Novak Djokovic has had a rocky image among tennis fans ever since he emerged as one of the best players in the world.
While his tennis was always spectacular and nothing short of iconic, his image in the world of tennis has been somewhat shaky. Some of that is his own doing, as he never really backed away from speaking his mind and holding firm to his beliefs no matter how controversial they seemed.
He's never actively pursued controversy but he was never given a fair chance either. He was quite receptive towards the fans and very likeable early on in his career yet never well-liked. It's something that visibly bothered him for a while, but eventually, he just gave up.
He stopped trying to force people to like him, focusing on being as authentic as he could be. Victoria Azarenka talked about the Serb recently on the Up Front...

Victoria Azarenka appeared on a podcast recently, and she reflected on Novak Djokovic and the lack of respect for his achievements.
Novak Djokovic always faced a very problematic thing, and that's messing up the perfect tennis rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Just as fans started to get used to the ideal rivalry between two beloved players on the Atp Tour, here came Djokovic bursting the bubble for millions of fans.
It's something most fans never quite forgave, especially those proclaiming loyalty to Federer and Nadal. Despite not being warmly welcomed and still discredited to this day, Djokovic kept doing what does best - playing really good tennis. By 2023, he's probably put together the greatest tennis career we've ever seen, but he still doesn't get the credit.
Appearing on the Up Front podcast with Simon Jordan recently, his colleague from the Wta Tour, Victoria Azarenka, talked about that. She's not the only one,...
