Novak Djokovic, a winning machine but with hearts to conquer

Novak Djokovic seemed to have conquered the heart of the public during the last Open of the United States, but its rocambolesco passed through Australia, where the authorities again canceled their visa this Friday, could confirm their unpopularity despite its extraordinary palmraés.

And that the 34 -year -old Serbian has everything to be a mass idol: affable, respectful, available, funny, patriot, good family, intelligent, cultivated, polyglot ...

Objective reasons are sought to explain the heart of the public, which often scans its applause.A minority has even booed it.

Is it perhaps because it is too mechanical?Too predictable?Too defensive?Is it overreacts a lot perhaps?Or may it be perceived as arrogant?It can simply be too strong for the rest.

Nor do they help the public's weakness by Roger Federer or empathy for Rafael Nadal, the two 'intimate enemies' of Djokovic in his career at the ATP circuit.

To a journalist who asked how he took to be considered the "bad" ("Bad Guy") in the persecution of Federer and Nadal, Djokovic replied: "I do not consider myself the bad. That is his opinion."

- Secrets and controversies -

Djokovic continues in full form despite his age.His secret from him?A gluten -free regime for ten years, something paradoxical for the son of a pizzero, an oxygen chamber for recovery, a guru for mental aspects or visits to a mysterious "pyramid" in Bosnia (which is actually a natural hill).

However, its bad reputation has been increasing during pandemic, when it has been skeptical against disease and vaccines.

His decision to organize in mid-2020 a tournament in the Balkans (Adria Tour) was able to be born with the best of intentions, but became a focus of Covid-19 infections, including him and his wife Jelena.

Then he publicly expressed his doubts about the COVID-19 vaccination program, winning the pejorative support of "Novax".

But, together with the controversies, Djokovic has shown great gestures and invests time and effort in his seduction campaign: he jokes with the spectators, signs many autographs, he does not get tired of posing for photos with children ...

It also speaks English excellently, German, Italian and each time a better French.In his first title of him in Roland Garros he drew a big heart with his racket on the beaten earth and in 2020 he gave his racket of victory to a child.

On the track, it is difficult to discuss its greatness, despite a downturn after an elbow surgery four years ago that it even removed it from the top 20 of the ATP ranking.

But now, the Serbian has achieved 20 Grand Slams and a total of 86 titles.He beat the record of weeks in the world number one of Pete Sampras and holds a balance of victories in his favor both against Nadal and against Federer.

In September, the public of the Arthur-Ashe stadium in New York pushed him as never in his failed objective of achieving the great Slam in a calendar year, a support that led him to cry in the middle of the final.

But that honeymoon principle collided with Australia's novel, its medical exemption without being vaccinated to participate in that country's open in a city like Melbourne very affected by confinement measures, and the health, political, diplomatic andDeportivo that followed him.

- Bombards about Belgrade -

With just 7 years old he already affirmed to Serbia television that he wanted to be the number one in the world.

Detected by the mentor Jelena Gencic, who also instilled knowledge of classical music or literature, Djokovic formed in the Belgrade party and then his family made an enormous effort to send him to Germany.

Born in Belgrade in 1987, the young Djokovic was very marked by the experience of the Kosovo War, when he was just 12 years old.

To escape NATO bombings, he spent two and a half months at night in anti -aircraft shelters ... and for the day on a tennis court, since the normal school was closed.

Very patriot, although he prefers to have his residence in Monaco, Djokovic usually defends the image of Serbia and cares about tending ties with the countries of ancient Yugoslavia.
