Victoria Azarenka gives one quality that sets Novak Djokovic apart from other players in ATP Finals message
ATPWednesday, 22 November 2023 at 18:23
Belarus’ tennis star Victoria Azarenka believes that the men’s
world number one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic’s ability to bounce back is one of the
most ‘underrated thing’ in the sport.
The 36-year-old is often regarded as the greatest player in
the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand
Slam titles.
Djokovic recently won another title, the ATP Finals in
Turin, after defeating the local boy and Italy’s young tennis star Jannik
Sinner in the final with a score of 6-3, 6-3.
Azarenka, while congratulating the current world number one
in a post on her official account on social media platform X — previously known
as Twitter — heaped praise on the 24-time Grand Slam winner’s ability to bounce
back after suffering a defeat.
“Novak’s ability after a loss to elevate his level of play
and determination to win no matter what is the most underrated thing in my
opinion I have seen in tennis! Congratulations on another record breaking
performance @DjokerNole,” she wrote.
Those comments made total
sense as Djokovic was defeated by Sinner in the group match with a score of
7-5, 6-7, 7-6. With that title, Djokovic ended the year once again as the world
number one.

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026

mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026

- One of the most amazing comebacks in a long, long time. It happens (and Keys shouldn't lose her crackers over this). If Madison starts playing Dress-up and walking out on court like some fantasy character with a Mental Problem... then she should really start worrying!mandoist06-09-2026
