Today on CULT TENNIS, we bring the history of how this event came to be, and how the effects of the tournament fallout will haunt Novak Djokovic's career for years to come.

I remember how insane this was, the fact that Kyrgios was the most level headed and reasonable person in this situation just made me laugh so much
Man, it was amazing to see him clapping Boris Becker back
In period of tournament we had 2 hospitalized patient on 4 million people. We had lower numbers than NZL and Australia. They should do it this year too
Kygrios was of course wrong on this situation as well, it’s just that you happen to be as stupid as him on the subject of the plandemic
@@histnara4995 yet you spelled pandemic wrong. Ironic, really. Maybe learn how to spell before calling someone an idiot. Quite unbelievable that you're actually saying that Kyrgios is wrong in this situation
@@vta2265 he intended to spell pandemic like that, he doesn’t believe the pandemic is real and thus thinks Kyrgios is stupid for calling out Novak, so yeah, that guy is a bigger idiot than you thought
You know it's bad when Kyrgios is the voice of reason...
He was never the voice of reason
Kyrgios: I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid!
he’s so self righteous isn’t he
Lmafao
XD IKR
"A wildly successful but polarizing tennis figure"
Man, this aged so well your past you would have no idea haha. I clicked on this thinking it was about another ehem...failed tournament of his.
Also, great content, new subscriber here.
I genuinely believe you produce the best tennis content on RUclips! Keep it up man :)
Get rid of that profile picture now....
Zverev was out in public when he should’ve been isolating after being tested. Consider him half safe.
lol
Zverev was test result was negative tho. He did not need to be isolated. He just chose to do so, or rather promised to do so as basicly public stunt.
@@HBK492 We isolate while waiting on test results for that in the event that you are positive, and not aware, to prevent transmitting the virus.
@@HBK492 they not how testing works
@@HBK492 you can be tested negative, but then be tested positive later. That’s why you still isolate, regardless if it’s negative.
Another great video, really enjoying your content! I never would have thought that 2020 would be the year Nick Kyrgios became a voice of reason...
haha great comment
This is such high quality. Don’t stop making videos!
Great analysis of the Adria tour!
More to come!
this pretty much sums up the adria tour... thank you for making this video and i love your content! keep it up. you're definitely gonna be the best tennis youtuber in the world.
Why I did not find this channel earlier. This is amazing. Great video!
Novak in 2020: At least the Adria Tour is behind me, no tournament could be so bad
AO2022: Hold my visa
I've been hearing about this since Novak's default back in September, so I decided to check out one of the matches from this tour. The first thing that ran through my mind was, "Is this for real?" I honestly thought the event was held in January 2020 because of the packed crowd with no masks. Like, what was he thinking?
Anyway, I'm glad I discovered this channel! I always see commentary videos/analysis videos on movies, tv shows, characters, RUclips creators, but not tennis commentary. Please keep making quality content like this. Thank you!
the health bodies of Serbia all approved and gave the green light for this event because the situation in Serbia was far better than in other countries~ what he was thinking was to bring some entertainment and relaxation to the people who were super stressed during that time, and it worked, they all cheered up a bit, and he was also thinking of people in need so it was a charity event as well~ and guess what? there are far less infected people than in official tournaments where only vaxxed were allowed
Won't lie Nick Kyrgios, like him or hate him, pulled off one of the most brilliant moves to further increase his marketability as a professional athlete. The attention gained to his tweets and priceless coverage by the main-stream media will easily fetch him some very good sponsorship deals.
Kyrgios really highlighted that you can be fun on court but serious when it matters.
@@philipwhiuk He's not serious when he has to
I feel he holds others to higher standards than he holds himself
He's an idiot. On and off court. Period.
Then after all this, Novak's father blamed Grigor Dimitrov.
Then the players involved gave empty apologies and the only one who says it was a mistake and regrets participating is Grigor.
At the time, I could see how the players were surprised at how things quickly unfolded. But in retrospect, I think Grigor and others can understand why the whole thing was probably a mistake!
Grigor is a rat. They spent weeks together at that tournament and other related festivities, and then 5 minutes before the start of the final he announces that he is positive through his twitter account! The timing and manner of his announcement stinks to high heaven. And what do we make of his weird travel patterns before he suddenly became sick? Apparently he traveled to Monte Carlo and back for no apparent reason. If someone explored that a little bit, it would be worth watching. Not this lame regurgitation of the official story.
@Vegalus Don't forget to wear a mask, and hide under you bed too.
So happy that I found this channel 😁
I am a Djokovic supporter. But this case is a huge facepalm for me. What was he thinking LOL.
Do not fall to the presure. He is not one to blame no matter what this brainwashing videos show.
@@shredz0000 Lol, who else is to blame?
@@glom168 I dont care which one should be blamed i just know that was shit decision,because he is number one player in the world. You cannot DQ number one because he hit line judge in such a dumb way. Just dont answer me i dont care about your answer anyway
@@shredz0000 now you're not even talking about the same topic. What's wrong with you dude?
@@DjokovicIsOurLordAndSaviour he's deflecting because of his shit comment. Djokovic wasn't thinking, and neither was this turkey.
Djokovic is like that friend you want to like but every time you hang out you feel he f's up the vibe.
thanks for all these tennis video essays its really awesome content
Matthias Lee thanks so much for your support!!
Best part of your videos are the lead ups to “the guide: by cult tennis”

Awesome content! Your channel is so underrated!
Thanks Jerry!!
Tennis' Fyre Festival
Just found this channel and I have to say your content is some of the best I’ve seen man! Keep it up!!
Thanks man, glad you're here! Will do!
Cult you give off Canadian energy. That is not a good thing.
Your definition of sanity is just so twisted
hello mr cult tennis! just want to say thank so much for your effort in your videos, i can tell each vid takes a lot of time and love and for us tennis fans who feel that tennis is "our sport" it is so cool to have such a dedicated channel to interesting content. I would love to see more videos on strange happenings in the tennis world, and also your series on "how to beat" has LEGS man id love to see that for every top 10 player man and woman. I reckon you just need a share from one or two tennis giants and your channel will go off!
That transition made me spit out my coffee. I blame you for making my day. 🤣
Found this channel & already loving it
Plz can you review or give us technical knowledge on some of the greatest matches like Djokovic vs Nadal ( AO 2012 ) , Fed vs Nadal ( Wimbledon 2008 )
Or at least the list of greatest Tennis Matches ever ?
This video had great editing and presentation of the narrative. Thanks
dude i dont even play/like tennis but your videos are just so entertaining... keep it up :)
Lover your videos. Keep up the great work!
Djokovic went full on insane during 2020
I love your videos tennis is underappreciated and you are too but that doesn't mean we will stop watching your wonderful videos also you have earned a sub
Excellent content!
Discovered your channel yesterday. Subscribed immediately. Great content.
Great stuff man keep it up!
Novak in 2020: it was too soon and I can’t express how sorry I am for every infection.
Novak in 2021: contracts COVID and goes to hand trophies to teenagers and takes interviews while infected
Novak in 2022: get deported from Australia for not being vaccinated
What a selfish prick… SMH
He never learns
True
he’s one of the healthiest people in the world, he doesn’t need the vaccine for covid, he’s fine
@@giyutomioka2316 he needs the vaccine to protect others and prevent the creation of a new variant
Yet he still keeps winning so keep crying. 😏👍👍💪💪
In 2023, after everything that’s happened, Novak doesn’t seem like a douche anymore. Sometimes trust your gut instincts.
New found respect for Kyrgios for being a man of wisdom! (off the court at least lol)
Your videos are awesome man, keep it up
if you just keep this up for a while you will for sure blow up on yt. Keep it up.
Thanks Preston :)
This channel is So Good.
2:58 why do you think that is true?
Amazing production
my new fav channel
You missed the part ehen at the time when adria cup was happening there were about 40k people at a football match so organising this cup wasn't a crazy idea.
I love your videos!!
This man makes me want to play a bit of tennis
And MF DOOM makes me wanna rap but I'm not gpod at it
Gas content my guy. keep it coming
You’re awesome!
3:04 that's not an anti-hero, he's a heel
This has got to be the stupidest Achilles heel you could possibly have. He is such a gifted player, but his distrust of science makes him look ridiculous at times like this. Now, his antivax stance may cost him a chance to win his 10th Australian Open. Great video as always!
Your editing and your transitions are so crisp. It’s just a pleasure to watch. Keep ur After Effects up
In football, we are consistently reminded that great players on the pitch don't make great human beings or great coaches. The problem is that success on the court and or a football field can be a sportsman's biggest weakness off the court/pitch. This being as all the glorification, admiration, and demigod creation can have a person like Djokovic almost begin to think they are special. The same happens with power-grabbing politicians turned dictators. Just because you a good tennis player, it doesn't mean you're a good businessman or humanitarian. This act on the part of Djokovic highlighted his own sense of uncontrolled self-importance, even if the whole world and medical community disagreed. These people begin to live in a reality that is far detached from normal reality. Through the power of money, they almost accidentally end up with yes men dealing with all aspects of their lives. So naturally, when an idea comes out of their mouths, the people around them almost encourage them to go through with whatever crazy idea they have. The players who joined this tournament were also there through greed. Many of them becoming millionaires at a young age, with little to no understanding of life, toil, struggles, and suffering. That's why I'm always very careful when lauding sports stars. Unfortunately a day always comes when they think they're more clever, more gifted and more able that they actually ever are.
lol what an ignorant and lame statement
When kyrios is lecturing you on sense and responsibly you got it bad!
Awesome content, I have been binging them. Also do you have any idea about the association Novak has formed?
If you search up quality over quantity you’ll get this channel as its definition and yet this channel still produces at a decent quantity! Great tennis channel
my mum watched this live lol
Sasha: I'd put myself there too
2020 is not a good year for Novak. A lot of it he brought on himself though; hopefully he will be wiser in 2021.
He's undefeated, has won a slam and two Masters 1000 tournaments and has a decent chance to win RG as well. Maybe you will be wiser in 2021 (probably not).
@Vegalus I can tell you've been plenty vaccinated.
He is having such a rotten year he may only win two Grand Slams, to be fair this was stupid
@Vegalus You are brainwashed .But unlike you Novak is thinking with his head. That is why global media hates him, they don't want us to use our brains.
@Vegalus Oh really,is that so. First of all vaccines are not what used to be, some people,especially children get another medical issues after taking it. Second,you said it,it takes 10 years to produce a vaccine,that means we will get it in 2030. Are we supposed to wear masks in next 10 years and live in new normality with social distancing and other things?Or maybe they will produce it in 2-3 years from now?But if they make vaccine very soon doesn't that mean they already knew about virus in 2020. And about doctors and those who make vaccines,oh yeah,and they aren't the same anymore. Today if you don't pay a doctor you may as well die in front of hospital. Everything is bussines today,litteraly,true capitalism we live in. There are a lot of non logical things about corona virus,people are confused,we just want answers and truth, of course Novak is going to question vaccine, he just wants to know what is going to be injected in his body.
The way he pronounced Zadar 😂😂😂😂
People need to stop hating on old Djokovic. He is a good person at heart, like everyone else he has a hard time showing it. I think he deserves more credit then people give him. This is coming from a Nadal fan.
When Nick Kyrgios thinks you're selfish... you're selfish. I hope Djokovic has learned from it though. He genuinely seems like a nice guy.
well done great vid
As a Djokovic supporter, I don’t condone the organisation of this tour. However I think its ridiculous to call him the human embodiment of this tour. Yes it was his idea, but that had to be approved by others especially the Serbian government ( keep in mind this was at the end of may and that’s when most European countries started to ease restrictions, especially in Serbia where the cases were quite low). There were participants (some of your favourite tennis players), an audience, collaborators and just lots of people involved. I find it wrong that people solely find Novak to blame because they’re on a chase to find reasons to vilify him. This was a great video btw, just my opinion on the situation.
Lol this aged hilariously well after the AO drama
How many subscribers do you have... anyway keep on creating good contents
WOKE! I'm referring to the maker of this video.
Great Stuff, your commentating style reminds me of Jon Bios
Thanks for the compliment, I plan to keep the good content coming!
Omg, I was thinking the same! A big fan of both. Keep up with the good work!
RIP 2020
where d'you find that beat you use at 7 minutes?
Best Channel!
Djokovic clearly did not care the infected players including Djokovic did not die and are still playing now his trip to Austrialia makes sense
Damn, never expected Nick Kyrgios to be the voice of reason. Kinda makes me respect him more. Also I didn’t think I could hate Zverev any more than I already do but here we are.
curious to know your thoughts on kyrgios and benoit paire. and also if you are a fan of theirs or no
Maybe the only time i 100% sided with kyrgios
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
may i know name of the song at ~ 1:40 ? i doubt anyone is going to see this after like 2 years but well, gotta belive eh?
He played with fire and got burned.
No surprise.
Okay the tournament was a failure but man such bad faith throughout the video. I'm a Fed fan but Nole is one of the most sportsmanlike players in the tour and saying he's an anti-hero after showing a few clips where he got pissed (happens to everyone) is dishonest and rooting for him to lose is just being a prick.
This didn’t age well.
Look, Novak did promote and in part org the tour but the GOVERNMENTS of SERBIA and CROATIA wanted and approved it for their own reasons, Serbia because of elections and declaring victory over covid, Croatia was trying to save its tourism season. Djoković tried to do some good for others and the sport and got only the blame, just like now in AUS Open with asking for better conditions for other players. Y'all love to hate him for taking a shite on your Federer - Nadal romance while the rest of us love him for that among other things. And Kyrgios can keep counting his weeks being no.1 saltiest athlete.
Bro if the world ended, djokavic would arise as one of the boss you’d need to defeat to get back peace again 🤯
He did on a small scale what many whole countries have been doing on a large scale. Not smart either way, but sometimes a bit of perspective helps.
it was idiotic 😂😂 whataboutism comparing him to entire countries is ridiculous - plus, he is an adult after all and should certainly be more aware of the importance of avoiding widespread physical contact.
thanks for this video and respect to nick kyrgios calling them out.
Skip to march 2022. It’s laughable
There's so much ignorance here wow
This is not completely a Djokovic's fault, the Serbian government during the times of Adria Tour have been lying about the corona virus victims and the number of people that got the virus for like 2-3 weeks, bcs at that time the new voting for next government is coming up at that time, and after some time, ppl in Serbia made a big protests, obviously, Novak should took a part of the blame, but not full blame, he should know better, and he should follow at least some protocols
yea but still he just shouldn’t have been so stupid lmaoo
this is madness
Krygios, the voice of reason. 😂
How about the video about the joker lost a couple weeks ago being -5000 odds and lost to sonago?
Alex Jones was right... again
Kyrgios is mad he wasn't invited
This aged well 👌😆
And the Bad Boy Kyrgios again being the sainest of the circus
Considering the fact that he recorded a vlog about "irresponsibility" of others while driving a car, I would beg to differ
Oh...what's sane about NK?!
I call that utter bulls**t.
Yeah except he was caught partying after that, so no, he's still a dumbass
@@dejanmarkov14 Caught? Like he sneaked out for some party time with his buddies and a side chick and got caught kehehe. Imagine if he was smoking cigars and drinking alcohol? Ooooh, then he would be the real bad boy of tennis kehehe.
There is no need to be a hater for nothing
Everyone is blaming Novak but it's not fully his fault. The Serbian government really did allow so many stupid things in June. It was all done because the elections that happened at the end of the month. First they allowed around 20 thousand fans in the Belgrade derby. The stadiums were full with no distance. My friend and i were volunteering and we had to constantly wear masks( unless on a break) and we were sometimes in the groups that were ordered to give out masks to people who didn't have masks of their own. At the time Serbia was acting like it was covid free and everyone was acting like it. As i already said, it's mostly the governments fault (they are just a whole different story) but it's also Novak's fault. I don't know how it was after Belgrade, but here it was beautiful and very well organised.
Ive been watching this channel for 2 hours and just now realized I dont care about tennis. Great vids tho
Just found your channel. Sharing with everyone
Glad you enjoyed Sam!!
Please do a video on his deportation drama
i can't believe i missed this. Novak, Novak..... sigh.
