He did not celebrate in front of Medvedev. What a sportsmanship and showed great respect towards his opponent.

[@JJ-kj4dy]

The man is blessed by God. All his enemies crumbled. The US crowd that hated him so many times, now loves him. Andy that talked so much smack, fat from retirement, handing him the trophy... Big Pharma that he openly rejected and that had him imprisoned like a common criminal...hands over their money to him. All old enemies faded into nothing, all new ones defeated once again. Even the media, that took cheapshots during his worst moments, finally defeated. May God continue to bless him. He gave hope to us Serbs in the hardest of times.

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

Think about how great Medvedev is. Now think about 24 Grand Slams. Agassi and Federer will always be my favorite players because of their style of play, but no one on earth can deny how unbelievable Novak's accomplishments are, and history will reassure us all of this fact. What an amazing athlete and human Novak Djokovic is.

Medvedev is considered the tennis player with the worst behavior in tennis ever and with the biggest penalties! He shouts, swears, insults, fights... In the last match, Danil fell at the net and Novak approached him and offered his hand like a real fair play athlete, and Danil refused him!!!

True or from any other player from golden era and this new one.. he is one of the few thats disrespectful to people older than him but that comes from te house and how his parents thought him. If a serbian kid was behaving like that his parents would slap him in front of everyone so he would never do it again. Celebrating is one thing ofc but disrespecting older and more experienced players while you got born basically yesterday...

with 3300 points ahead of Carlos year end No. 1 is basically secured , when Nole is allowed to compete he gets to almost 12000 points as no.1 , wins slams amd makes finals , when he isn’t allowed to compete you get a 19 yo kid as world no.1 with 7000 points 😅😅😍🔥💪🏻
