However, the fans of these two players are on the other end of the spectrum with a lot of hatred and an unhealthy atmosphere. Often the tennis world sees the fans of these two players having verbal arguments and talking trash to one another. But on the contrary, all three players – Roger, Rafa, and Nole have a wonderful relationship and great mutual respect for each other.

Novak came into the Australian Open after winning the Adelaide International. However, he suffered a hamstring injury during one of the practice sessions. And since then speculations around the fans and tennis world have started that he might withdraw from the Major. However, he proved that all those were just rumors by participating in the first round of the Australian Open.

Ever since he only got better and better with his injury and moved comfortably on the court. Fans expected his injury to get bigger due to the highly intense matches happening. No player had answers to Novak’s game and couldn’t even give tough competition to the Serbian. He eventually won his tenth title here at Melbourne Park and once again proved that this Major is his favorite.
