It is unusual to read such hard and forceful statements among colleagues, but Timea Bacsinszky remains outraged at the behavior of Novak Djokovic During the last months. The Swiss tennis player, who became world number 9 in 2016 and semifinalist in 2015 and 2017 of Roland Garros, has expressed with exasperation what she thinks about everything that has happened in recent months with the Serbian, analyzing her behavior from one point very critical view in an interview with the Swiss newspaper lematin, who will surely raise blisters in the Balkan environment and among his most loyal followers.
Questioned about the great resonance that the acts of some of the best players in the world have had compared to the prevailing discretion on the WTA circuit, Timea gave vent to her anger. “Women are much more responsible. They are much more mediatic, they expose themselves more and they have shamelessly shown how they partied in the middle of a pandemic. What the world’s number 1 has done has been a bad example. When you occupy that position, you have additional responsibilities for being a benchmark throughout the world and you are the greatest representative of our sport. However, Novak has acted in the worst possible way“says the Swiss, current 291 in the WTA ranking after having gone through an odyssey of injuries.
“One day he leaves expressing his reservations about the resumption of the circuit and complaining about the preventive measures that were going to be imposed, and a few days later he organizes a traveling exhibition tournament with full stadiums and additional activities. They are all contradictions in their behavior“says Bacsinszky, who dares to diagnose why Novak is not as appreciated around the world as Roger Federer The Rafael Nadal. “The fact that he is not loved by many people is because everyone detects these continuous contradictions in his personality,” he says.
The conclusion of his reasoning leaves no one indifferent and clearly shows his discomfort towards Novak Djokovic. “What is clear is that tennis could not offer a worse public image than the one that the ATP circuit has given with the behavior of the Serbian. I am very proud of how all my teammates have behaved and of the image that they have offered to the world women’s tennis, “reasoned one Timea Bacsinszky who had never shown this predisposition to tackle controversial issues with such forcefulness.
