Novak Djokovic - You want to be at the top, you better learn to deal with pressure

[HTXBreh]

Pressure bust a pipe...people gotta realize no matter how thorough you are these last two years have put us all in a different mental state.I bet he doesnt even regret talking shyt about those women.

 

[Nero Christ]

I mean Novak didn't make his comments aimed at Simone or Naomi...just in general

but the past couple of days went a long way in putting egg on his face

Get bodied, humiliated and driven into an on-court meltdown by a dude named Busta, days after anointing yourself the pressure Gawd.

You:

“But I’ve learned, I’ve developed the mechanism how to deal with it in such a way that pressure will not distract me and will not wear me down.
“I feel I have enough experience to teach myself how to step on the court and play my best tennis.”

Also you:
Djokovic said the physical and mental exhaustion of the Olympics had taken a toll on him.
"I just didn't deliver yesterday and today," Djokovic said. "The level of tennis dropped. Also, due to exhaustion — mentally and physically."


So much for your "Golden Slam". Try again in 4 years.

Mentally and Physically

The irony lol

Simone didnt know where she was mid flip 10 feet in the air. Would love to drop all her critics mid air, backwards and see how they cone out.

its scary thinking about that shyt. fukk them

People comparing gymnastics to basketball are just illustrating their ignorance.

but MJ didn't say this after a bad game 1 performance in the finals nor did he say after abruptly retiring in the middle of the finals, he said this after the Bulls won the chip and in the offseason. There's a fundamental difference how Jordan handled this compared to Biles & Naomi.

I'm not knocking no one for taking care of their mental health, I am knocking folks for using it as an excuse (that I perceive) to avoid criticism. MJ still took care of the task at hand. Simone looked shaky to start, got a bad score and then dropped out...Naomi stopped playing which coincided with the 2 majors on the surfaces she struggles the most with

I'm not saying I'm not possibly wrong here about both Biles & Naomi...I'm just pointing out how things look to me

The whole point of famous athletes going public with their mental health issues is to remove the stigma surrounding it and making it clear to us that mental health problems are as legitimate as physical health problems. Stefon Diggs played in the playoffs on a torn oblique muscle. It doesn’t make the players that went on IR with a torn muscle a bytch.

 

[dh86]

The protection of Athletes who can't deal with pressure. It's annoying and disrespectful to the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s players who had to deal with real pressure and landmark events

This modern hashtag era makes a mockery of "pressure"

Media pressure wasn’t 24/7 and the fans didn’t know shyt about their personal lives. The disrespect you’re referring to isn’t half as disrespectful as a man that’s never been touched telling a woman how to handle sexual assault

 

[Sauce Dab]

I know that ain't who I think it is

nikkas on the first page was at his comments just for this man to have a mental breakdown on court the next day from the pressure and quit his future matches fukking over a teammate chance to win a medal in doubles

 

[Guess Who]

Skipping the doubles is a punk move

Couldn’t have written a better script if I tried!

This aged horribly.

It aged correctly.

Djokavic is one of the most abhorrent a$$holes in sport who doesn't know when to stfu. I fukk with his tennis game more than Federer and Nadal too, but as a person he is a massive POS.
