A man who is authentic and shows his true emotion and realness on the court. I feel I relate and warm to Djokovic more, someone who came from humble beginnings and has battled adversity to become the champion he is. For me Novak is a man of the people, what you see is what you get. There is no fake media persona. It may not have been his day today, but he will bounce back and show once again why he is a champion and legend of the sport. I know who my GOAT is.
What a champ, I am not a huge fan of Novak, yet this guy has special moments of maturity that is present at the hardest moments. This loss isn’t easy to swallow.
@@julinho218 Not quite. He managed to hold it together,just. Last night was different. It was the only time I have seen him cry. But, it was genuine, human, like being at a funeral. Man under serious serious stress.
for sure he knew well it is his last game on this USO, he could do nothing against Meddy, and his historical achievement was ruined. That is why he cried
In sports, you win some, you lose some. Still have to hand it to Djokovic for winning 3 Grand Slams out of 4 this year. That was a remarkable feat and a great accomplishment. I know you’ll come back stronger next year. Keep strong and keep going. 👊
When Daniil couldn't serve out the match first time and lost one of the two breaks he had, it wasn't wrong to still believe that Novak could break again and make a comeback. That's how scary Djokovic is! Couldn't make history today, but he's had a fantastic year.
The crowd should be called out for their disrespect. You can still be a fan of Novak while respecting calls for quiet by the umpire during serves from the opponent. Daniil played through the noise ultimately and secured the win.
@@anthonycbrown1952 I don't understand why pointing it out now that it happened one time. It's useful now honestly. Cause Djokovic received that every time.
There may be Actually 2 Things were Missing = 1. Today's Crowd is Surprisingly Not against Him 2. Opposite Player's Name Chanting at Crucial Time like "Roger..Roger..Roger" 😂
I was there. My first time seeing tennis live. There was a lot of Serbs supporting him, like every tenth. I did not know there are so many in New York. But really I screamed my voice off to support this man. And a lot of people as well. Especially when we saw his surprised face. Everybody wanted Novak to win. But when Med wins everybody started cheer him out, because everybody felt respect for him as well to overcome such a pressure. That was impressive! Amazing experience.
Cheer up Novak, it was amazing year. I've been a fan of you since you were 19 years old. I supported you for your obvious amazing talent and wonderful personality, even in this early age. You've always been graceful whether you win or lose. I watched you lift your first Masters trophy in Miami in March 2007 and have followed your journey since then until now. For me, you will always be the greatest tennis player ever
Hey Ahmad, well said, exactily what I feel right now! Novak stays really special for me personality wise and as a professional tennis player and will stay so for me for more slams!!!
Ahmad, he is already for us, but I think he will make sure nobody has doubt about this. That's why it was so stingy that he didn't make 21st and 4 gs in a year. That's what Federer and Nadal don't have. But he's going to win more so I don't worry ❤️
Same for me too! He is my absolute favorite, and whatever people say he is just human and has emotions, couldn’t finish watching the match, it just broke my heart to see him losing, but I guess he will bounce back now that the pressure of a golden slam is over, more victories to come ♥️
Very inspiring, I hope his hunger for slams is still there. Even though he lost today, 2021 is still an astonishing season for him with all those new records created.
Djokovic don't run for numbers ... but quality :) His main goal is the Calendar Grand Slam ;) For that reason i doubt . I used to consider that this US was the last chance for Djokovic or Nadal. Next'gen is pushing hard :)
I have never seen him so tired. His legs were clearly not there. I was hoping he would dig deep and find it, but dropping so many sets really took a toll, especially the 5-setter against Zverev. Congrats to Daniil, he played a perfect game.
There was NO WAY he was going to be running all over the place tracking Med's shots. Look at how hard he had to work just getting to the finals. He should just take the rest of the year off and refresh and start new in January. Seriously, take some time off. Winning 3 slams in one year is NOT a trifling matter.
@@rosechepes9298 im not a serb but love this guy!! Sad fir him but thats life. Same time he is genuinely happy for Medvedev. He us a true gentleman unlike the others (2)
Djokovic won many GS finals the same way Medvedev won today. In the past, at the other side of the bracket in semis they had to fight for their life, and then had to play the final against a fresh Djokovic who played very well.
Why do I like Djokovic more when he loses than when he wins? I know why: when he loses he never makes excuses, and his humble self is in full display, that’s why. A total gentleman he’ll be back. 👍🏼🎾🎾🎾
Jeez he’s handled this loss better than I imagined. Still has to sting brutally but I’m sure there’s a bizarre relief in no longer shouldering that immense pressure. Let’s see how next season shakes out, might have him play at a higher overall level without the excess pressure of the golden calendar slam.
I feel that it is going to get tougher and tougher to win slams but he is for sure going to have more chances. I am not so sure it was the pressure today but the accumulated fatigue both physical and mental. Semis against zverez was tough whereas Medvedev won in straight sets. Plus he has played everything this year and right until the end everywhere he has been.
He's definitely going to win more championships, I actually think he has at least 5 GS left in him. But he definitely won't get another GREAT shot like this at the calendar slam because of that French Open. This year was PERFECT for him!
I'M relieved it's over too... I found all the media hype suffocating, so I can't even imagine what Novak went through. But seriously so impressive how he handled himself throughout with a lot of integrity and grace, except for one racket smash in the end, but that just shows he's human. He won 3 out of 4 slams this year and won the hearts of a lot of new fans... he didn't need to win the match, he got the love. More great things to come.
He was crying because crowd finally understood what were they cheering for. And he almost never received crowd support because he dominated crowd's favorites his whole career.
@@mv0921_ for sure he knew well it is his last game on this USO, he could do nothing against Meddy, and his historical achievement was ruined. That is why he cried
@@КолоколРоссии Nope. It was because he suddenly felt the overwhelming support of the crowd that hated him so much over the years, when he played Fed and Rafa there. He just couldn't believe his eyes, and broke him into tears. He finally received the well-deserved love that was reserved for the other two champs for so long.
@@КолоколРоссии He just said why he cried! I think you need to listen to this interview again, and his trophy ceremony speech on the platform?? I know he was telling the truth and it was just as important as the slam -if not more, I know that sounds odd but if you followed him for many years you will know how bad he has craved that support and recognition, that he finally got it, and for what it’s worth it was more important than the win because he realizes what’s truly important and tonight that touched his heart and soul more than winning would have
Wow one of the best interviews. His English is impeccable. The first time I felt something for hm cause I am a Fedal fan. I admire his honesty n grace on his defeat.
This comment section is filled with so much supportive and positive sentiments. This is what sport is, sometimes social media gets too negative. Very heartening to see ❤️
Social media is full of hate most of the times and it takes me until wee hours in the morning to report those kind of comments. And, you check it out the next day and the bullying and cursing comments is still there. That's why I like it more when comments are disabled.
Glad to see that Djokovic is still motivated to continue winning more slams in the future. Whether you like him or not I’m sure that Novak will be playing in many more finals.
Yeah but he'll never be the goat now. This was his best chance and he played his worst match ever. He should talk less at conferences and focus on improving his pathetic serve.
@@petemitchell9996 He is the GOAT for now. Most weeks at #1. A record 7 years ending at #1. Won all 9 masters. 36 Masters tied with Nadal. Tied with 20 Slams
I LOOOOVE THIS GUY!! SUCH A WISE, GREAT HUMAN BEING. NO ONE CAN DENY HIS GREATNESS AS A SPORTSMAN, BUT THIS LOSS PROVES WHAT KIND OF GOLDEN SOUL HE'S GOT.
YES! That is true, Novak is already GOAT and that have said both Russians: Zverev (by Russian origin), when he lost against Novak in SF and Medvedev who deservedly won the US Open!-So, they are the top trio of world tennis!-Three great personalities and characters!!!-With the standings: No1, No2 and No3, Novak as GOAT and when he finishes his career, in the future Medvedev and Zverev will fight for the position of No1 in the world tennis!!!
The real statement from the real person as Medvedev!, great player and great person who knows how to respect and approve the greatness of Novak -calling/proclaiming him ( as winner of US Open)-GOAT!!!-Bravo, Danil Medvedev , RESPECT!!!-That is the way how younger champ promotes the older champ-GOAT!-Medvedev is together with Zverev -the future No.1 of the world tennis!!!
@@matadorlksh no, because in most sports there is another person who can alleviate tension one is feeling if they need it. With tennis, once it creeps in it can strangle unlike most most other sports. Tennis at this level requires a constancy and combination of relaxation and adrenaline that is quite unique.
@@antoinev9733 I wish the history hadn't been a factor and it was just another major title up for grabs. As a fan of the game, but not the players, I was disappointed. On any other day, this would have been a 5 set nail-biter. The pressure was just too much for him.
I love this man as much as a mere fan can love a given athlete. I'm sad that he lost the match, sure, but I like Meddy, who's not a bad guy to lose to. For every disheartened Djoko fan, there's a happy Meddy one: so it is and has to be. We Djoko fans, instead of dwelling on this loss, need to honor Novak and thank him for all the great moments he's given us, some of the greatest moments ever witnessed on a tennis court. To me, his decency as a human being is beyond question. I think that only fools would disagree with that. To Novak: I think you're as great in defeat as you are in victory. Thanks for the thrills that come with the victories and the lessons learned from the defeats.
@@jazzyrampras2384 The man has a fire in him that few others could even begin to call up. What he does to generate the stuff from within to compete at the level that he competes at is none of my business and way beyond my ability--and yours--to understand. So, yeah, I think he's the greatest in defeat and in victory. Let "greatness" do its own thing and be critical of it when you can consider yourself an equal to it, not before. That's my take, my friend.
Jazzy, sounds like you didn't watch the match. The o.p. was about Djokovic, not the collection of petty greivances you clutch as you mourn his dominance, not the caricature of him that lives rent free in your head.
I've never been a fan of Djokovic. I've always been a fan of Federer. But in this final, Djokovic showed a side of him we've never seen before. Great champion. 🙏🏻
He may have lost one of the most important slams in his life, but he won something much more important this tournament: the love and respect of all, something he has been chasing his whole career
That probably costed him the match. He had no idea how to managed a full crowd behind him. He's used to give them death stares and tell them off to pump himself up lol
@@rafagoat575 No. He was just exhausted after playing a 5 setter against Zverev with a very short turnaround. But Daniil played superbly well. But there wasn’t much competition from Nole this time round. Looking forward to seeing them play again a more competitive match.
My coach is Jovana Jovic a long time very close friend of Novak. She says no one truly understands what a generous and supportive person he is. Among other endeavors Novak funds young Serbian tennis players to give them their best chances to succeed.
Heads up Champ....you are the living embodiment of inspiration, of never giving up , yet being so humble and gracious in defeat.....we fans thank you for everything you do on and off the court. You are the best and we still have a long way to go. Lead the way champ🙌🐐
I'm a major Rafa fan but Djoker is awesome. Tough loss for Nole and his fans but he still has had a spectacular season and career and will forever be one of the all-time greats.
Novak you are my hero, the greatest inside court also outside, what a level of player, person and soul you are, just amazing... sports needs more players with this mentality 💜
well now he knows how federer felt in 2019 wimbledon, nonetheless he will come back stronger! wishing to see more of the big 3 for many many more years THANK YOU for what you're doing for the sport
Totally agreed. The mark of a real champion to be so balanced and analytical of his performance and emotions, and be able to talk about the state of grassroots tennis, a short while after coming off court. Well done Novak D.!
He is definitely an emotional player and a player that give it his all; time, body, mind and effort. Those tough lessons certainly have been motivation because he wouldn't have stayed so long or won as many trophies if the losses didnt motivate him.
@@Juliette_4 Have you seen how all these gymnastic, swimming, track and field, tennis and athletes of all kind speak about depression, mental health, etc? Playing at his level, what is at stakes, all that depends on his body, playing ability are all tasking and what goes on in their personal life all builds up. Like he said in the interview, he is happy that it is all over and didn't want to talk about it before the finals.
@@lluhu Why is breaking rackets bad, it's part of the fun watching tennis, just watch clips of it like Bagdhatis smashing 4 rackets at a changeover, hehe.
@@lluhu how much of a snowflake do you have to be if breaking rackets presents a reason for not liking him. You barely say anything about the sportsmanship that he shows towards his opponent during and after the match.
I feel for you Nole, even though I was rooting for Med. Find some peace and rest for yourself. You are still one of the goats and a great tennis player.
The problem for him is that he does not like to be called one of the greats. He wants to be called the GOAT and that’s why he lost today and at olympics as his arrogance came to haunt him. And age will catch him soon.
@@vidyasonavane9602 is he supposed to lie about his achievements? Don’t confuse honesty with arrogance. He is more gracious and humble in defeat than any other player. No fake modesty there, unlike some.
Nole you are more than special! Please never stop being your loving self🙏🏼this world need love and humility, I wanted you to win but in a certain way you have won today. Thanks for giving us so much of you 🏆
Novak ... You are also very special...,unique young sport's man .. brilliant tennis player, great attitude, wonderful soul, fantastic nature, lovable son, husbant and parent ... You are the great young guy n man who radiate such a positive and great energy all around where ever you appear!! You are a huge sincere creature. You suppose to be a role model of new coming generations ... Thank you for being here with us!! We truly Love Y0u 🍀❤️🤗
as fans it has been an excruciating year so i cant even imagine what he was going through mentally and physically. yes he’s the mental giant but that doesn’t make him immune to pressure. there will be moments where he will succumb to it like today and it just shows that he’s human! sure feeling sad that it didn’t work out but going at a calendar year grand slam is in itself a huge deal! very proud of him for what he has achieved throughout the year! i hope he takes a well deserved rest after this. sending all the strength and love his way!! heads up nole you’re a champ! lets keep going upward🤍
Dear Novak, I've always been a huge fan of yours and this defeat (to a huge Medvedev....playing perfect) will not change anything. Keep on doing what you do in the way you've done until today....disappointment passes by...being a champion remains....you do not need to demonstrate anything to anyone, you're among the greatest players in history at that's a fact. You're an example to many kids starting to play because of you...that's the greatest achievement of your marvelous career. Come on!!!
Very impressed by the composure, honor and grace that he's displaying in defeat. This is a long interview and lack of sincerity would show. He remembers the important things, and probably chief among them are the fans. He's quick to be humble in defeat and very gracious towards his opponents, both young and old. Say what you will about the current breed of tennis player in general, and Novak in specific, but he exhibits far more class in defeat than the feisty players of the past. And I'm a fan of said feisty players from the past, yet most of this current generation, Novak included, are true gentleman of the sport.
Novak appears more human in this interview post-championship match. as far as the tennis world goes, he no longer has to prove anything at all. the hope is that he will play for the sheer joy of the sport and that he would stop needing validation. he already has it on the court. now, off court...he needs to pay attention to some things. he seems to have appreciated the New York crowd in a way that never was the case. time to just relish the game and be happy with being up there with Federer and Nadal. all three combine for 60 grand slam titles, for heaven's sake!!! that is never going to happen again, not ever.
dude, you know how difficult the emotions are at that level? i seriously thought he was gonna snap, but kept it together. like he said, you cant win every single game.
Novak, just wait for 2022! I know you can and you will! I am honored once again that have supported you since your were 18 years old! You are a legend my friend. No one can beat that. I couldn't stop my tears fallen down last night, because i could feel the pressure you were having, i even couldn't make it watch to the end. Can not imagine how it must have been for you. Many more years to go! for sure! Don't you ever even think about stepping down! Younger generations must see how it is to keep their career continously better over the years, keep their ryhtm sustainable. That is what you achieved. By not giving up at all. Against all odds, all cheers against you for all those years. Don't forget all those matches you played in Roland Garros against all disrespectful crowd, you made several times you will and can do it again. We must remember that your draw and duration at this tournament put you in a very unlucky position. We as your fans should all forget what happened and be there for you in the next years. Many more years.
"The greatest teacher failure is". Novak won something priceless yesterday. And it occured by losing maybe "the" most important match. Force is not always where we think. This lesson can not be forgotten. Very happy for him. 👍👍👍
Djokovic showing time and time again win or lose his is a class champion and you may not have got the calender grand slam but I feel you will take away a much better feeling in what the crowd gave to you, all the best novak, Medvedev was just the better player on the day, you can play freely once again now the pressure is off it was nice to see you smiling at the end of the match
Including his drama and antics.. Like you.. He not only lost to. Super man.. In 3 straight sets... Over world TV.. He lost his cool and the kids here and. All over call him. Mentally unstable as. Within a span of 3 hours.. He speaks well.. Then slowly bitter.. Then explodes by. Breaking his racket violently... My kids asked me... Is this the great Novak GOAT is?? They made me switch off... As they thought he acted violently... He did hurt line boys.. Judges and somebody else... Just look at. Roger. Nadal... Murray.. Play the sport...
As a Djokovic fan, I can tell that he would give half of his Grand Slams to be as loved and accepted by fans as much as Roger and Nadal are. You could understand that his statement about being the happiest man was not a lie as perhaps for the first time in his career on the biggest stage, he got ACCEPTED and cheered by the fans. Congrats Nole, you are truly the GOAT
A lot of people disappointed, a lot of toxic haters saying he's not the goat... Can we just take a minute to think about how he had 3 slams in a year and one final at his 34? You can only applaud Novak. If you think this is a failure you have personal issues
What a man, athlete, champion, role model and a human... he is well spoken, respectful, inspiring, grateful, humble, motivating, resilient... i just cant put it into words how he developed from a jocker that always gave me a smile, a laugh to a Legend inspiring everyone everywhere. i don't care it he makes history or not.
I was there! First time live, biggest tennis stadium in the world, very historic moment, 21st slam for Novak or first for Med, doesn’t matter, still historic. Amazing experience! Every tenth fan was serb. I did not know there are so many serbs. But, yeah, I felt that love. Everybody wanted him to win, especially when we saw his reaction to crowd screamed their voices off, when he looked surprised and loved like he said for the first time ever in New York. That was best moment of the match even if he lost. That going to stay with him and I am glad I was a small part of it!
You’re exactly right! I was there too and you could see his reaction to the people in the crowd, you could see that he was so moved by the love… I couldn’t be more of a Nole fan (and was one of those screaming nuts 🤣), usually feel crushed if he loses, but yesterday was different. It was sad but also beautiful and special, and it somehow felt OK. Daniil is also awesome so it was nice for him to win.
Even though I'm a Rafa fan, I'm still sad, nole couldn't complete it. When Nole teared up towards the ending of the 3rd, is the most emotional I've felt when my players arch rival is playing. Nole your a class act a mental giant, a gracious champ in defeat, I run out of superlatives for you. Kudos champ for coming so close.
@@johnjeffers1524 : I'll tell you what I'm not, I'm for sure not delusional and I appreciate these champs for what they bring. Something doesn't seem like you can. Once you do you'll appreciate what an era you getting to witness. Rafa is and always will always be my hero!
Never heard Djokovic speak like this before and woo Me so easily! Wow! Amazing responses to all questions asked and I simply just Love him now! I wish you so much Best ahead Djokovic! :)
Dear Novac - I will be rooting for you 100% to win another major and be the undisputed GOAT. You won me over with the grace and dignity you displayed throughout the entire US Open in victory and defeat. When you broke the racket, we who play tennis know you were only mad at yourself. Much love sir...
@@YeTism look my fellow Memento Mori unnus friend, there is no problem in appreciating the great game of Federer. There is a reason all of this youngsters are now using the style of grip roger uses, Tsistipas-Alcaraz-Raducanu ect ect. (also have you watched tennis for 15 years?)
Big man. A very special person. Novak came of age tonight. I think next year he will win more and feel the love: a new beginning. The occasion beat him tonight but no way is he finished.
And I think he cried because he probably felt the crowd down...similar reaction to Olympics where he felt he let Serbia down and rarely we see him cry in his losses as his opponents are usually the ones being cheered for.
Novak rarely loses, and slam level losses for Novak are even more rare. But when he does lose, he always has nice words for the opponent and always loses with grace. A true champion even when he doesnt win. What a season he had in 2021. All 4 slam finals. Won 3 of them, one from 2 sets down. Beat Rafa at FO. Incredible.
Great athlete and a true competitor. Makes sense what he says about the tired legs. The difference between an attack shot and rally shot is huge. If you are tired and your attack shot looks more like a rally shot, your opponent will eat it up and ask for more... He will be back.
@@ricklee5431 what excuse. He said his opponent did better than him. He wasn't at his best and therefore his opponent deserves the glory. What do u expect him to say again
When someone has high self esteem this is the way to see things , gives credits to the opponent and keeps on going !!! He is a great champion , this is one of the reasons why we love him ❤️❤️
We love you Novak. You are the G. O. A. T. When we saw you cry, all of us cried but to us, you are indeed very special. Thank you for an amazing tennis match and for being an inspiration to all our young players. ♥️💐♥️

For me, you will always be the greatest tennis player ever
Hey Ahmad, well said, exactily what I feel right now! Novak stays really special for me personality wise and as a professional tennis player and will stay so for me for more slams!!!
Same here.
For me too :) :)
Ahmad, he is already for us, but I think he will make sure nobody has doubt about this. That's why it was so stingy that he didn't make 21st and 4 gs in a year. That's what Federer and Nadal don't have. But he's going to win more so I don't worry ❤️
Same for me too! He is my absolute favorite, and whatever people say he is just human and has emotions, couldn’t finish watching the match, it just broke my heart to see him losing, but I guess he will bounce back now that the pressure of a golden slam is over, more victories to come ♥️
Very inspiring, I hope his hunger for slams is still there. Even though he lost today, 2021 is still an astonishing season for him with all those new records created.

I have never seen him so tired. His legs were clearly not there. I was hoping he would dig deep and find it, but dropping so many sets really took a toll, especially the 5-setter against Zverev. Congrats to Daniil, he played a perfect game.
There was NO WAY he was going to be running all over the place tracking Med's shots. Look at how hard he had to work just getting to the finals. He should just take the rest of the year off and refresh and start new in January. Seriously, take some time off. Winning 3 slams in one year is NOT a trifling matter.
I. Was hoping you didn't go to Olympics we love you any way champ and what a great player look forward to seeing you play from one Serb to another
@@rosechepes9298 im not a serb but love this guy!! Sad fir him but thats life. Same time he is genuinely happy for Medvedev. He us a true gentleman unlike the others (2)
Djokovic won many GS finals the same way Medvedev won today. In the past, at the other side of the bracket in semis they had to fight for their life, and then had to play the final against a fresh Djokovic who played very well.
excuses, novak got his 6 ru title in ny
Why do I like Djokovic more when he loses than when he wins? I know why: when he loses he never makes excuses, and his humble self is in full display, that’s why. A total gentleman he’ll be back. 👍🏼🎾🎾🎾
Thats not true u r talking about a wrong guy 😎😎😎
Jeez he’s handled this loss better than I imagined. Still has to sting brutally but I’m sure there’s a bizarre relief in no longer shouldering that immense pressure. Let’s see how next season shakes out, might have him play at a higher overall level without the excess pressure of the golden calendar slam.
this match was his last opportunity to win a calendar year grand slam. it was now or never for him.
@@minavamp2811 but still he can chase the 21st GS next year
@@minavamp2811 who told you? Your momma works in his kitchen is it?
I feel that it is going to get tougher and tougher to win slams but he is for sure going to have more chances. I am not so sure it was the pressure today but the accumulated fatigue both physical and mental. Semis against zverez was tough whereas Medvedev won in straight sets. Plus he has played everything this year and right until the end everywhere he has been.
He's definitely going to win more championships, I actually think he has at least 5 GS left in him. But he definitely won't get another GREAT shot like this at the calendar slam because of that French Open. This year was PERFECT for him!
I'M relieved it's over too... I found all the media hype suffocating, so I can't even imagine what Novak went through. But seriously so impressive how he handled himself throughout with a lot of integrity and grace, except for one racket smash in the end, but that just shows he's human. He won 3 out of 4 slams this year and won the hearts of a lot of new fans... he didn't need to win the match, he got the love. More great things to come.
he needs to sto´p breaking rackets, he aint a kid anymore
Learn how to spell
@@aesir1ases64 you’ve clearly never played sports and been in a competitive game
He looks like a tantrum child, what a shame and even worst at his age.
the racket smash was justified because of the horrible umpire call
It's a great interview: calm, reflective and honest. It was an exciting US Open that ended in unexpected ways and I'm happy to have experienced it.
What a great player, what a great person.
Djokovic crying on the change over broke my heart. It was so sad to see how the pressure did not allow him to play well.
He was crying because crowd finally understood what were they cheering for. And he almost never received crowd support because he dominated crowd's favorites his whole career.
@@vvs4804 if u rly think he cried because of that then . U shud porb never give an option again . U won't know why unless ur Serbian. It's ok man .
@@mv0921_ for sure he knew well it is his last game on this USO, he could do nothing against Meddy, and his historical achievement was ruined. That is why he cried
@@КолоколРоссии Nope. It was because he suddenly felt the overwhelming support of the crowd that hated him so much over the years, when he played Fed and Rafa there. He just couldn't believe his eyes, and broke him into tears. He finally received the well-deserved love that was reserved for the other two champs for so long.
@@КолоколРоссии
He just said why he cried! I think you need to listen to this interview again, and his trophy ceremony speech on the platform?? I know he was telling the truth and it was just as important as the slam -if not more, I know that sounds odd but if you followed him for many years you will know how bad he has craved that support and recognition, that he finally got it, and for what it’s worth it was more important than the win because he realizes what’s truly important and tonight that touched his heart and soul more than winning would have
No matter what, I'm still a great fan
Wow one of the best interviews. His English is impeccable. The first time I felt something for hm cause I am a Fedal fan. I admire his honesty n grace on his defeat.
You're late ! ;)
Rafed not Fedal
He will come back stronger and hopefully win his 21st grand slam at the Australian Open.
Respect!
This comment section is filled with so much supportive and positive sentiments. This is what sport is, sometimes social media gets too negative. Very heartening to see ❤️
Social media is full of hate most of the times and it takes me until wee hours in the morning to report those kind of comments. And, you check it out the next day and the bullying and cursing comments is still there. That's why I like it more when comments are disabled.
Glad to see that Djokovic is still motivated to continue winning more slams in the future. Whether you like him or not I’m sure that Novak will be playing in many more finals.
Hope you're right he's my favorite player 😊
Yeah but he'll never be the goat now. This was his best chance and he played his worst match ever. He should talk less at conferences and focus on improving his pathetic serve.
Not so fast... he just went to the same place Naomi went. It will take quite some time to come back out of that.
@Mr AR show some RESPECT first. Sitting on Hot COUCH and commenting is very easy then playing in that condition. Amen
@@petemitchell9996 He is the GOAT for now.
Most weeks at #1. A record 7 years ending at #1. Won all 9 masters.
36 Masters tied with Nadal. Tied with 20 Slams
I LOOOOVE THIS GUY!! SUCH A WISE, GREAT HUMAN BEING. NO ONE CAN DENY HIS GREATNESS AS A SPORTSMAN, BUT THIS LOSS PROVES WHAT KIND OF GOLDEN SOUL HE'S GOT.
🙂❤. Never a supporter but he touched my heart ❤ too!. Respect. His goal was to win and he did win millions of heart all over the world.
It’s been an honour watching Djokovic play! We love him and all he has contributed. He is human and a superstar goat 🐐 all in one ☝️ 🥰😘😍
not yet the goat....maybe nexy year or it would be Rafa
Daniil did a masterclass. Well done Nole for this year, you are the greatest, and you don't need the grand slam to prove it
YES! That is true, Novak is already GOAT and that have said both Russians: Zverev (by Russian origin), when he lost against Novak in SF and Medvedev who deservedly won the US Open!-So, they are the top trio of world tennis!-Three great personalities and characters!!!-With the standings: No1, No2 and No3, Novak as GOAT and when he finishes his career, in the future Medvedev and Zverev will fight for the position of No1 in the world tennis!!!
Aww... that's so sweet. Great man we need positive people like u.
The real statement from the real person as Medvedev!, great player and great person who knows how to respect and approve the greatness of Novak -calling/proclaiming him ( as winner of US Open)-GOAT!!!-Bravo, Danil Medvedev , RESPECT!!!-That is the way how younger champ promotes the older champ-GOAT!-Medvedev is together with Zverev -the future No.1 of the world tennis!!!
Frothing ninnyology!
MURDERS his racket in a GS final and cries when he's losing =NEVER the greatest.
"Tension is the biggest enemy for a tennis player."
John Newcombe
isn't that with almost all the sports?
@@matadorlksh no, because in most sports there is another person who can alleviate tension one is feeling if they need it. With tennis, once it creeps in it can strangle unlike most most other sports. Tennis at this level requires a constancy and combination of relaxation and adrenaline that is quite unique.
@@matadorlksh you have to undestand that on this match today it was not "tension as usual "
Djokovic had a rendez-vous with History.
@@antoinev9733 I wish the history hadn't been a factor and it was just another major title up for grabs. As a fan of the game, but not the players, I was disappointed. On any other day, this would have been a 5 set nail-biter. The pressure was just too much for him.
I'm surprised you know who John Newcombe was. An Australian tennis legend.
I love this man as much as a mere fan can love a given athlete. I'm sad that he lost the match, sure, but I like Meddy, who's not a bad guy to lose to. For every disheartened Djoko fan, there's a happy Meddy one: so it is and has to be. We Djoko fans, instead of dwelling on this loss, need to honor Novak and thank him for all the great moments he's given us, some of the greatest moments ever witnessed on a tennis court. To me, his decency as a human being is beyond question. I think that only fools would disagree with that. To Novak: I think you're as great in defeat as you are in victory. Thanks for the thrills that come with the victories and the lessons learned from the defeats.
Greatest in defeat? Like throwing the racquet in the stands and taking bathroom breaks when trailing.. some grace you are talking about..
@@jazzyrampras2384 The man has a fire in him that few others could even begin to call up. What he does to generate the stuff from within to compete at the level that he competes at is none of my business and way beyond my ability--and yours--to understand. So, yeah, I think he's the greatest in defeat and in victory. Let "greatness" do its own thing and be critical of it when you can consider yourself an equal to it, not before. That's my take, my friend.
i couldn't have put it better myself . Thank you roland
Jazzy, sounds like you didn't watch the match. The o.p. was about Djokovic, not the collection of petty greivances you clutch as you mourn his dominance, not the caricature of him that lives rent free in your head.
Greatest in defeat? At least you admit you are a Djokovic fan... Nothing bad about that of course
I've never been a fan of Djokovic. I've always been a fan of Federer. But in this final, Djokovic showed a side of him we've never seen before. Great champion. 🙏🏻
He was humbled haha
That's because he knew he was going to loose 😂😂😂
I'm glad he's okay, he himself said and looked relieved once it was over. I hope he rests well and comes back stronger than ever next year
He may have lost one of the most important slams in his life, but he won something much more important this tournament: the love and respect of all, something he has been chasing his whole career
That probably costed him the match. He had no idea how to managed a full crowd behind him. He's used to give them death stares and tell them off to pump himself up lol
The love and and respect of ALL.... really? How do you figure?
NO. The crowd will never love hım indeed.
The ultimate in silly deluded sentimental guff!
@@rafagoat575 No. He was just exhausted after playing a 5 setter against Zverev with a very short turnaround. But Daniil played superbly well. But there wasn’t much competition from Nole this time round. Looking forward to seeing them play again a more competitive match.
My coach is Jovana Jovic a long time very close friend of Novak. She says no one truly understands what a generous and supportive person he is. Among other endeavors Novak funds young Serbian tennis players to give them their best chances to succeed.
Nole, you are an amazing man and champ.
Frothing Balkan idolatry!!
@@Tyronepeader How rude you are what country are you from you rude thing
Heads up Champ....you are the living embodiment of inspiration, of never giving up , yet being so humble and gracious in defeat.....we fans thank you for everything you do on and off the court. You are the best and we still have a long way to go. Lead the way champ🙌🐐
Congratulations on a wonderful slam season Novak. Just keep going. Forever a fan !!
I'm a major Rafa fan but Djoker is awesome. Tough loss for Nole and his fans but he still has had a spectacular season and career and will forever be one of the all-time greats.
Novak you are my hero, the greatest inside court also outside, what a level of player, person and soul you are, just amazing... sports needs more players with this mentality 💜
Sad to see how it ended but got the love a great champion deserves. Still takes nothing away from an absolutely phenomenal 2021.
You’re incredible Nole. Your words touch our heart. You are absolutely a star! We ❤️ you
well now he knows how federer felt in 2019 wimbledon, nonetheless he will come back stronger! wishing to see more of the big 3 for many many more years THANK YOU for what you're doing for the sport
Totally agreed. The mark of a real champion to be so balanced and analytical of his performance and emotions, and be able to talk about the state of grassroots tennis, a short while after coming off court. Well done Novak D.!
He is definitely an emotional player and a player that give it his all; time, body, mind and effort. Those tough lessons certainly have been motivation because he wouldn't have stayed so long or won as many trophies if the losses didnt motivate him.
NOLE❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🇷🇸🇮🇹
Still very strange that he cried heavily.
@@Juliette_4 Have you seen how all these gymnastic, swimming, track and field, tennis and athletes of all kind speak about depression, mental health, etc? Playing at his level, what is at stakes, all that depends on his body, playing ability are all tasking and what goes on in their personal life all builds up. Like he said in the interview, he is happy that it is all over and didn't want to talk about it before the finals.
@@MoorishBrooklyn It's all about money and fame
love his honesty, and willingness to be candid after such an important match for him… he has evolved into an incredible role model.
What a great mind and athlete. He's really developed into an incredible role model.

@@lluhu how much of a snowflake do you have to be if breaking rackets presents a reason for not liking him. You barely say anything about the sportsmanship that he shows towards his opponent during and after the match.
I feel for you Nole, even though I was rooting for Med. Find some peace and rest for yourself. You are still one of the goats and a great tennis player.
The problem for him is that he does not like to be called one of the greats. He wants to be called the GOAT and that’s why he lost today and at olympics as his arrogance came to haunt him. And age will catch him soon.
@@vidyasonavane9602 What arrogance? He's the GOAT. There is no record he hasn't matched or broken in the sport of tennis.
I can't believe he keeps losing first set! Incredible.He was too over confident today & he crumbled under pressure.
@@vidyasonavane9602 Please show me where/why he likes to be called the greatest of all time. I'll wait.
@@vidyasonavane9602 is he supposed to lie about his achievements? Don’t confuse honesty with arrogance. He is more gracious and humble in defeat than any other player. No fake modesty there, unlike some.
I think he also put himself extra pressure by saying he would play as if It was his last match...
my words EXACTLY!!!
Honest mature and humble interview…… medvedev played freely with no fear or expectation…. Congrats to him and respect to Novak 👍🏻
No matter he won or lost, I still love him, he is the hero

We truly Love Y0u 🍀❤️🤗
as fans it has been an excruciating year so i cant even imagine what he was going through mentally and physically. yes he’s the mental giant but that doesn’t make him immune to pressure. there will be moments where he will succumb to it like today and it just shows that he’s human! sure feeling sad that it didn’t work out but going at a calendar year grand slam is in itself a huge deal! very proud of him for what he has achieved throughout the year! i hope he takes a well deserved rest after this. sending all the strength and love his way!! heads up nole you’re a champ! lets keep going upward🤍
This man is a pure gentleman and professional.
Say what now??? 😵
@@ricklee5431 you can’t help yourself can you? Yet you have nothing interesting or intelligent to say 😂🤣😅😘
Dear Novak, I've always been a huge fan of yours and this defeat (to a huge Medvedev....playing perfect) will not change anything. Keep on doing what you do in the way you've done until today....disappointment passes by...being a champion remains....you do not need to demonstrate anything to anyone, you're among the greatest players in history at that's a fact. You're an example to many kids starting to play because of you...that's the greatest achievement of your marvelous career. Come on!!!
A True Champion, I understand his relief, how lucky we are to have had Roger, Rafa, and Nole, and boy, how they are going to be missed
HE IS ONE OF THE TOP PLAYERS IN A WORLD !!! NOW HE IS STILL THE SAME ...
of the history...and I am NOT HIS fan...even I dont like his style...BUT HE IS IN HISTORY ...allready!
Extraordinary champion. Excellent ambassador for the game.
You have won 3 grand slam titles this year.
Achieving many things, breaking many records.
For me, you are always the best 🐺💗💗💗
You are still a hero to me and you made it to all four finals this year.
Very impressed by the composure, honor and grace that he's displaying in defeat. This is a long interview and lack of sincerity would show. He remembers the important things, and probably chief among them are the fans. He's quick to be humble in defeat and very gracious towards his opponents, both young and old.
Say what you will about the current breed of tennis player in general, and Novak in specific, but he exhibits far more class in defeat than the feisty players of the past. And I'm a fan of said feisty players from the past, yet most of this current generation, Novak included, are true gentleman of the sport.
Crowd loved him and he enjoyed. Imagine Roger enjoyed that for at least 15 years..
Roger is fake
Roger doesn’t smash his racquets like a madman
@@steviejohnson378 Well he smashed one racquet pretty mad against Novak in Miami years ago.
@@Anticommunism99 he’s done it like 3 times in his career. Djokovic does it 3 times every tournament - even today
I am new into tennis why breaking rackets is considered so bad I feel not everyone can handle much pressure so many players break rackets
Novak appears more human in this interview post-championship match. as far as the tennis world goes, he no longer has to prove anything at all. the hope is that he will play for the sheer joy of the sport and that he would stop needing validation. he already has it on the court. now, off court...he needs to pay attention to some things. he seems to have appreciated the New York crowd in a way that never was the case. time to just relish the game and be happy with being up there with Federer and Nadal. all three combine for 60 grand slam titles, for heaven's sake!!! that is never going to happen again, not ever.
Beautiful said.
dude, you know how difficult the emotions are at that level? i seriously thought he was gonna snap, but kept it together. like he said, you cant win every single game.
@@BobRooney290 none of us does, except Djoko. I do not pretend to know how difficult his emotions were. but the PRESSURE was out of this world.
No reason to be down. He has had an amazing year!!!
Novak, just wait for 2022! I know you can and you will! I am honored once again that have supported you since your were 18 years old! You are a legend my friend. No one can beat that. I couldn't stop my tears fallen down last night, because i could feel the pressure you were having, i even couldn't make it watch to the end. Can not imagine how it must have been for you. Many more years to go! for sure! Don't you ever even think about stepping down! Younger generations must see how it is to keep their career continously better over the years, keep their ryhtm sustainable. That is what you achieved. By not giving up at all. Against all odds, all cheers against you for all those years. Don't forget all those matches you played in Roland Garros against all disrespectful crowd, you made several times you will and can do it again. We must remember that your draw and duration at this tournament put you in a very unlucky position. We as your fans should all forget what happened and be there for you in the next years. Many more years.
"The greatest teacher failure is". Novak won something priceless yesterday. And it occured by losing maybe "the" most important match. Force is not always where we think. This lesson can not be forgotten. Very happy for him. 👍👍👍
Yoda? 🤔
Very inciteful comment by nicolas espinasse
Djokovic showing time and time again win or lose his is a class champion and you may not have got the calender grand slam but I feel you will take away a much better feeling in what the crowd gave to you, all the best novak, Medvedev was just the better player on the day, you can play freely once again now the pressure is off it was nice to see you smiling at the end of the match
Although he lost, I’ll still support him and root for him whenever he plays.
Including his drama and antics.. Like you.. He not only lost to. Super man.. In 3 straight sets... Over world TV.. He lost his cool and the kids here and. All over call him. Mentally unstable as. Within a span of 3 hours.. He speaks well.. Then slowly bitter.. Then explodes by. Breaking his racket violently... My kids asked me... Is this the great Novak GOAT is?? They made me switch off... As they thought he acted violently... He did hurt line boys.. Judges and somebody else... Just look at. Roger. Nadal... Murray.. Play the sport...

One if not the first time I seen this man cheered by the crowd like the legend he is.
Well done anyway Nole, what you achieved over the last 10 years is absolutely insane, congrats chapeau
As a Djokovic fan, I can tell that he would give half of his Grand Slams to be as loved and accepted by fans as much as Roger and Nadal are.
You could understand that his statement about being the happiest man was not a lie as perhaps for the first time in his career on the biggest stage, he got ACCEPTED and cheered by the fans.
Congrats Nole, you are truly the GOAT
A lot of people disappointed, a lot of toxic haters saying he's not the goat...
Can we just take a minute to think about how he had 3 slams in a year and one final at his 34? You can only applaud Novak. If you think this is a failure you have personal issues
What a man, athlete, champion, role model and a human... he is well spoken, respectful, inspiring, grateful, humble, motivating, resilient... i just cant put it into words how he
developed from a jocker that always gave me a smile, a laugh to a Legend inspiring everyone everywhere. i don't care it he makes history or not.
I was there! First time live, biggest tennis stadium in the world, very historic moment, 21st slam for Novak or first for Med, doesn’t matter, still historic. Amazing experience!
Every tenth fan was serb. I did not know there are so many serbs. But, yeah, I felt that love. Everybody wanted him to win, especially when we saw his reaction to crowd screamed their voices off, when he looked surprised and loved like he said for the first time ever in New York. That was best moment of the match even if he lost. That going to stay with him and I am glad I was a small part of it!
You’re exactly right! I was there too and you could see his reaction to the people in the crowd, you could see that he was so moved by the love… I couldn’t be more of a Nole fan (and was one of those screaming nuts 🤣), usually feel crushed if he loses, but yesterday was different. It was sad but also beautiful and special, and it somehow felt OK. Daniil is also awesome so it was nice for him to win.
His answers to all the questions are just incredible!
Even though I'm a Rafa fan, I'm still sad, nole couldn't complete it. When Nole teared up towards the ending of the 3rd, is the most emotional I've felt when my players arch rival is playing. Nole your a class act a mental giant, a gracious champ in defeat, I run out of superlatives for you. Kudos champ for coming so close.
And I hope Rafa will comeback stronger !

Big man. A very special person. Novak came of age tonight. I think next year he will win more and feel the love: a new beginning. The occasion beat him tonight but no way is he finished.
@Adam. Agree 💯
I blame the crowd cheering for him, he plays better when he's the villain.
Lol agreed
Serena Williams said she feels it going for her 24th grand slam...its HARDER when the crowd wants it so badly for you
lol, i agree. maybe he was under pressure when the crowd was cheering for him ,which he was not used to.
And I think he cried because he probably felt the crowd down...similar reaction to Olympics where he felt he let Serbia down and rarely we see him cry in his losses as his opponents are usually the ones being cheered for.
Lol, Same thoughts here
Novak rarely loses, and slam level losses for Novak are even more rare. But when he does lose, he always has nice words for the opponent and always loses with grace.
A true champion even when he doesnt win. What a season he had in 2021. All 4 slam finals. Won 3 of them, one from 2 sets down. Beat Rafa at FO. Incredible.

Great athlete and a true competitor. Makes sense what he says about the tired legs.
