[Sparkstar2]

why is he grunting at such a young age??!?!?

[doule76]

@Sparkstar2 because he probably saw monica seles playing at the time;-)..

[ConfusedSponge]

My dad thought i WAS WATCHING porn

[juliansa74]

@ConfusedSponge Why?

[ConfusedSponge]

@juliansa74 Just listen to the freakin' video for god's sake =)

[juliansa74]

@ConfusedSponge I did....and???....

[ConfusedSponge]

@juliansa74 I don't know whether you're messing with me or whether you're just a complete n00b. I guess you're around 37 - 38 based on your username. So, you should know about this. A 13 - year old could understand this. He was moaning, groaning and grunting in the video like a guy who was about to reach SEXUAL orgasm. You know like Maria Sharapova. Geez, understand??????? LoL =)

[juliansa74]

@ConfusedSponge "like a guy who was about to reach SEXUAL orgasm"???....it seems to me more like a little kid who wanted hit the ball once more than his opponent and to be #1 of the world...has nothing to do with any "sexual event"

[ConfusedSponge]

@juliansa74 Sense of humor, dahhhhling =)

[ConfusedSponge]

@ConfusedSponge Anyway, that's what my dad thought.

[juliansa74]

@ConfusedSponge wwooww....

[quachingducks]

Serbians are angry, you mad? this is why we hate you guys, its the truth. every Serbian I've seen always put their comments in caps lock and always swear at people. and you wonder why people hate you? btw, you guys got bushy eyebrows

[fakinserbin]

@quachingducks

You are the only Chinese who hates Serbians.

We are putting our caps often because there are lot of provocateurs who don't have nothing smarter to do than to piss on every video that has any connections with Serbia. Yep, we do have some impact in this World, and others who don't - want to tag along...

[quachingducks]

@fakinserbin ok, thanks for informing me.

[Marijanak888]

@quachingducks that s not true,not all Serbians are like that,some ppl made us like that cuz it s very conviniant for them to present us to the world like crazy and savage,but that s a decive,I can`t talk now why,it s long story,we re normal ppl as everyone ealse,look at Novak is he mad or savage,no,afcourse there are some bad ppl like in every nation,but we re not all like that,most of as are normal ppl

[quachingducks]

@Marijanak888 ok thanks for informing me. from I've seen Serbs seem to be really mad, like on some youtube videos all the Serbs are mad. thats what I mostly see. sorry for my comment though. it was just an observation

[SrbinZemun1389]

@quachingducks you are idiot you know that,every Spanish guy or every Italian girl is that and that,nonsense,how can you think so stupid,you are probably Albanian,Croat or something!

[quachingducks]

@SrbinZemun1389 you are really late, I said this a week ago, and 2 people already explained to me, and now I understand it, go read the convo before you say shit like this.

[SrbinZemun1389]

[Kikica2806]

@jovan856 Pa naravno da ce da nas potcenjuju u Evropi jer vidite kakav smo narod?Djokovic je juce postao prvi a vec 10 dana ranije svi vredjaju Federera i Nadala koji su vrhunski teniseri i postigli su mnogo vise od Djokovica,ne kazem, mozda Djokovic uspe da osvoji sve sto su i oni i to bi bilo super ali trenutno su oni bolji..Ej kako moze covek koji je osvojio 10 grend slemova covek koji je osvojio 16 grend slemova da ne zna da igra tenis?A po fejsu ih omalovazavaju kao da nisi videli reket.

[jovan856]

@Kikica2806 To ti je okrutnost naroda, cim ti ne ide, oni ti okrecu ledja

[postovanje4C]

@Kikica2806 jasno sipu racku degenko!Ne trazi mi objasnjenje jer nisi sposobna da ga razumes!!!Umesto da se ponosis ti kenjas neku trulu filozofiju baziranu na nicemu!

[postovanje4C]

@Kikica2806 A jel taj federer trenirao u praznom bazenu dok okolo padaju bombe!?Jel taj nadal trenirao pod sankcijama i trepeo ponizenja zbog tog iz koje zemlje dolazi!?Da li su njih i njihov narod markirali kao zlocince i da li su oni ziveli,trenirali i uspeli pod tolikim pritiskom!?Ne seri i ne pokusavaj biti jbn.shatro evropejac bez ikakvog argumenta!Ziveo kralj NOVAK,Zivela Srbija i Srpski narod onakav kakav je a ne kakvim ga drugi predstavljaju!

[Kikica2806]

@postovanje4C Gubis se...:P

[MegaBaltazar666]

@MsShark94 A zanimljivo je to sto je Srbin izmislio prvog robota isto....samo sto ga nije sastavio...napravio je planove i sve..a neko drugi ga je sastavio :)

[febthemule1]

still grunting

[StellaRossaSRB]

Нисам знао да се у време рата и инфлације код нас играо тенис, али није ни битно, свака част Новаче, штета само сто наши лопови од власти неће видети динара јер нам не плаћаш порез, али уз тебе сам, лако је бити поштен кад немаш другог избора! Напред шампионе!

[pajamaca]

@StellaRossaSRB da..i u vreme inflacije se zestoko treniralo...zasto te to cudi, pa nije bas sve stalo tada...

[StellaRossaSRB]

@pajamaca Већина јесте..

[5TheGaga]

Videlo se jos od malih nogu da ce nam on osvetlati obraz..!! BRAVO NOLEEE..!!!♥

[patocosta1234]

haha, he still has the same grunt

[Ludichetnik]

i never understood why they scream when they hit....

nikad nisam shvatio zasto vicu kad udaraju...

[Novica89]

@Ludichetnik Zato sto se nikada nisi bavio nekim sportom,ili teretanom (ili ako jesi,nikada to nisi pravilno radio).Ne vicu toliko,koliko IZDISU kada udaraju lopticu... zasto? zato sto se pri recimo dizanju tega izdise da bi se pluca sirila,dok se pri spustanju istog izdise i tako svaki put.Smanjuje se opterecenje srca,vise kiseonika dospeva u krvotok itd... eto,sada znas

[Ludichetnik]

@Novica89 ti meni pricas o sportu....imam 19 godina i bavim se sportom 15.u teretanu idem vec 3 godine svaki dan.oni VICU!jedno je izdisaj koji samo ja cujem a drugo je AAAA koje cuje cela poblika.znam ja sta je izdisaj i ne moras me ti uciti.uvek sam mrzeo kad neko na obican komentar drugog pokusava da izigrava neku pamet i jos da vredja.

[Novica89]

@Ludichetnik JA-TEBI ! i imas 19 godina,ja imam 22... inace,gde sam te tacno uvredio? DERU se,jer je tako izdisaj JACI i samim tim udaraju lopticu jace.Dovoljno jasno?

[Ludichetnik]

@Novica89 mozes imati i 122 to je potpuno nebitno.tenis je jedini sport(izuzev dizanja tegova) gde takmicari ispustaju krike.a velika je razlika izmedju loptice od 50 grama i tega od 200 kg.igram i ja tenis i ne vicem jer za tim nema potrebe.

[Novica89]

@Ludichetnik Onda ostaje poslednja opcija... a to je da se hrabre na taj nacin :D

[Ludichetnik]

@Novica89 e to vec prihvatam :D...svako dobro!

[Novica89]

@Ludichetnik Takodje,takodje :D

[WigidyWigidyWah]

[GoFedererWoo]

Makes you appreciate just how long Fed's been around. To realise that whilst that young Djokovic, in 2001, was still learning his craft, Fed was on centre court at Wimbledon, beating the great Pete Sampras. Incredible.

[morava1]

you albanians are very agitated that the best thing to come out of Kosovo is a Serb and his name is NOVAK DJOKOVIC. too bad albanians are shit in all sports...

[Serbkules]

@Serbdestroyer777 you are as american as any other albanian gipsy. you will dig around in south serbian cities like pristina or tirana for much much more albanian monkeys and youre fucking family. you are trash that turks left in europe. they didn´t leave their donkeys or dogs, just their albanians. and trash belongs into the dustbin. an easy calculation even you little albanian monkey should get.

[sojasole]

@Serbdestroyer777 just fuck U! U,and u'r country!!!! Fuck U !!! Live us alone.....FUCK U!!!!!!!!

[SrBZeka]

@Serbdestroyer777 you don't know anything about us... we have beautiful language and custom's ... and you hate us? why ? and tell me something why we are discuss about Kosovo and Albania on this video? and btw. KOSOVO IS SERBIA and always will be.....Kosovo is the history of our people... now go to the internet and explore about us... you will see that you have wrong oppinion about many things...don'tt be racist...

live your life, leave us alone...

HES SO CUTE!!

[2good4u2betrue]

Najbolji zauvek!

[lunafringe10]

yugoslav is must be the ugliest language in the world,

[amazinglazedonut]

@lunafringe10 It does not come CLOSE to the nastiness of some of the Southeast Asian languages like Vietnamese and Khmer.

[fraka899]

@lunafringe10 as a matter of fact, I speak 11 languages. Serbian or Serbo-Croatian language is maybe the most perfect language. It is technically superior.

[13Behemoth]

@lunafringe10 It's Serbian, Yugoslav doesn't exist!!!!

It's certainly not uglier than, for example, German which sounds like a pig talk, or Scandinavian languages. However, it's a personal opinion and a matter of taste.

[lunafringe10]

@13Behemoth german only sounds like pig talk to you because serbs think and live like pigs, You fall prey to your own delusions friend

[NijeOnVecJa]

@lunafringe10 But serbs with 6 milion people are great in all sports, what would be if serbs have 30 millions??? Think about that ....
