Renowned American YouTuber IShowSpeed labeled Serena Williams and Tiger Woods as the best tennis players ahead of Novak Djokovic. This comes after he was trolled by the Serbian tennis ace during the Ballon d’Or 2023 ceremony. IShowSpeed also looked frustrated at the fact that everyone keeps trolling him.
In his latest live stream, the American YouTuber searched for Novak Djokovic on the internet and when he got to know that the 36-year-old is the current best tennis player in the world, he was miffed. He then played the video of them meeting at the 2023 Ballon d’Or ceremony where Djokovic is heard introducing himself as an AC Milan player.
IShowSpeed then went ranting about the fact that Djokovic lied to him. He was so frustrated that he could not even pronounce Djokovic’s name correctly. The YouTuber then rued the missed opportunity to click a picture with the best tennis player in the world currently.
Notably, during their meeting at the Ballon d’Or ceremony where Novak Djokovic was invited to present the women’s Ballon d’Or, the Serbian trolled the American YouTuber. While introducing himself as the new AC Milan player who is yet to make his debut, Djokovic also said that he will go for a hattrick.
Novak Djokovic gears up for ATP Finals while IshowSpeed labels him behind Tiger Woods in tennis
While the American YouTuber labels Novak Djokovic behind Tiger Woods in tennis, the Serbian ace gears up for the season-ending championship, the ATP Finals in Turin. Djokovic has been training at the Pala Alpitour for the group-stage clashes against Jannik Sinner, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Holger Rune.
The Serbian is chasing a record-breaking seventh title at the season-ending tournament. Currently, the 36-year-old is tied with Roger Federer with six ATP Finals titles. If Djokovic emerges victorious in Turin, he will become the player with the most ATP Finals titles.
Djokovic is also close to securing his record-extending eighth ATP Year-End No. 1. If the Serbian ace manages to accomplish the feat again this year, Djokovic will become the first player in the ATP Rankings history to reach 400 weeks at World No. 1. The only other man to hit the 300-weeks mark is Federer (310).
The 36-year-old Serbian ace is also eyeing his 98th tour-level title and inch closer to his ambition of pipping Jimmy Connors in terms of possessing the most tour-level titles. Notably, only Federer (102) and Connors (109) are now ahead of the Serbian on the list.
