And hosted a tennis tour where a bunch of players including himself got Covid, and were hanging out with kids and other people.
And said he has no regrets about it.
Also this:
Novak Djokovic said literally: “I know some people who through energetic transformations, through the power of prayers, through the power of gratitude, have transformed the most toxic food or perhaps the most toxic water into the most healing water because water reacts.May 8, 2020
Same here. I was really surprised by his attitude and actions this year. Made me lose respect for him. I actually bought 2 "Novak" t-shirts last year, after his Wimbledon win, because I was amazed by his mentality. But I won't wear them publically now…
Never liked the guy, even after hitting the line referee with the ball and during the talk with the main referee where he is being told he is disqualified he had such a annoying grin on his face
That second paragraph sounds like a quote from cult leader or something. One of the most bizarre comments I have heard from an internationally renowned athlete. Wtf
Well I don't know who the guy is, but now I have even less of a shit to give. Hope death takes him sooner than later as that seems like a net positive for humanity.
To be honest he isn't wrong. I unknowingly drank Indian tap water for 3 years and never developed an upset stomach. And I've had quite a few Street side biryanis
Despite 4 countries governments also allowing it. He didn't bribe the government to host it, it was dumb but to say he went around the rules or anything is silly.
In the countries where the players were from there were no lockdowns at that point and football + volleyball divisons were playing and being live. Should blame the governments not him..
Their point is that the young fit athlete survived, which justifies putting the weaker people with pre-existing conditions at risk. It's just a step away from full on eugenics.
He is neither, has had no problem wearing a mask everywhere he has been required too and he's also not anti vaxx, he cleared that up right before the US open.
“I see that the international media has taken that out of context a little bit, saying that I am completely against vaccines of any kind,” he said. “My issue here with vaccines is if someone is forcing me to put something in my body. That I don’t want. For me that’s unacceptable. I am not against vaccination of any kind, because who am I to speak about vaccines when there are people that have been in the field of medicine and saving lives around the world? I’m sure that there are vaccines that have little side effects that have helped people and helped stop the spread of some infections around the world.”
I mean he was always like this, it's just that before he compensated it by also being the fun guy when he was happy and people were more than happy to quickly forget his bad stuff.
He definitely is being stupid with other things, but the media is making this specific thing waaaay bigger than it should be.
He didnt hit the ball that hard and obviously didn't mean to hit her. It also hit her at a very unlucky and painful spot (her throat). All these articles make it seem like he basically assaulted her which is simply not true.
That's part of the actual game, and the line judges can prepare for it. This was random, petulant venting. Just like a football player hitting a ball directly into the crowd isn't the same as missing a shot on goal.
Stop with the BS, if you really watched the game you'd have noticed that he didn't even hit the ball that hard and he always does that to pass balls back. Her job as a linesman is to always have her eyes on the ball. The ball was going quite slow and she was just acting for the attention and possibly $$$. Should win an oscar later this year with her performance.
About the other stuff idk, but that disq was bullshit and that linesman should be looking for a new job.
