Andy Roddick says Djokovic was like a cyborg during Federer/Nadal rivalry, mainstream fans were mad at him for it:
"I feel like Novak Djokovic is the guy who broke up The Beatles. He is like tennis' Yoko Ono. He is the one who we didn't want, didn't need. We had the rivalry, we had the lefty-righty. We had the contrasting styles. Then all of a sudden, this cyborg robot, but also someone who plays with a lot of emotion, comes in and is like, 'I'm not buying into the hype. I am complete. You can't go through me, you can't go around me. I'm gonna take the punches from these guys'. It was weird. It was almost like the kind of mainstream not tennis-centric fan was kinda mad at him for it.”
