Vancouver, Canada) – One of Novak Djokovic’s colleagues in his tennis union (PTPA), Canadian Vasek Pospisil, once again praised the Serbian in a conversation with the channel Smashing racketsin which he highlighted the behavior of the current number 1 behind the scenes and said that tennis should be very grateful to have someone like that in its sport.

“Novak gets enough credit, it’s something that really annoys me. He’s a nice guy. Everyone can act like an angel when the cameras are on, they can say the right things, this and that, but the most important thing is how you really are when the cameras aren’t on, when you actually talk to people . ” Canadian .

Pospisil says Djokovic is a very generous guy and does a lot of things away from the spotlight. “I don’t know if I should say this, but he helps young people in Serbia by financing their careers. He really cares and I think it’s because of his upbringing and the circumstances he grew up in, because of everything he’s been through to get where he is,” she said in simple terms. the current 186th in the world.

“He is someone who understands and appreciates how difficult it is to get to the top and how things are rigged against players in this sport. Their help is really real,” added Pospisil, who also took the opportunity to criticize the way the press treats Serbs poorly.

The Canadian thinks that there is a kind of media persecution against Djokovic. “They don’t realize all the amazing things he does. Of course he makes mistakes, he’s not perfect, it’s impossible, but in my opinion there hasn’t been enough attention paid to all the good things he’s brought to the sport.” assured Pospisil.

“I only started seeing this side of Novak when I really got to know him, and every year I have more respect for him. I think tennis is very lucky to have someone with his profile, the best player of all time, and at the same time someone so passionate about players of lesser profile. I think the players will realize that at some point,” concluded the Canadian.
