Novak Djokovic reveals the trials he faced during the Covid pandemic

Speaking during the 60 minute podcastthe serbian champion Novak Djokovic discussed many topics including the feelings and emotions he experienced during the Covid pandemicfirst to the 2019 Wimbledon final against Roger Federer. The tennis player started the alleged rumor that he wants to grow in the face of adversity, such as a hostile crowd and clarified.

“The stress and nervousness on the field is huge and when you also have the crowd against you, it’s even worse. Many think that I raise my level when I have the crowd against me “But I personally always hope for the full support of my people and of all tennis fans,” he said.

Nole returned to the Covid pandemic, a period in which he was excluded from the Australian Open due to the lack of vaccination and was in the center of the media storm several times. A very difficult period for the Serbian champion, because, as he himself explained, everyone saw him as the bad guy.

“During that period I was the bad guy of the world, I felt like everyone was against me“I’d played with fans against me before, but I’d never felt like the whole world was against me. I had an exemption for the trip to Australia, but in the end it didn’t work out as planned, people called me anti-vax, but that wasn’t the case. I was just for freedom of choice,” he added.

Throughout his career, many of Djokovic’s challenges have become historic and perhaps the one his fans are most attached to is Wimbledon 2019, a match he won after an epic battle against Roger Federer. Returning to that challenge, Nole underlined:

“That challenge is unforgettable for me. It was a great challenge and I can still remember his two match points. He was the best player of the match, but in the end I won.”
