djokovic is saying a lot more lady TT:
1. he said very specifically that he likes chances against anybody from the baseline.
2. he said surface does not matter. he is ready. anywhere, anytime.
3. I think he said something to the effect that "wawrinka stole his court at RG". that was a foolish thing to say in my estimation but he did say it.
wawrinka earned that victory with his game and with his heart and by his proper positive mindset.
and most importantly he earned it off the courts: he worked very hard to prepare for that deep run for the title at RG.
Wow, he's so cocky it's hard to be happy for him. That's what I don't like about Novak. He has all of these different faces and personas. He's too full of himself. He's a great player, always has been, but there's underneath the surface that colors his entire personality.
Those matches that Stan won against him, Stan won fair and square. Give credit where credit is due. After that win at RG when he came to the net he said, "I have so much respect for you." Then, months later he says, "Stan stole my RG" as if Stan had no business winning? Ridiculous. It's hard for me to imagine that Novak will prosper from this type of attitude in the end, because he lacks humility. He doesn't seem to realize that anything can happen and anyone can end up with a life threatening injury at any time. His attitude is such a turn off to me.
He will never be regarded in the highest esteem like many of the other players; even in his dominance he is not universally loved. He needs to wonder why?
rafa and Federer will go down in history as the most popular tennis players ever.
and among the most popular global athletes of all time.
Jordan, Messi, and Ronaldo are the most popular athletes on the globe.
