Throughout his career, World No. 2 Novak Djokovic has encountered relentless bashing, trolling, and even booing from fans during crucial matches. Despite often playing second fiddle in terms of fan favoritism, the Serbian tennis maestro has consistently defied the odds and triumphed in every critical situation, putting his unwavering resilience on display.

According to Djorde Djokovic, breaking Novak’s focus and concentration is an immensely challenging task, as he rates his brother’s mental strength as the finest in the sports industry. Djorde emphasized Novak’s love for challenges and marveled at his ability to maintain composure under immense pressure. Djorde proudly stated, “We Djokovics are stubborn. Even when we have moments like Novak had countless times in his career, where everyone is against him.”

Djorde Djokovic shared that witnessing how Novak handles challenges and injustices provides their family with strength. Despite facing difficult situations and perceived injustices, they remain resilient in their support for Novak, never backing down and always striving for victory.

He added, “That gives us strength for some reason. I’m quite emotional and I keep everything inside until I explode. It’s not easy, it’s emotional and I really think it’s a great injustice, that they treat us, the way they treat us. He experienced a great injustice in Australia, where we as a family just didn’t give up on Novak. Always, whatever the situation, we try to break through that situation, but we will never retreat, but go for victory. If they defeat us, we will congratulate, but it is a difficult and long road for that side.”

Despite his remarkable dominance in tennis over the past decade, Novak Djokovic has often been overshadowed by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the eyes of fans. Despite his impressive achievements on the court, Djokovic has not always received the full appreciation he deserves.

Throughout his career, he has consistently set the bar higher than anticipated, achieving unprecedented success. As Federer has retired and Nadal approaches the latter stages of his career, the likelihood of another player emerging like Djokovic seems improbable.

One of the key factors that have propelled Novak Djokovic to the pinnacle of tennis is his unwavering focus and determination in the face of hate and criticism. Djokovic has openly acknowledged the hate he receives on the court and surprisingly mentioned that he thrives on it.

Despite being known as a supportive and fun-loving individual among his peers, he has been subjected to booing from fans regardless of the tournament or his opponent. However, instead of letting this negativity deter him, Djokovic uses it as fuel to bring out the best in his performances.
