I often asked why it was, and it was painful,” Djokovic admitted. “I thought changing my behavior could win them, but that also turned out to be ineffective.”
Djokovic attributed part of the fans’ reaction to geographical and cultural factors, especially when it became a call for established Federer-Nadal dynamics.“Both of them have already evolved before I came because Nadal broke through several years before me. They come from Switzerland, Spain, so western forces. There are these orientations and there are associations. I have never reached the same level as I disrupted the number I didn’t get,” Not everyone welcomed it, ”he explained.Djokovic discussed the nature of his relations with Federer and Nadal and emphasized his respect for both competitors.“Just because someone is my biggest opponent does not mean that I wish to hurt them, hate them or want to do anything else on the pitch to defeat them. We fought for victory and won a better player,” Djokovic said. “I’ve always respected both Federer and Nadal; I never said a single bad word about them and I never looked at them and I still did it. But I always got better with Nadal.”The Serbian player offered his analysis of different game styles within the Big 3.“When we compare Federer, Nadal and I – Federer is the most talented, most beautiful to watch, spent his energy most effective, moving so slowly, so elegantly, so effectively, while Nadal is the second contrast, another extreme.Djokovic acknowledged the significant impact of these rivals on his career development.“We always say that through these rivals, the three of us have contributed to the development of tennis players and people and competitors we have become. I undoubtedly say that the rivalry with these two had the greatest impact on my development, especially in the second part of my career,” he concluded.These revelations came after Djokovic’s recent departure from the French Open in the semifinals, where he was defeated by Jannik Sinner.
