John McEnroe defends Novak Djokovic after his statement to the crowd at Wimbledon, ‘There’s 2 of the greatest class acts we’ve seen in tennis, Roger Federer & Rafa Nadal… who can compare to them in terms of the way people love them? Nobody… This is what he’s been dealing with for 20 years… He doesn’t deserve this’
“He’s been battling this for his whole career. Yes he feeds off negative energy. And yes I did feed off that at times. But I hated it in a way. Do you want people yelling against you hoping you’ll lose? Just because you’re so good they start pulling for the other guy for no reason other than you’re so good. That’s the reason people go against him in my opinion. He’s like the Darth Vader compared to… look, there’s two of the greatest class acts we’ve ever seen play tennis. Rafa Nadal & Roger Federer. Who can compare to them in terms of what they brought to the table and the way people love them? Nobody. And then this guy Djokovic has the nerve to come in and break into the party….”
Clare Balding: “And win more Grand Slams than them.”
“Exactly. So then it’s like ‘How about respecting me after all this?’ Think about this… here’s a guy who had surgery a month ago. The odds are were 10 or 20% that he’d even play this tournament. He’s thinking ‘I’m helping this tournament.’ Which he is. ‘Why don’t I get some love when I’m playing a guy who’s 15 in the world?’ Who hasn’t done a damn thing compared to him. Yes there were maybe a handful of Danish people going ‘Rune’ and I get that people want to see a good match. We all wanna see a good match. But you have to respect the greatness that you see. It’s easy to be the backseat driver and let it go. But this is what he’s been dealing with for 10, 15, 20 years that people have been doing this. I admire the guts that he had to say it there. That takes something. That’s in a way gonna put more people against him. He doesn’t deserve that at this stage. We need him and he’s been too great for our game in my opinion.”

Dopo essere rientrato negli spogliatoi dopo il match record con #Musetti, Novak #Djokovic è tornato in campo per ringraziare personalmente il bambino che lo ha supportato in ogni singolo 15 e che ha citato durante l’intervista con Corretja. Queste le immagini dall’account Instagram franck62126 ❤️
La storia di Napoli è un tessuto prezioso la cui trama è composta da diversi fili: passione, difficoltà e Gioia infinita... sono valori veri che ti fanno amare la vita. Complimenti per uno scudetto che questa meravigliosa città merita.

🏆🇮🇹 Napoli are Serie A champions after 33 years!
It’s the third Serie A title in their history.
It’s also the first one after the legendary Diego Maradona era.
Congrats, Napoli! 💙✨
@_MHaruma Questa scena mi fa piangere ogni volta. La complessità di Lila che non vuole darle la soddisfazione di credere che abbia sprecato la sua intelligenza ma al tempo stesso non vuole che la maestra pensi sia stupida 💔💔
@_MHaruma Vero. Ma poi c’è un episodio del terzo libro della quadrilogia della Ferrante (non vorrei darti spoiler, non so se lo hai già letto) che li collega troppo per me 😜
