Roger Federer fans launched personal attacks on Djokovic to demean the Serbian.
Tennis and the never-ending debate about its GOAT has once again taken over social media as Serbian tennis ace and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic is dubbed as the last-standing GOAT.
As a renowned journalist declared that the 36-year-old is clear of the other two players who are often dubbed as the true GOATs of tennis, Roger Federer fans got riled up. With this came personal attacks on the Serbian. As it has been the case since 2021, Novak Djokovic was once again targeted over his anti-vaccination stance.
A Roger Federer fan who runs their X account by the username ‘Fednanen’ claimed that Djokovic played in the weakest era of tennis and hence sits atop with 24 Grand Slam titles to his credit. The user further claimed that Djokovic waited till his ‘main rivals’ retired so that he could pile up titles.
