Djokovic Proves In Addition To Skirting Covid Rules & Being Anti-Vax He's A Big Baby

[SoCalDavidS]

I didn't really know enough him to dislike him until last year when he decided to have a little tournament of his own while Covid was running wild. Turns out he's also against Vaccinations, and won't say whether he's gotten one.

No class. Nothing like Roger Federer, who is able to lose with dignity, without having a tantrum.

On top of it, he screwed his mixed doubles partner out of a shot at a medal, because he's a sore loser after losing his own matches.

The media wants to focus on Simone Biles backing out, but perhaps they should spend some time discussing this douchebag instead.

1. Do you know why he was disqualified from theUS Open last year

He's an awful human being. Destroyed some racquets again. I'm so glad he lost even the bronze medal

[Quakerfriend]

2. I missed it. What did he do now?

Never did like his arrogance.
I’ve noticed that he has been trying to improve his image a bit-
Giving his racket to boy in the stands etc.
Can’t hold a candle to Fed or Rafa.
So happy for Zverev and RCB!

4. He pulled out of bronze metal match in mixed doubles so

Screwed his partner out of any chance of getting a medal.

Came up with fake injury so he could pull out.

6. I'm no ND fan (as malaise knows!) but I have some

Sympathy for him about the doubles. His teammates tried to talk him out of signing up for the mixed before they began, and he should have listened, but he thought he could do it. I don’t know who else would have had a medal chance for them. It’s possible he was thinking he needed to try for his country. It’s also possible he really did injure the shoulder. I didn’t see ND’s last two matches.

Doubles players always know that it’s risky if they pair up with someone likely to go deep in singles.

The weather conditions were horrible for everyone there and would have been very draining for anyone playing singles and doubles into multiple rounds.

7. He Also Destroyed Some Rackets

He threw one into the stands, which were obviously empty, but he still threw it.

3. I had to pull for Zverev another horrible human

Because no one is as horrid a Novaxxjokovic.

I’ve known he was horrid human since he first came on tour.

So happy for PCB that he beat him, too. He’s dolly.

5. Will have to pull for Khachanov in the final. Nt

8. Djoker

Tennis player Novak Djokovic was asked about Biles’ withdrawal and came off as lacking in empathy. He sounded like he was taking talking points from Fox News (which happily added him to its Olympic coverage).

“If you are aiming to be at the top of the game, you better start learning how to deal with pressure and how to cope with those moments, on the court and off the court,” Djokovic said Wednesday.

Saturday, after already losing two straight matches — semifinals in singles and mixed doubles — Djokovic completely melted down in the bronze-medal match. He threw his racket into the stands; he would have been ejected, or even arrested for that under different circumstances, but having no spectators in Tokyo worked to his advantage. Later he smashed his racket into the net pole during a changeover and threw the mangled piece of equipment into the photographers’ pit.

Nice coping skills, Djoker.

12. Biles has way more Olympic medals than this awful human being

She is the best ever at her sport
“If you are aiming to be at the top of the game, you better start learning how to deal with pressure and how to cope with those moments, on the court and off the court,” Djokovic said Wednesday.

Go pelt some more racquets scumbag

Djokovic, two days ago on Simone Biles: "Pressure is a privilege... If you are aiming to be at the top of the game you better start learning how to deal with pressure. And how to cope with those moments on the court but also off the court, all the expectations.”

11. He is a total asshole. And an anti-VAXer.
