I refuse to watch his matches but I see there was a lengthy 'comfort break' when he went two sets down...
Let's just say some remain unconvinced by his 'gluten-free' transformation from brattish also-ran who seemed to get 'injured' if a match wasn't going his way to multiple slam winner.

I do understand folk thinking he’s a knob since covid but I never get people trying to play down how brilliant a player he is because they dislike him.

This is it for me , The guy is a sensational Tennis player , Unbelievable on his day , And (IMO) Will still win the most majors in history and overtake Nadal and for me will be the greatest tennis player of all time , All in my humble opinion of course , Queue the Federer fans

I can appreciate Djokovic is a great player but I just can't take to him either.
I've never really had any feelings either way about him up until this year but couldn't explain why.
Then the 2022 Australian Open happened...
He will never be as universally adored by the tennis public in the same way that Nadal and Federer are and that really bothers him.
Considering his Grand Slam record he should be loved by everyone who loves tennis but he just isn't.
He's undoubtedly still a legend though.

Fritz v Nadal second on Centre Court tomorrow so should be on around 3.30pm and Garin v Kyrgios second on Court One so should be on around 3pm.

This was written pre-Australia but it's a decent analysis of why, despite the stats, Djokovic will always be unloved as a player:

As for his conduct off the court, I always used to find him absolutely fine. Hasn’t he been called both a joker and a gentleman in his younger days? Enjoyed his impressions of other players 😀
However I do admit to going off him for his pandemic pantomime, I think he was behaving like a tosser and wouldn’t blame anyone for disliking him purely for that carry-on. That doesn’t change the fact that he’s an awesome tennis player who will retire with a claim to being the best ever and whose record should be greatly respected by all tennis fans.
Mon Rafa 😁

Federers single handed backhand is perfection and, in an age where the vast majority of players use the double handed backhand, set him apart as a step above everyone else in terms of style of play and talent.
Djokovic has been incredibly successful and will probably end his career as the most successful player of all time in terms of grand slams won, tournaments won and prize money won, but IMHO, Federer will always be the better tennis player due to his style of play and the range of shots he can make.

Rafa struggling with injury. He’s digging in for now but difficult to see him lasting long enough to get the 3 sets he needs.

I've rarely watched Kyrgios play as he doesn't often figure in the latter stages of tournaments but having seen a lot of him this Wimbledon I can see why Andy Murray describes him as the most naturally talented player in the game.

Nadal wins in 5 sets.
Absolutely phenomenal effort, please take a bow!
Kyrgios v Nadal in the semis.
4/4 semi finalists correct!
Fritz is definitely a future Wimbledon champion though.

I do struggle with the Rafa injuries usually coincide with the other guy leading. The wimbledon crowd also. embarrassing how they favour certain players. Sure Rafa will be at it in semi. Hope Kyrgios horses him.
