Should Djokovic drop his nice-guy, PC act and embrace his role as a tennis heel? We already see his true personality on court sometimes, but he is obviously very careful to come across as a face for sponsorship purposes and all that.

But should he embrace the "bad boy" role and go full heel? Would that make him into a mega-mega star like McEnroe? Would he play even better tennis?

More popular as a babyface, so a face turn is likely after this match.

He's not a jerk at all. He does have his frustrated moments on court but that doesn't make him a jerk, his funny and good side that he presents looks natural to me, but yeah he is being PRovic at the moment and isn't being very loose with his behavior.

I wanna see him drop some elbows on Nadal's water bottles to send a message for clay season.

 

[Wimbles]

No way
He looks like a wimp to be honest. I'd not be scared at him ranting at me and skinny as shit. It'd be like Popeye before the spinach.

True, which is why Nadal is such a good heel, he tries to intimidate opponents with his muscles.

Djokovic could actually be a badass rebel face like Stone Cold.

 

[nadalfan2015]

Exactly my thoughts. HE tries to shed his emotions like Fedal but the problem is that the members of Fedal are slightly introvert and shy. Thus, they hide their real emotions for the PR purpose. Novak being an extrovert guy fails to do the same.

Tennis needs a villain in this bunch of PR driven bots.

How is he a natural heel when he cares that much about his public perception? PRovic is one thing, but unfortunately he also has this inner desire to be loved by the crowd. He's a child of war in the end, and thus his entire personality is naturally pretty unsteady.

Novak is more of a John Cena than a natural heel.

The ballboy sure was.

 

[Victorious PIG]

Agreed. Djokovic needs to learn to play against the crowd because it's going to be like this. Only way I see it getting better is a few years from now, when he's no longer a serious contender. Hewitt gets much more love from the crowd now that he is a "has-been."

 

[BULLETS]

Hes a natural dick and it come out sometimes that arrogance is what makes him good though.
We all saw what his father said when he had a chance to express his unfiltered thoughts.

 

[Moonball Pusher]

Novak is more of a John Cena than a natural heel.

No way. Why do you say that?

 

[Wimbles]

His personality is unsteady? No it's just fake. He's entitled; his apologists can deny it all they want but his attitude stinks of shit.

He wins a lot, well done to him but he's a humourless crybaby. Child of war? Whatever.

 

[Transcender]

Murray is already the heel, Nole is not, Andy is the heel to Nole, Rafa and Fed.

 

[Moonball Pusher]

Murray is already the heel.

Yeah but nobody takes Murray seriously because he's not winning anything.

 

[nadalfan2015]

I understand the comparison with John Cena. Cena is polarizing due to trying too hard to be loved.

 

[Transcender]

Yeah but nobody takes Murray seriously because he's not winning anything.

Well then he's playing his role, because heels don't usually win.

You need to check the vocabulary. OR are you referring to Fedal?

 

[Moonball Pusher]

He gets a lot more heat when he's winning though.
