The worst commentators I've ever listened and not because they didn't know to recognize the tennis potential of the young Djokovic, but their 'humor' consists of mockery, ridicule and belittling, raised my blood pressure on several occasions!
Huh? They did recognise it pretty quickly. I feel like people here are so thirsty for Djokovic-proves-his-enemies-wrong-stories that they make them up.
Relax. They say they don't know a lot about the 18 year old kid which is a fair comment. He does look skinny and " hungry figuratively and literally" is not an offensive comment. You are a genius in hind sight and so its easy to criticise what they said at the time. This was his first match at this level.

She certainly can be a foolish commentator. Yeah, she played mixed dbls w/McEnroe, but so what? She forever tried to hype Sharapova over Serena, who beat Sharapova 20 times in the 22 matches they played. Just weird commentary from her.
The Goat, if he hadn't been disqualified from the US Open after hitting the ball into the ball girl by accident and not allowed to play tennis in the US, and Australia due to Covid, who knows he might have won a few more slams. he has beaten the old champs and the new, what more does he have to do to earn the *GOAT* title?
I slightly disagree. Cliff Drysdale and Mary Carillo were just laughing because they didn’t know much about him. Which is completely understandable. He was 18, and didn’t have much of a resume. They didn’t have a crystal ball. They were very impressed by his game. These are two former professional players who are experts and made a good analysis of what they saw.
@billionairelivesmatter They should have done their research since he played at the Australian Open and Cliffy is an Aussie. It was a tad bit unprofessional on behalf of Carrillo.
I’m a Nadal fan but I remember watching this young dude named Djokovic struggling to breathe and the announcers kept saying he was nervous, but he wasn’t double faulting and he would always come in clutch in the big points. In my head I was like this dude ain’t nervous, but there was an issue for sure because he would retire while leading the score because he couldn’t get oxygen in it appeared. I’m glad he sorted out his allergy because living with an undiagnosed allergy is quite a challenge. I wish he figured it out a bit later so Nadal could have the most majors but gotta congratulate him. I knew he wasn’t nervous!
yeah, I saw him first at one of his earliest (maybe first) U.S. Opens...he clearly had very smooth strokes off both wings, very accurate, and was an excellent mover....sure, not physically fully developed and not a ton of power but clearly a major prospect
I liked Djokovic when he first came out and won the Aussie in 08... But his behavior since proved to me he will never be "GOAT"..... not if you understand the traits that make elite tennis players - I don't care if he wins 10 more slams in a row (just not going to happen with Alcarez and Sinner now). But even if he kept beating these nobodies like he has for 3 years now, I don't care if he gets 25, 30 slams. They are not equivalent to when Roger won so many in the 2000s against some of the best ever in their prime: He beat Sampras, Agassi, Hewitt, Djokovic in FInals, Nadal in Finals, Roddick etc etc. That means alot more than beating tsisipas in 5 sets, or medvedev who is up and down, kyrgios, berritini etc. Novak's a top 5 great - but if Wimbledon/ US OPen had not slowed down their courts in 2003 or so.... the disparity/ the gap between Federer, Novak and Nadal would have been even MORE OBVIOUS. It would have been boring for tennis fans to see Federer win so much. That's why the tournaments changed their surfaces - on purpose. They knew what they were doing..... they caused "debate" to raise interest. If they hadn't slowed down the surfaces, there would be no debate about the best in the 21st Century: ROGER.
@@user-fl2ok7ms6u I will post something soon that I send you - It shows that prior to 2003, Federer's serves cut through the grass faster and bounced LOWER to the returner .... this woudl have made it harder for Djoker to return. But after 03 or so Federer's serve bounced higher and was slower off the longer grass giving returners (and thus more defensive players) more of a chance on grass - whereas in the past before the 2000s the offensive aggressive players had more advantage. So clearly djoker benefited from that... but he still couldn't win wimbledon until Federer was past 30 yrs old by 2011 or so. So Djoker had all those years when the grass was in his favor in 05 and thereafter.... yet the still couldn't win until 2011 - You can call him the goat but I've seen players who are quite better overall than Novak on any surface: - Nadal obviously on Clay. - Pete and Roger on hard courts. Sampras and Roger have much more potent and consistent aggressive serves more than Djoker - they also volleyed much better. My friend coached an ATP player who beat Federer at Wimbledon: He told me "Djoker especially in his young days had a serve that was a liability" NO ONE in their right mind would ever say Sampras or Federer's serve were "a liability"
Incredible how aggressive young Djokovic plays. Fiery player! Twice as many forehand winners as Coria, who would've thought! Just shows how good his forehand was and is, it's just been overshadowed by even bigger hitters. But always a very underrated shot!
Still, I assume, when all 3 legends will retire, most attention will still have Roger and Rafa. Guess there will be quite some exhibition matches between them. Also I expect them to play in Wimbledon legends doubles in coming years...
Vi ese partido de Novak contra Coria. Con mi mamá seguíamos a los tenistas argentinos. Pero cuando vimos ese primer set maravilloso de Nole. Decidimos seguirlo a él y no nos equivocamos 😂
Lo menospreciaron desde el primer día. Gracias ESPN y Roger Federer por despreciar a este chico. Formaron simplemente a un monstruo que se los comió a todos.
Mary Carillo is the worst announcer ever! So smug (kamala laugh) As always, they had to send McEnroe to save the broadcast by shutting her up. Better to watch a Mary (smug) match on mute!
During those days, McEnroe wasn't that good. Always mispronouncing player's names and saying the most obvious things. He improved a lot over time though.
On the other side, it must be satisfactory when you've been "laughed at" for having a hastle with an 18yr old noname while being one of the favourites yourself, and it turns out you were actually playing that day against the future goat of the sport.
Novak entered the fray when the greatest clay courter and the greatest non-clay player of all time were dominating the slams. And he had to raise his game to compete with that. But he systematically dismantled both his rivals and won 24 grandslams in a Fedal era. New guys like Alcaraz didn't have to face that. He came in when the big 3 were on the way out.
@@discoverswitzerland I hope Asians and Eastern Europeans remember these representative comments when they go to buy a product made by these countries making these negative comments.
@@andymanland I think you have it reversed. I was paying back in kind. Maybe you should try rereading your comment before you accuse someone of what you are doing.
Why he only won 3 Slams between 2012-2014? He's allergy problems were behind him. Let's wait and see if he will win at least 1 Slam this year. If not, Joker is (probably) done
I got player guest pass in 2005 and I was able to meet Roger in the player lounge. When I was walking over to feder to ask for a Pic Corea was chilling on the couch playing on psp lol. I was 13 didn't even care about Corea once I saw Roger he has such crazy aura I was star struck
I was 16 years old in 2005 never really followed tennis at that time but Intresting they laugh at Djokovic back then look how his career turn out winning more grand slams than anyone, Federer at the time had 4 grand slams. Shows how you can surpassed people. Nadal won his first grand slam as 19 years old at 2005 French Open.
The first thing I notice here is Djokovic is often hitting his forehand pivoting off the backfoot. Very sensibly he changed that. Hitting off the backfoot is not the way forward to domination, it's the opposite. I also remember seeing him in 2005 against Britain in the Davis Cup, live on BBC.

@@billdillon3886 maybe so, but style points aside, Djokovic does lead Fed head-to-head and also number of grand slams. Fed may have better hair but Djokovic has better stats :)
Wow, I’ve never heard the words Novak and power hitter in one sentence before this. Novak has changed his game a lot, he’s a counter puncher now, hey it works.
Thats cause tennis. Lwadsys becomed slugfest of how hard You can hit, before that was a sign of an undeveloped Game cause players like Coria itself could absorb and neutralize the pace, players had more variety and needed more than a Big serve or powerfuo shots, so it makes sense Novak was a hard hitters early, cause he was young and lacked experience
Novak hasn't changed his game that much. In fact the commentators said it during the match "welcome to modern tennis" - most players are using these very swings and full body rotations you see Djokovic doing in this clip. Novak can counter punch when he needs to, but he's especially known among players are someone who can often turn a defensive position into an offensive one with a single shot.
Поздрав. Regards. And everybody loves Sinner (he is exelent) but Novak no. Double standards because Novak is Christian Ortodox-Serbian. Western propaganda politics ruined all but they fall in front of the ine and olly, Novak goat 🇷🇸🍀💙💪🏻
Đoković was a 🤡 in his first years, imitating others, lot of retirements and some (Roddick) didn't like that. And then in 2011 he started to behave like a angry 🦍 when crowd was against him, the rest is history...
they should have learnt about seriously talented teenagers with Nadal before smh - i remember coria, a top ranked argentinian a tough grinding baseliner. I also remember Nole having physical problems at wimbledon, I didn't give him a chance with his career by that point! But boy he proved me, and many many others, wrong
In defense of the commentators, they have a job to do. They need to find a narrative, an angle, something to talk about. Novak hadn’t proved anything at this point so it’s not wrong for the commentators to doubt a newcomer. Everyone so sensitive these days. There used to be something called critique. Now everyone labels everything as hate or haters. Ridiculous. I’m sure they don’t mind that they were proven wrong.
In defense of the commentators, they need to find someone to trash... Why do you have the need to defend these clowns of the so called "commentators"?!? You think that it is ok for them to speak negative about someone they no nothing about?!? That only shows how ignorant and stupid they are...

@@raphaeljimenez2212I still think Nadal would’ve won that match even if Novak had better serve in 2010
Drysdale is so narcissistic and conceded. Mary just thinks she knows it all.
Yeah. But the actual call of the match they gave him his props.
Roger was the most talented offensive player of all time. His shot making finally has a new student. Carlos!
Sadly, offense alone isn't enough to make a player complete (think Djokovic - both defense and offense).
@@sohailhines He had half the shots of Federer, who was poetry in motion.
@@billdillon3886 maybe so, but style points aside, Djokovic does lead Fed head-to-head and also number of grand slams. Fed may have better hair but Djokovic has better stats :)
Wow, I’ve never heard the words Novak and power hitter in one sentence before this. Novak has changed his game a lot, he’s a counter puncher now, hey it works.
Counter puncher? Djokovic is an all court player with plenty of power who can counter punch when necessary.
Thats cause tennis. Lwadsys becomed slugfest of how hard You can hit, before that was a sign of an undeveloped Game cause players like Coria itself could absorb and neutralize the pace, players had more variety and needed more than a Big serve or powerfuo shots, so it makes sense Novak was a hard hitters early, cause he was young and lacked experience
Novak hasn't changed his game that much. In fact the commentators said it during the match "welcome to modern tennis" - most players are using these very swings and full body rotations you see Djokovic doing in this clip. Novak can counter punch when he needs to, but he's especially known among players are someone who can often turn a defensive position into an offensive one with a single shot.
Kamala Harris are you there?
Geez that woman at the start.. cringe
#428 🐐
I guess people just couldn't see the ball on clay back in the day :)
Quality video is like from 80s
He was very thin as Sinner is now, wow.
Поздрав. Regards. And everybody loves Sinner (he is exelent) but Novak no. Double standards because Novak is Christian Ortodox-Serbian. Western propaganda politics ruined all but they fall in front of the ine and olly, Novak goat 🇷🇸🍀💙💪🏻
@@user-wi8rn1sn3l Djoker has way more charisma
Đoković was a 🤡 in his first years, imitating others, lot of retirements and some (Roddick) didn't like that. And then in 2011 he started to behave like a angry 🦍 when crowd was against him, the rest is history...
The two commentators moved to washing bathrooms 12 years ago
This is why hes THE GOAT
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and still i laughed. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They were not wrong about Djokovic AT THAT TIME. People didn't have crystal ball like you sitting in the present and talking about the past.
That skinny kid, is still a skinny kid.
Didn´t know that tennis back then was played with an imaginary ball.
24 gran slam later...
they should have learnt about seriously talented teenagers with Nadal before smh - i remember coria, a top ranked argentinian a tough grinding baseliner. I also remember Nole having physical problems at wimbledon, I didn't give him a chance with his career by that point! But boy he proved me, and many many others, wrong
Ah yes, this was just before they invented tennis balls
This level from the god of tennis beats Nadal King of clay every time
I remember laughing because he was called like Jiri Novak, except it was his first name
haha i tought he was started to fake injuries and fatigue later in his carrer but here we see at 1:55 his first comedy
They didn't really laugh at him, I'm a Novak fan here let's stop taking everything so seriously people can joke about things while being light hearted
Is there an instance where Novak took a bathroom break or fake/real injury break when he is winning or leading by 1,2 sets??!!
My guess is Never
Otro ardido más.? Sufriste mucho todos estos años viendo al Goat?
🔥👏
Can't see the ball...
In defense of the commentators, they have a job to do. They need to find a narrative, an angle, something to talk about. Novak hadn’t proved anything at this point so it’s not wrong for the commentators to doubt a newcomer. Everyone so sensitive these days. There used to be something called critique. Now everyone labels everything as hate or haters. Ridiculous. I’m sure they don’t mind that they were proven wrong.
In defense of the commentators, they need to find someone to trash... Why do you have the need to defend these clowns of the so called "commentators"?!? You think that it is ok for them to speak negative about someone they no nothing about?!? That only shows how ignorant and stupid they are...
Can you guys see the ball?
The lady kept laughing throughout the match... wtf?
What does it matter some people think he is great so what there are plenty of other players as good 🎉🎉 6:46
They are not making fun of him. Saying "skinny" is not deragatory.
But hungry, is
It's the way they're saying it while laughing. If someone said "you look really full, put the fork down" you would be offended
