not wanting to be the favorite. Not wanting to be the one that everyone loves.” She added, “He tries but it just this is not in his nature.” Furthermore, she commented on the player for his resilience on the court. Stubbs stated, “But you have to give the guy unbelievable credit for putting in the work, man, at that age.” She continued, “To be able to handle these guys in best of 5 sets. He’s a credit to sport in that way he raises the bar.”

This indeed is true. Djokovic has persevered against all sorts of challenges on the court. However, he also notices the biased patterns that are not in favor as compared to other players.

Djokovic talks about the strikingly clear bias of the sporting fraternity

The Serbian tennis legend now has 24 Grand Slam titles. Such a feat, even legendary players like Serena Williams and Roger Federer have fallen just short of. Nonetheless, the popularity of Djokovic is far lower than these players.

Pointing out this fact, he stated while talking to the Serbian media that the bias is because of his nationality. If he was from the West, he would have been glorified in the sporting realm a long time ago. Crowd favor has never been the Serb’s winning suit.
