French journalist Benoit Maylin made statements in his podcast that shocked many tennis fans, with which he sensationally attacked Roger Federer. According to the Frenchman, the Swiss Maestro would be a megalomaniac, while Novak Djokovic would be the clean face of tennis.
Here are the words of the journalist reported thus by Welove.fr.: “The older I get, the more I begin to ask myself questions about the image I have and had of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. The further we go, the more I realize that Novak Djokovic is the clean man, the image man of this sport.”
Maylin then shared a harsh attack on the Swiss Maestro, caused above all by the Laver Cup: “Djokovic created the PTPA, he works to ensure that the money is distributed equally, even in the minor circuit.
For Federer I am starting to fear Roger Federer and the his megalomaniacal side, the Laver Cup is a competition that is not in his name but which is clearly his thing. It is a tournament only for stars, not for small-caliber tennis players.
Why didn’t he do this at the end of the year. All This story is bulls hit, there’s no doubt about it.”
The GOAT issue and its protagonists
Over the last few years the debate has become increasingly heated regarding who the true GOAT of tennis is.
Three tennis players are often awarded this title: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and especially recently Novak Djokovic. In recent years the Serbian champion has overtaken his two rivals and is now the most successful tennis player in history.
24 Grand Slam titles and a series of great results, a tennis player who still today at 36 is number one in the world and is heading towards 400 weeks at the top of the ATP circuit.
Amazing numbers, but Nole always continues to make his haters discuss him.
The Serbian tennis player was probably one of the most divisive in history, according to many fans and some insiders. From the vaccine issue to some of his methodologies that have caused discussion and let’s not forget the disqualification at the US Open for mistakenly hitting an insider.
Novak Djokovic has always been painted as the third wheel by many of his haters, especially unlike Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, the latter always acclaimed on the tennis courts by his fans Even now that he no longer plays, the Swiss champion is in demand all over the world.
