"Nole is like me" - Soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimović sees himself in Djokovic
ATPWednesday, 06 October 2021 at 03:00
Novak Djokovic is renown for his mental fortitude and relentless fighting spirit, and these traits have made him one of the most difficult opponents to overcome during his illustrious career.
The Serbian is also known for playing some of his best tennis when he's upset or has the crowd against him, another characteristic that makes him a great champion. Swedish soccer star and AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimović believes these are qualities he shares with the Serbian, claiming he shares the same fire as the World No.1.
"When Novak plays and gets angry he brings out his best, and that's how I feel alive," revealed Ibrahimović. "He's a complete athlete. Nole is like me."
Although Djokovic displayed some of that anger and fire during the 2021 US Open, the 20-time Grand Slam champion was unable to bring home the trophy, falling in the final to Daniil Medvedev. Following the loss, Djokovic announced his withdrawal from the BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells event, which runs from October 4-17, 2021.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
