High praise from Marion Bartoli towards Novak Djokovic, calls him 'best sportsman in the world' alongside tennis GOAT status

Marion
Bartoli showered praise on Novak Djokovic, selecting him as the 'best sportsman
in the world.'
The 2013
Wimbledon champion once again expressed her admiration and appreciation for
'Nole' after his remarkable season, where he won three Grand Slam titles and
the ATP Finals. At 36, Djokovic finished the year as the world No. 1 for the
8th time, extending his lead over Pete Sampras (6), Roger Federer, Rafael
Nadal, and Jimmy Connors (all with 5 each).
Bartoli, who had the opportunity to interact
with Djokovic and the rest of the Big-3 during their prime years on the tour,
considers the Serbian player to be the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) and even the
best athlete in the world.
“Djokovic
is not only the greatest tennis player of all time but he is also the best
sportsman in the world. Novak has broken all the records in this sport. and
above all this incredible longevity at the top!” former world No. 1 said.
Just a month ago, Bartoli made statements praising Djokovic and asserted that in 2023, there was a significant difference between him and the world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, who can boast of a Grand Slam compared to Djokovic's three:
"If
you will build the perfect tennis athlete you can’t have someone better than (Djokovic).
The flexibility, the smoothness, everything moves freely.”
“I think we
have to go deeper into the analysis and when you look at the season, there is
one who won three Grand Slams and one who won one Grand Slam, it’s as simple as
that. And one who played four Grand Slam finals and one who played one.”
In
Djokovic's remarkable year, he only needed 12 tournaments to claim the top
spot, securing 6 titles and achieving a record of 55-6 (90.2%). He is the
oldest player to win 55 matches in a season after turning 35 since the
Australian great Ken Rosewall in 1973.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
- And this is such a shock to WTA?? How many times are they (WTA & ATP) going to keep stepping in their own s*** ???mandoist15-09-2024
