What a humble well spoken intelligent open minded talented man
👏👏
Thank you for your kind words.
I agree. Graham Bensinger is all that. Just kidding...Novak is the man !
@@boke75 i know Novak Djokovic is a man. Who is denying it?
he is very loving and respectful too
My takeaway from this interview is that Serbians have a better diction and broader vocabulary, in English, than most native Americans, which is quite astonishing.
Yes, you're right... Every language we speak, it sounds natural.
@@miroslavkordic9795 A bit hard letters like R for most east Europeans but we got hold over it more and more :D
So you met quite a few Serbs then?
He is definitely very eloquent. I really enjoy listening to him!
native americans didn't speak any english numb nuts😅👍
How is an international tennis player a gross generalization for an entire country, "Serbians"? Dumbest statement I've seen in a minute on youtube.
This man is amazing. So eloquent, so much integrity. A true man
So much integrity that he’s antivax and either lied about having Covid to try to get accepted into Australia or he actually had it and knowingly exposed a bunch of people to it by going to large gatherings of people instead of isolating.
I fully agree. Greetings from California.
Is he tho? Alot of suspect acts.
@@robovac3557 Who are you talking about?
@@annawarner1078 Talking about Novak Djokovic, the person being interviewed, that guy. Who else?
I'm 75 and have followed sport all my life. Novak is the most intelligent and articulate sportsperson I've come across. He's a credit to his family, his country, and the game of tennis. I'd love to speak English (my mother tongue) as well as Novak.
Why is he portrayed as a villain by the media, I will never understand. I have always admired him, but in recent years, I have really grown to respect Novak. Always in awe of what he has achieved despite having so little in his favour for pretty much his entire formative years. In my opinion, he is the greatest athlete of all time. Sending all love and positive vibes from India 😊
He was a danger to the media personas of Roger and Rafa, to all their lucrative sponsorships and well manicured appearances across the public sphere. He was a disruptive element. And he still is. A simple poor kid that came from nothing was never supposed to be the face of a "gentleman's" sport. I guess no one informed them that Serbians have something called "INAT" imprinted in our genes. Now he is the GOAT of tennis and so much more off court.
You must understand that NATO have military bases in Serbia, and they are taking 15% of our territory by force. They are making movies with bad Serbs for 30+ years, and they don't want some Novak or Jokić to show you what real Serbia is...
The reason is that it's politics that's why he is a villain. Big time politics. Had he accepted the British citizenship, he would have been the dearest hero. The fact that he overcame all that and became GOAT is one of the overlooked testaments to his greatness aside form results.
Typical example of the Serbian Quantum brain, great person, GOAT and free spirit Nole.

@@republikadugave420 no just serbian 🙂
@@republikadugave420 Sta kroacija? Tesla je Srbin!
the greatest of all time for me. handling the hostility of the crowd like he does is more impressive than any trophy
The greatest of all time, period. That argument is over!
Screw STYLE or personality or blah,blah blah,.Djoker is the greatest because he plays Best when the chips are down and things aren't going the best~
@@LeskeyC001Federer, for me, overall.
I was a Richard Gasquet fan before Djokovic came on the scene, and I still loyally pull for Gasquet. It's the aesthetics of his game. BUT! I greatly admire and respect Djokovic as a man of principle. I have the utmost respect for him refusing to take the shot. I also greatly respect him for loving his nation, Serbia, and always defending it, even though the US and Britain have portrayed Serbia as a villain. Djokovic is not a sellout. To me he is the Muhammed Ali of tennis.
im a Monfils fan..so fustrating watching such talent.. I likeNole best out of the big 3..although i think Carlos Alcaraz is the future
I see similarities with the past. Federer to McEnroe; Nadal to Borg; Djokovic to Connors.
I'm also a Tommy Paul fan. I used to see him playing as a kid at the Greenville Racquet Club where I played for a number of years. (Greenville, North Carolina)
@@gordonipock9385 Interesting that you equated him with Connors. That’s one record Novak doesn’t have. He needs 19 more titles to match the man who has the most:Jimmy. Novak has made history in every other aspect, apart from that Olympic gold medal. 😊
Much respect, you are now a major symbol of freedom.
Novak turned his greatest challenges into his greatest strength. He is like a Superman.
What a top man Novak is. His family must be very proud.
You are our heart, our soul, our face! Yes you are the real son of your nation, of your country! Long live, our KING!
More than being famous for his tennis, what really matters is that he is a good human
being, the rest, comes and goes, good heart and good soul.
I cannot believe the heart of this man. I have always acknowledged his genius as a tennis player. Unfortunately, I have to admit I formed judgement of Novak thinking he was arrogant. Shame on me for judging a book by the cover. Novak for me has gone from zero to HERO. May God bless your life and give you more energy and life to continue the amazing work you do for your nation.....
he did give reffs a hard time in the past ^^... But anyone in their 20's has that fire.
He won my respect standing up to the Australian govt for his human rights. As a Rafa fan, nuff RESPECT!
Same as me. I too jduged him only outwardly. Which was myd bad.
I admired his tennis... but somehow there was a one unseen barrier for me to become his supporter. Maybe because I thought he was cocky (of course, without proof). But then, after his vax case, and after some of his interviews... everything sorta changed and I see him as a big hero now :)
Well said👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Not many people at all would give you an interview like this. Novak is simply on a higher level in many ways.
he was poor, never forgot that...
Amen. Very true.
I am not Serbian but Novak is my idol ever. A truly well balanced person - intellectually, spiritually, emotionally. No pretense and speaks/ believes in truth. One of a kind. One can learn a lot from him in all aspects. I never miss his speech and interviews because I can learn a lot from him. More success and blessings to you Nole.❤
A fantastic interview, thank you. Novak Djokovic is a noble and highly intelligent person. Thankful that he got a wife that is befitting of him. Lovely family with values. May God bless them. And the interviewer did not over power, he did his homework. Excellent, greatly appreciated.
Bravo Novak. You are a perfect example of a true, self conscious and loving human being. Being very popular, I am sure millions of people would be eager to follow your path and thus transform the energy on the planet on a more loving one.
Man, my heart cried when I heard him. I Dore him for his honesty
what is DORE?
@@kimbrandt992 adore
Over the years I became more aware of Novak's significance as sports figure. He's real, true to self and kind to others. Very rare in today's world.
He is the best athlete that has walked on this planet, imo. But the argument can objectively be easily made also.
It's the dignity and elegance of Christian Orthodoxy, God basically. You can see that with Fedor too, the Last Emperor, the greatest fighter of all times, and with Usyk now, boxing's best. All loving loveable people, with principles rather than temporary goals.
@@cobrakilla8 7:03 7:03 mm kkkkkkkl
That is why mass media don't like him.He is sending dangerous messages to the system.
He certainly learned a lot from Roger Federer when it comes to showing love..
A good friend, brother, son, husband, dad and a philanthropist among others. This man is my greatest idol, my GOAT.
Novak Djoković is truly a gift to this world. What a human being he is!
He would be all round super coach when he retires, he would condition the player he coaches in aspects, diet, agility, technic, strategic, mental conditioning
Same as his coach Jelena Genčić. Made him listen classical music
What an inspiring personal history. I really admire him. Regards from Italy.
I want to say this ! On and off court . Watching him help me so much and changed me . Hope he plays US open and see him in Turin

I have followed Novak for over a decade, and read and watched as much as I could about not only his tennis but his life and views. His tennis is sublime. His level of self-expression and depth of self-searching is truly extraordinary. "My greatest achievement is an open mind." This interview is a gift to a true fan like me, particularly about the impact of the war and bombing on him as a boy, his family, the country. "I'm at my best when I understand that the power comes from within... vulnerability is a beautiful thing to show...." What he says about his kids and relationship with Jelena ... beautiful! And about the education of children and of their parents... Thank you, Graham, for this remarkable interview.
Agree. Unfortunatly I didnt grew up with propare parents care. And sometimes I am very insecure about my feelings and self worth. But using that same metologie you can realy grow as a person. Its wonderful to show your vulnerability...it means that you want more in a good way. Open mind is really the top level that you can reach. But as with everything you have to work on it every day, learning how to manage it.
What I want to say is that Novak is my confirmation that I am doing things in a good way, even if it is realy hard sometimes. But the power comes from within.
Also we are the same mentality, and big thanks to him that he is showing the world what we are capeable of. Big support from Croatia. Podrška Nole.
agreed, such a gift 😍 this interview
Agree 👍
You are awesome Rosalie 🥰
Yes. Terrific interview with an amazing sportsman and person. Thank you.
Love every minute of This interview.Who can not love Novak such a gtreat human being ❤️.
“you can’t expect other people to fix your mental issues. they can encourage you and give you tools, but it’s up to you to use those tools” wow, what a powerful statement 👏🏼

Thank you Djokovic! You are the best tennis player and a great human ever!
I wish we had more people like Nole on this planet. Truly amazing on every possible way.
Djokovic is one tough human being, physically and mentally. He has worked hard to get where he is and stands up for what he believes in and as 2022 has shown he will not be pressured into doing something that goes against his beliefs. A man of integrity 🙏🏽😎
Yes indeed😊🙏🏼💗
2024 and Novak is still at his peak & continues to make tennis history 🎾🏆
This is music to my ears . Spiritually elevated human being. An absolute perfect example of well spoken, well balanced mind and heart.
Deep and meaningful - def not something u can hear that often these days.
Legend of the sport (actually of all sport). Big respect. This era of tennis Nadal-Nole-Fed will be celebrated for centuries to come
For centuries, huh?
Wow dude! Thats a hype statement!
@@leonardobraynen1524 Pele and Muhammad Ali celebrated for over half a century and their legend grows, still top 5 of all time in their field. These 3 tennis players and clearly in that category, no doubt. So in well over a century Nadal-Fed-Djok will still be top 10 of all time, and (in that sense) indeed 'celebrated'. And in the field of tennis 'French 4 Musketeers' still celebrated very nearly a century on, and they were not in the class of Nadal-Fed-Djok.
@@romance234 ok appreciate u clarifying your statements. I agree. Cheers
@@leonardobraynen1524 Thank you, respect to you bro :)
Centuries??? I think the world will end by 2030 or before
Novak, thank you for allowing me to see the real person you are. Excellent interview! I have even more respect for you and your family and nation. Thank you for your honesty and for unashamedly discussing love and kindness and all those feelings that us men seem to have trouble vocalising. Greetings from Australia and apologies for the way this nation treated you concerning the “jab”. Love to you and your family
@Marshall Thompson Let’s hope they let him in in the coming January. There was an Aussie poll conducted and 80+ % said he should be able to play. Can’t remember the exact figure.
It is good to see someone acknowledge the treatment of Novak over that jab. It was disgraceful and thank you for facing that.🌻🌻
I have always grown up on Rafa, and he has always been my cup of tea. However, time and time again I find myself admiring Novak Djokovic, even if I don't always agree with his stances, but that's okay, even Rafa has things that I don't agree with. Djokovic is an honest, brave, loyal and intelligent man, with great and inspiring virtues.
If it was an interview with Nadal it would be 5 minutes long - Nadal is an unintellectual man and his english is very poor.
An incredible athlete and a great human being.
what a wonderful man!
Dr Igor Cetojevic is amazing. I went to see him. He's not selling you expensive drugs, he treats not the illness but the cause. The first thing he will ask you is who are you, to name your hobbies, where you live and how. He brings humanity to the medicine. Thank you, Igor.
I don't know how I can meet this amazing doctor.
@@kimlienle8783 come to Serbia. A lot of our doctors practice in this way
Imate li kontakt doktora?
Imam ja. Doktor zivi na Kipru ali dolazi u Bg. Ali cak iako je na Kipru, mozete otici u Bg kod njegove sestre. Ona bi Vas "prikacila" na sve instrumente, a Igor bi se ukljucio putem video call-a i razgovarao sa Vama.
Is he a homeopath or what type of doctor is he ?
What a pleasure ! "Novax" Djokovic is my favorite player, and this amazing interview makes me admiring him a lot more. No subject eluded, especially the bombing of Belgrade, which was just a shame. Novak was 12 years old in '99, an anonymous young lad at that time, who could well have been killed then, and all this immense talent killed with him.
Bombs are one danger. The other danger was how the Australian and United States Governments tried to break him psychologically, by shamefully excluding him. Neither worked.
He is the best player and the most genuine. His integrity and his solid moral stance against the corrupt despotic wrong doers of this world is a beacon for all good human beings everywhere.
Well done Novak.
You put it so beautifully!
When I grow up I want to be just like Djokovic
Then eat properly, read, do not neglect your friendships - and every day care for your body (sport), your mind (any intellectual activity) and your spirit (it could be art, meditation, prayer, being in the nature, practising compassion, caring for somebody in distress.
This will bring you close, i guess.
Novak is so much more than a world class sportsman, He is a world class human being! A role model for all who believe in peace and humanity, A beautifully conducted interview, well done.
Love from Australia! I am ashamed the way you were treated.
I hope you can play in the US and win.
God bless you!
Yeah a world class human being who’s antivax and either lied about having Covid to try to get accepted into Australia or he actually had Covid and knowingly exposed a lot of people to it by going to gatherings of people instead of isolating.
Yeah sure a role model who lies on immigration forms to look for loopholes and lies about his covid tests putting children’s lives in danger. He is as fake as it gets and I hope he stays banned for many more years. He also believes covid can spread through 5g towers. Extremely toxic and harmful to society. 🤡
What's the point of vaccination when you can attain a good health for free. COVID is the obese people desease. Let them take the Pfizer stuff and let us fight with what nature is giving us for free.
what is is reason for not getting the vaccine?
Djokovic is my favourite tennis player by far, because he is simply a superb tennis player - unsurpassable, in my opinion. And I also like his personality, generosity, humour (especially his impersonations LOL) and thoughtfulness. There's a philosopher deep in him somewhere, he's one of the few tennis players that I would love to have a deep conversation with, about life, the universe and everything - I know I wouldn't be bored to death after 5 minutes!
But I also support him because he's a bit of an underdog. Yes, he is No.1, the best player ever probably, but when he plays, it feels as if the whole world are against him:- The commentators making snide remarks, ignoring his brilliant shots. The media picking faults and spinning stories to put him in the negative light, whipping up various groups against him, e.g. he's anti-feminist, he's an antivaxer, he'll never be as "popular" as Federer, etc. The on court audience cheering for his opponent (which is OK if they support the other player, but most of the time, they are just cheering against him), behaving like mobs who are ready to lynch him, some people in the crowd even do their best to disrupt his play - (I wonder who organises that? It's unlikely to be simply whipped up by the media! The politicians (Australia) imprison him after giving him all the official documents to enter the country, they use special ministerial powers reserved for terrorists, where natural justice doesn't apply, so that he cannot defend his position in law. The tournaments apply different rules to him than are normally applied (his disqualification from the US Open). The public who don't follow tennis closely, buy in to this discrimination. And yet, despite all this, he comes through it, still king and generous, still fair and just, and still the greatest tennis player ever.
But when we look into it, it isn't really the whole world against him, it's just the so called Western world. He's loved and supported across all other countries, people turn out to meet him at airports, wave his flag, wear his T-shirt from Brazil to China, even to some extent in Japan. A few years ago I was following the Shanghai Masters - and there were tweets as the players arrived at the airport - pictures of famous players at the airport carrying their luggage, being met by the tournament director, with no one else in sight playing the slightest bit of attention. But the tweet of Djokovic's arrival showed huge crowds lining up the exit from the Customs zone, posters, placcards and flags everywhere, smiling faces pushing their notebooks and tennis balls in hope of an autograph! And that's where I realised that the antipathy towards Djokovic is reserved for him exclusively in UK, US, EU, Australia, i.e. the English speaking world. The antipathy, even hatred, are deliberate policies of these countries - WHY? I'm ashamed of the behaviour of Wimbledon crowds, they never used to behave like that.
The media keep telling us that Djokovic is "unloved", and that he craves that more than anything. What utter rubbish! I don't think I've ever seen a player more loved than Djokovic - when he won Wimbledon this year, he flew to Serbia, and huge crowds came out for him, at the airport, in Belgrade main square, they cheered and partied with him for hours and hours. He's the only player who receives the same kind of love that the English Football team received when they won the World Cup in 1966! He is more loved than any other player!
Yes, he likes it, of course he does, but he's actually quite a private person, I expect he would be embarrassed if us Brits came out flag-waving for him at Heathrow next time he plays Wimbledon - after the treatment he's had from British press, he would know it wasn't genuine.
Well written. Thank you for your words!
I agree. :)
Agree 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Yes so true. I'm sure he'd have an insightful answer on how black holes emerge in our cosmos.
@Danilo Desnica. Everything you wrote is true. But it has to be said that when he won Wimbledon for the 6th time this year, when he did the traditional standing on the balcony with the trophy 🏆 there were crowds as far as the eye could see. It was the 1st time I went to a Wimbledon final. I live in London! It was an ecstatic occasion. Anyone who knows anything about the real man & not what they hear or read like you and I, adore the man He’s our 🐺👑🐐🎾. And a beautiful human being. Idemoooo No1e! ❤
Made the right choice Graham! These full episodes will grow your audience a lot. Wish you luck.
I have a huge admiration and respect for Nole.
God bless you sir. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Novak, you are a heroe in this times, your real magnitude however will be shown to us in the next month. What you aredoing for mankind is amazing, thank you.
What an interview! Novak is indeed a gift to humanity. He is so genuine - no wonder he’s the best. His story is a gift to me.
The guy is much more than tennis and that’s what I absolutely love about him!
People have no idea what a man like Novak means to Serbia. From dodging bombs to arguably the best tennis player ever.
Serbia is a beautiful country, beautiful people.
Yes Tom, from dodging Our Bombs in Serbia to refusing to be "Forced" to be a Guinea Pig for our criminal drug Company's. Most everyone knows he would have won the australian (NOT SO) Open this year.
@@tonybenn1000 Depends on how many 'roids Nadal was allowed to smuggle into Australia -- it's never clear. He takes private doctors with him to the U.S., he says, because the U.S. doctors won't give him injections during matches. Poor Nadal. He told the media not to ask him how many injections he got during the French Open, but he made it clear he gets boinks before during and after matches. I have no idea how he can make it up to Zerev, but amazing players are going to get seriously injured if they're playing against diltoids who have pre-emptively numbed their bodies from feeling pain. Be snarky all you want, but when you start caring about stuff enough to feel for what's 'real', you won't be wondering where Nadal is or what he's doing. [More than 75% of docs include steroids w/the painkillers Nadal uses -- there're non-particulate steroids that don't show up in tests. I trust Nadal as much as I trust you, lol. You both seem pretty set in your ways.]
Serbian is not World ...
There is no argument. Everyone in his/her heart knows nole is the best but they are just refusing to accept the reality.
What a humble well spoken intelligent open minded talented man! Respekt! Hands down , the best ever ! 🙌🏆🥇
Good man, much love to Novak and his family from Hellas.
What a great interview. Novak is extremely thoughtful with his answers, and pretty open. Graham seems like a gent.
Always been my number 1 favourite tennis player, even more now he said no to so called big dodgy pharma,
THE GOAT.
Novak's eloquent and persuasive articulation is unmatched like his prowess on the tennis arena.
yes! And it's all straight from the heart. No calculativeness or people-pleasing which a lot of celebrities do due to PR and image-building. Even Federer comes across as "fake" to some extent. Novak is so inspirational as a human and as a sporting superstar. I just love him and admire him.
@@sainellore6874 I totally agree 👍👍
@@sainellore6874 oh please lmao u havent even seen some of the stuff federer has said if u think hes fake. hes arguably more cocky and arrogant than novak, "people pleasing"
@@bsrussian I don't quite understand you. What I feel is that all these sports superstars can be allowed a certain level of arrogance given their accomplishments. I have been a long time fan of Federer; but Djokovic grew on me over time. To me, as of now, Novak is a lot more genuine and "real" than Federer or Nadal.
@@sainellore6874 maybe, but I’m referring to when u called Federer a “people pleaser” people are pleased by him but he wasn’t ever trying to do that

A very smart man. Interesting interview. Thank you.

im not the biggest fan of his tennis but im a huge fan of the human being he is .. a true rolemodel that goes beyond just being an athlete
You nailed it, a great human being with tremendous courage.
I don't respect anyone who had COVID-19 knew it and exposed children to it twice.
When I look at him all I think about is the lines woman who took a ball to the neck at the US Open.
I think he's an absolute tool.
A true role model that is anti-vax and either lied about having Covid to try to get accepted into Australia or he did have it and knowingly exposed a bunch of people to it instead of isolating.
@@halffulltome thats the whole point .. he uses his own mind to think and stays true to his beliefs he put that even over his ego and rather stays true to himself than do something he dont believe in just to win more gs or trophies .. unless people like you i guess that just follow what the mass do and let the news and gouverment do the thinking for you .. no offense tho.. so which top athlete would do that ? one of the only ones i know that did it was mohammed ali .. so thats my whole point a true rolemodel that goes beyond just being an athlete .
@@lowkey.8448 it’s like you didn’t read my comment or your definition of role model is the antithesis of what a role model should be.
This is my third time listening to Novak. He is so generous in giving us a peek into how he manages his mind. There will be tennis before Novak and after Novak. It is the clutch moments that separates the greats from the rest of the pile. He is the greatest among the greats. Always learning. Thank you
Very interesting interview. In 2018 I cycled across Europe. Serbia was one of the countries I visited. I met no one but humble people
Thank you very much.❤
Great, great man. First and foremost, forgiving and being bigger and better and stronger than opponents, haters, closed minded people.
This man came to this planet with a mission. To conquer vanity firstly, and win everyone who thinks he is above others. I learned a lot from listening to this interview. God bless Novak.

There is a very good chance that Djokovic's amazing tennis achievements won't even be the greatest thing he does in his life. He truly could be a great leader in so many ways.
Many Serbs have guts to fight oppressors/authorities....well, they started WW1 like that... I have heard that Twitter page called Behind the Iron Door of a Democracy on a daring fight against Western judges that the media don't dare confront is by a Serbian mother who was abused in British family courts many years ago and they threatened her with total destruction if she didn't stop but she is back fighting and they don't know what to do to her to shut her up now
When I started long distance running consistently I couldn't eat any red meat or even chicken because of digestion issues. It's just a natural intuition, hearing him talk about it resonated completely.
AMAZING MAN.
I don't follow tennis much ,but this man's talent caused me to be interested in the sport, not playing in major tournaments for not having vaccinated breaks my heart 💔 & i know of other millions across the globe.
Love Djokovic’s integrity & vulnerability. He & his wife have done a heap of work on themselves & now they are giving back. Both are an inspiration to everyone ❤
Unvaxxed champ. Respect for staying true to you. I admire the strength of his parents. I find it interesting how most successful athletes do not come from divorce but rather a strong support system.
To support that one athlete's dream, a very strong and stable support structure is needed. Some achievements can never happen without it.

I just have never understood why people don’t like this guy.
That’s mostly because of how some media treated him through his career. There’s numerous reasons why is that but i think mainly cuz of his nationality.
We are closed nation with pride and dignity,injustice hurts us a lot and we tasted too much of it since many years before Novak came, we can debate of is it true or not but there are some deniable facts of how my nation suffered (sometimes dignity and justice fight was involved that much thats stupid of even mentioning) that’s why. Novak knows that and Novak speaks about it and Novak is such a pain in the you know where for them…

@@plog1805 Only death is certain.You will not live longer or shorter because of Novak, everyone transmitting, everyone gets it, vax or not. don't follow lies that restricts your movements and erods your human rights don't be a sheep do you know how they end up, not well A man they trust leads them to the slaughter.
@@plog1805 nonsense. People like you can’t separate the decisions of personal liberty from the tragedy of loss. Freedom isn’t free. And that’s not even to get into the fact that the non-vaccine was ineffective and inconsequential when it compares to natural immunity.
@@plog1805 I am sorry that you believe a player of a singles sport on the cort is in anyway a danger to people 50yards away. Not to mention all the statistics showing that vaccinated people spread covid and suffer covid to a higher degree as more time pases on. You are littealry disregarding the same science you built your own belifes on few years ago.
I'd recommend to turn off your tv and stop listening to CNN
@@draoicht22 and Fox too. Only old people watch cable news too.
Up until RG 2021, I was never a big fan of Novak. I was your average Fedal fanboy. But when he won RG21, and became the first player to have 2 GSs on each tournament, coupled with his two-time Golden Masters, I just had to admit he was one of the GoaTs, maybe even the GoaT.
After AO22, where he didn't give out to the blackmail, bullying, guilt-tripping and social-shaming, and held true to his principles, he won me 100% for good.
Novak is the GoaT, the champion, and the people's champion. I, as an unvaccinated against covid individual, felt first hand the discrimination, ridicule and bullying tactics of the government (and even of many people blindly following everything... many of whom even doubled down on the scape-goating...). I know how it feels to go to a bar, sit, and be shown the door just because I refuse to share my personal medical history with people. Frankly, I felt like a dog... I still cannot believe how 90% of people went with every disgusting tactic the government used to make sure everyone is vaccinated with a vaccine developed in mere months, by a company which has paid fines in the millions in the not so distant past. You know that when you're criminalized, ostracized, guilt-tripped, socially-shamed, ridiculed, caricatured and bullied into putting something in your body that does NOT stop transmission of the virus, you know then that something is very, very wrong.
Thank you Novak for staying true to your principles, even if for you it means losing money and trophies/history. You're a hero for the people. I wish you many more titles and Grand Slams to come.
If someone had told me, twenty years ago, for example, that people in the East and the Balkans would have much more individual freedom and the opportunity to listen to different opinions in all types of media, without censorship by the authorities, I would have told him to change medicine :). However, since corona madness, it has become obvious and it seems to me that the West is sinking more and more into totalitarianism. I'm not sure what an individual can do, except not to participate in the mass hysteria. Greetings from Republic of Srpska, BiH !
I agree wholeheartedly with you. Never liked him. Couldn’t argue with his skill on the court. I am a Roger fan! But since he stood his ground about the shots, I immediately respected him like never before. I, too, am unvaccinated and have suffered greatly for standing my ground. Friends and family wouldn’t be around me or my daughter. He is a true champ on the court, though I will always love Roger’s play first, and will cheer him on when he returns to a court to compete.
@@vladomachar6365 That's not entirely true. In Hungary for example most media is connected to Orban and his circle. What is different is the PEOPLE themselves. They have learnt to smell bullshit from a mile away. Media everywhere in the world is in the hands of few people and work for powerful and monied interests, the difference is literally the gut feeling people have developed. Furtheron the people in the west have been exposed to the most powerful and well financed media for so long and have mostly been on the "winning" side. They dictated most news globally. It's far easier to believe you are the good guy or you own the patent on truth this way. The illusion is easier to maintain under these circumstances. It's only recently that trouble hit home for them, too. Now there's fractures. Fake news is the mot du jour. The USA is fighting a containment war for its hegemony right now. So they censor and overstep far more now. They wanna clamp down as much as possible. It will backfire, I'm sure.
Lets see how things pan out. Media literacy is vital for common people. Read from different sources and understand the interests behind the media. Then try to work out what's going on the best you can from all the different information you gathered.
@@JecaMasha Yes, I've probably overestated a bit :). But, I agree with You completely, every word which You wrote. Best regards !!!
Bravo!
Novak stay strong. In thruth, you are the winner of the US open 2022!!
Love this man 💙
Djokovic has been my favorite tennis man for ten years. When he took the very unpopular stance against the poisonous covid jab, my respect for him leaped by ten fold. Great intelligence, great wisdom, great courage.
That's when I took note of him. Prepared to risk his legacy for something he didn't agree with.
Yesss! :)
Christian Orthodox as he is, what did you expect? Exactly those things!!
@@gvaik He has paid a heavy price for showing openly his Christian faith. Babylonians in NY, Paris, London are triggered by it.
I got 3 jabs and still alive and now traveling the world woohoo. Didn't kill me! The poison tasted amazing and unlike this tennis player I can go anywhere I want.
What an incredible mind and athlete. Federer appeared to have the most natural flair and grace, Nadal physical prowess. Novak comes across as the most fascinating consciously self-constructed ultimate performer. What a unique person.
1 of a kind… Novak is gold standard of achievements every other player will be measured by. Past, present and future.
Legenda
So true about having kids, you become reborn through them
Phenomenal interview… I normally am not a fan of Novak but he is quite outstanding
Nadal is my favorite but I have a ton of respect for Djoker and think he’ll probably end up with the most slams.
Only if he's allowed to play.
@@kakashihatake1029
It gos without saying...
He can play AO , RG and Wimbledon hopefully for the years to come
For the years to come is understatement of the century hahaha 2023 ,24 GS, most years number one, most masters by far etc!
What a gentlemen!😎
I'm much more older than this young man, but I'm learning so much from him. Waohh! I knew the tennis player, did not think that much about him (I'm a Federer man). But during these last 2, 3 years (and the Covid injustice) I really discover this young man. This champion. And today, few days after Rolland Garos 23, This Great Serbian, Human, HERO!! RESPECT NO-VAX!!!!
What an inspirational life story, and what an amazing, pure human being.
Amazing interview. Thank you. I love the tennis player, and I have a lot of respect for the human being. Come on Nole!
i am the same as Novak in that we both stand for what we believe in, rather than be forced to explain ourselves..........the discrimation against people who choose freely to live their lives and not do what others expect or want them to do in life is incredible. im not vaxed nor will i ever. i applaud this mans courage and with his decency and the balls to stand up for himself in this crazy world....well done djorkovic. i salute you. answer to no one but to your concious
