Djokovic done the sponsors a favour it was the only time I noticed the sign..

Thats why i don't like this guy, the man has two faces if he wins then he"s a showman but if he loses or doesn't go like he wants the guy is so frustrating and annoying which is a shame because he can play tennis for sure but I don't like him

[TheOpinionatedPerson]

So basically you don't like people who experience different moods

[reddevilkev]

well that's your opinion

Not sure about the bench :), but if you have never seen these two that you mentioned smashing racquets - you haven't seen too much of tennis.

Fed is class? Please, dont make me laugh. In the Australian Opan final, after he lost the match against Nadal, he started to cry and he didn't even congratulate to Nadal, the only thing he managed to say was that he was "so close". He said he had lost the match cause he made errors, not because Nadal was better. It's always about him. That's real class.

Why would that be his "second face"? :) If he wins, isn't it normal to be happy and satisfied, and if he loses to be frustrated? Aren't we all behaving like that? Does it mean we all have "two faces" or you are hi-tech robot who uses the same face for the weddings as well as for the funerals?

He is only human as we are and he cant smile all the time as Joker.

Djokovic is not in the same league as Nadal or Federer nor does he have the same class... I mean, did you ever see Nadal or Federer destroying a bench with their racket, particularly in a Grand Slam final...?

[TheCharbMusic]

did you film that with your calculator

[Sundin456]

If Serena Williams did that she would of gotten like a $50,000 fine lmao.

[XXdrag0nl0rdXX]

[Curran Chapman]

Wow, that debris went straight to Djokovic's face

[etheralx23crisis]
