Yeah rather disrespectful to the OG to regard it is an exho,not to mention all the other all time greats, past and present that have worked really hard to win a medal, try telling that to the likes of Phelps, Redgrave, Bolt etc, just because Novak lost….
Anyway Novak made no secret of the fact, that he wanted to win the Golden slam, something unpresidented that had never been done on the mens side….
Yes, that is true. So it was important to him even if his fans are trying to minimize this loss.
The distinction used by OG minimizers is ATP points or no ATP points. I know because I still use that in my mind. But I’m not minimizing Zverev’s win and Novak’s loss now. It was very clear Novak wanted the gold and everything he could get out of this absurd show. To enjoy it I push out the guilt and my knowing how bad it is for the poorest in the world. What is ironic is that the opening ceremonies feature a refugee contingent in the march now as they did for the 2016 Olympics. 🤦🏼♀️
I expect French riots in Paris if they carry on with this show in 2024. It’s unimaginable that they would not revolt.
They even keep the 2020 symbols and signs up, as if Covid-19 never happened.
👍🏼 ☮ Hello Ali.
Hello my lovely, Elizabeth just wanted to say, I love your passion for tennis, but I especially your caring nature when it comes to trying to make our world a better place to be in, if only there were more people like you 😘
Aw-shucks, Alison. Thanks, but you overestimate me. I do try hard but there is little I can do. It’s still a divided country and I love one voice, the one of Bernie Sanders, for the people. The parties are corrupt. In a way, much is due to misunderstanding on both sides.
One question: Do you like actor, Tom Hiddleston?
Nevermind. I posted on the non-tennis forum to you., Ali.
Zverev said to Djokovic when embracing “he was the GOAT”.
That’s a big call given he never played Fed or Nadal at their very best.
Maybe he got a bit ahead of himself when he was trying to ease Djokovic’s disappointment.
It just goes to show everyone is biased towards their idols, people they get along with most and the best players of their generation.
How much does Djokovic want the bronze medal, that is the question. Backing up the following day after such a tough match wont be easy, and surely Carreno will be the fresher of the 2.
He may have cost himself a US Open by playing the Olympics too. We will see how big a price he will pay going for the golden slam at 34.
I’m waiting for someone to say; “I think Djokovic will be hungry to win it” like Djokovic’s desire is the only variable determining the result.
Necessary but not sufficient.
You won’t get me to say anything like that. I don’t think it’s possible to know Novak’s desire at the moment and there are too many variables on both sides, PCB and Novak’s side to determine the result.
My guess is that PCB will be more fresh and motivated than Novak. Or, my initial guess may be completely off and Novak is hungry and motivated. I can’t read the various minds involved. I don’t know what other Novak fans are thinking. Frankly, I’m content. My #1 won both RG and Wimbledon and has pulled up and parked himself at 20 GS. I could give a toss right now about more. It’s not a pressing matter that he get more GS or another Olympic medal. He looked exhausted after the mixed doubles and his eyes had lost their sparkle. I’d prefer that he go home, hold his family, and relax. Anything else would be odd and confusing right now. So, I am good with waiting to see what he does next.
Djokovic is a demigod. Lol
Ruud should be quite happy if he wins the final,; that’s 3 clay tournaments in a row. He’ll be inside the top 10 soon.
I told you something had to give.

What in the hell is wrong with him? So this time I guess he made sure to not throw it at anybody? Does someone have to get seriously hurt before they put a stop to this disgraceful behavior? It’s not life and death for heaven’s sake!
He never learns.

What kind of disgusting behaviour is this .n then he n his fans say he is not loved like rafa n roger. Who will love such actions .I can’t believe he threw a racquet in the stands esp after a similar behaviour dq himself last year ..
He had a really bad day? In his defense (a place I don’t remember ever finding myself before) the stands were empty so no chance of hurting anyone. Under extreme pressure people need some relief, some release. Rafa and Roger cry, Rafa privately, mostly, Roger spontaneously. Djokovic was apparently forbidden to cry at some point in his life. Unfortunately a lot of kids are taught that real men don’t cry. I’m grateful to Roger and Rafa for proving that real men and real champions can and do cry.
Exactly. Stands empty, no harm done. I think we should acknowledge what extreme pressure can do.
So pleased for Busta 🙂 All these years in the shadows and now, at the end of his career a Bronze! 🙂
Djokovich has had a disastrous Olympics, will be very interesting to see how he re-groups. USOpen is very close.
Oh gosh, same here, Margot! He, naughty Novak, will be “sorted” by then. He has been quite calm, by his standards.
Rc…Djokovic is saying he is injured n played with medications…
Here you go RC…the link https://www.tennismajors.com/others-news/tokyo-olympics/olympics-tokyo-djokovic-no-medal-hopes-fit-us-open-and-already-looking-ahead-to-paris-2024-440407.html/amp?__twitter_impression=true
He sounds tired and confused. Novak is giving is more information than he usually gives. He is on pain medications and trying that plan over and over again without getting to the cause of the pain. Pain pills only mask the pain. I believe he has had the problem for several years and it’s the left shoulder/arm or maybe it’s both arms by now. All I know is he won’t be ready for USOpen at this rate. His serve is affected. He could not even lift his left arm to toss the ball as I recall.
Here is the text of what Novak said:
“I apologise to all the fans in Serbia who I have disappointed. I know everyone expected a medal, I did too. I feel bad for Nina because we did not fight for a medal in mixed, but my body said ’enough’: I have played under medications and abnormal pain and exhaustion. But again, my heart is in the right place, because I know that I gave my all. I love to play for my country. Unfortunately, I did not get the result I wanted, but that is sport, we move on.”
Ramara,
I woke up to a video sent to me of Novak losing it. Honestly, at first, I thought that the behavior was indefensible. Asking myself why do I root for this man and I finally came to similar conclusions. Conclusions are really guessing at the kind of terror he endured growing up in a city under bombardment. Andy Murray hits himself, mutters, curses, and I love him. It’s heart-breaking what he went through after the school shooting. His parents divorced, I guess that he and his brother heard his parents argue/fight too. (Andy’s mom is a strong role model) Anyway, it hurts to see Novak do what he does when he can’t hold back any longer. As you explain, Ramara, Roger cries, and I’d add, Rafa holds it in but he was likely the one with more steady and strong role models, parents plus uncles, aunts…
Rafa mostly falls into the adorable personality category.
Elizabeth,
You make good points about family background. Rafa was very fortunate with both immediate and extended family. Roger has great parents too, but he was very emotional as a young player and acted out on court. When he started to become a star player he decided he didn’t like his image so took himself in hand and improved his behavior a lot. Rafa when asked why he doesn’t act out on court says simply “I wouldn’t have been allowed on court if I acted like that.” Djokovic’s parents aren’t horrible but…well, they’re not exemplary either.
Thank you, Ramara,
Yes, I remember Federer telling that story about how he made himself change his behavior. His family is close I can believe that mom and dad would step in and say enough is enough like Rafa’s parents and Uncle Toni. Novak’s mom speaks out about how they sacrificed his younger brothers so Novak could realize his dream. I would not be happy if one of my parents was broadcasting such a thing.
My gosh, Brad Gilbert talks so much I can’t even think. Stuff a sock in it Brad!
Awesome bit of entertainment. At least he puts on a good show.
Does Carreno Busta like Djokovic? Each time Djokovic does something that might constitute a breach of the rules, he appeals to the umpire.
or maybe he’s just one of these rules-type fanatics that believes disqualification is the same as winning the match fair and square.
I think Khachanov wins at least a set. I don’t think the bookmakers have taken into account Carreno just beat Djokovic.
I get the feeling he also has more of an Olympian mindset than a tennis professional’s mindset.
Speaking of Olympics pedigree noticed Dolgopolov officially retired this year. There’s been a few players that have just disappeared, never to be heard of again. He earned his circa 10m, so he should be more than happy about that.
I think it’s about a 1.80/2.20 match.
The idea that anyone would bring up past difficulties in childhood as an excuse for this behavior, is really disturbing to me. Many people go through tough times growing up. Sometimes people can come out of it as a better person.
So it’s okay this time because there wasn’t anyone in the way? Is that supposed to be a joke? Okay, so a linesperson did not get hit. So it’s just fine! You get upset, loser, things get tough on the court and you have a temper tantrum.
Sorry, not sorry. This behavior is appalling and unnecessary. I guess it’s just Rafa having a better childhood, right? I see. Uncle Toni told Rafa when he was young that he would not tolerate him breaking his racket, uncle Toni was a tough taskmaster. But he wanted his nephew to grow up to be a responsible and respectful person. Rafa was not coddled all the time. He had to learn some hard life lessons. That’s why he is the way he is today.
These days I dont really have a problem with temper tantrums they’ve become part of the theatre nearly all players have done it at some point.Of course racquet and ball abuse is to be condemned when it could result in injury. Others use more subtle gamesmanship . Djoko may be guilty of that, but he’s not alone even among multiple Slam winners.
It’s no excuse to blame behaviour on childhood experiences – but it does have a big influence on people – eg McEnroe was a New Yorker where people are brash and used to shouting for what they want- Jimmy Connors had a tough upbringing sand its reflected in his whooe approach to tennis-I could go on
Thank you, Big Al. Upbringing and parenting are important; if not parenting, someone like a teacher, a mentor, or a respected relative stepping in works. I could tell of my own experience as a stubborn donkey growing up: how it was and who came along make me see the light. But let’s not go there. The Kachanov v Zverev final is on and it’s much more interesting.
But the play from Khachanov is not up to Zverev’s level – no set take by Karen.
It was against Ugo Humbert that Kachanov played his best. Zverev is too good.
I’ve seen many athletes take tough losses and yet congratulate their opponent, not react like Djokovic did. That’s not the spirit of the Olympics.
I agree. That is no excuse fir bad behavior as an adult. Life can bring setbacks or disappointments and being able to cope with it can be challenging.
Many people have survived horrific childhoods and become exceptional adults. Losing a tennis match and the chance for a medal for your country, is a real disappointment. However, it is no excuse for such disrespectful behavior.
My parents were not strict as a rule, but they would not tolerate temper tantrums when things did not go my way. I remember watching tennis with my father decades ago when John McEnroe would have his disgusting rants and tantrums on the court. My father was disgusted by it and told me he would not tolerate it from me or my sister ever. He rarely really angry, but that behavior was simply unacceptable to him. That was a lesson I did not forget,
You picked 1 right and got 7 wrong yesterday for Thursday? 1 out of 8? 😩
