The former German tennis player, Boris Becker has spoken with some media about the situation that is happening with Novak Djokovic for the criticism that the Serbian is receiving and his constant comparison with Rafael Nadal and the Swiss, Roger Federer. A very uncomfortable situation even for fans of the tennis.
This defense for Novak Djokovic by the German Boris Becker occurred because the Serbian fell in the final of the US Open against the Russian tennis player, Daniil Medvedev and stay at the gates of breaking the tie 20 Grand Slam he has with Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal.
Speaking through a podcast, Becker applauded Djokovic’s performance in the tournament despite failing to win the title. “I know Novak as a person and as a professional and I can only say: ‘Congratulations’. He is a great boy and a great competitor who sometimes has a shortcoming on the track, but who doesn’t? “
The German was annoyed with the frequent comparisons between Djokovic, Federer and Nadal, in which the Serbian always appears like the bad one of the film. “The public and the media must get used to the fact that there are three tennis players, and not two, who are great as people and as players.”
He also said: “It is not acceptable that Novak Djokovic is always the bad guy and Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal are always the good guys. That is unfair. And I hope that what happened in the US Open, the final, the speech and the reaction of the public will make Djokovic see from another point of view ”.
Becker spoke of the respect Djokovic has for other players. “He publicly defended Tsitsipas after the semi-final with Medvedev and supports other players. This is something that is not talked about. I hope for him and for his family that he is treated more fairly from now on ”.
