He is a "go-together" in the West. An "unfortunate" Serb. "It doesn't fit into the picture. Eccentric. Intruder. Line error."

In retrospect, I congratulate Miklós Novák on his article ( Djokovic as the ambassador of Subcarpathia , June 6), because he found the essence of the western world's resentment towards the Serbian tennis player, Novak Djokovic, fantastically.

And this is because he is a "joiner" in the West. An "unfortunate" Serb. As Miklós Novák puts it, "it doesn't fit into the picture. Eccentric. Intruder. Line error."

Sure, sure. At that time, Mónika Szeles from Novi Sad, the world number one tennis player of Hungarian origin, told in smaller circles that even though she may be the biggest and the best, in the eyes of the Western audience, the Western media and the Western elite, she is "just" an Eastern European, Balkan girl . She is not worthy of being starred, like Martina Navratilová, Chris Evert or even Steffi Graf, who were already considered American at the time.

Novak Djokovic won the Paris Open Tennis Championship, Roland Garros, and thus reached the top. No man has ever won a total of 23 Grand Slams. He overtook 22-time winner Rafael Nadal and 21-time winner Roger Federer. This actually made him the most successful tennis player of all time.

Rafael Nadal was among the first to politely congratulate him. That's right, that's how it should be. Many people followed his example, I will not list the big names.

However, the most famous player in the world, Roger Federer, has not yet done this as of the moment of my writing. He is the one whom the entire Western tennis world proclaimed as the most elegant, best, and most impeccably mannered tennis player.

I hope Federer doesn't forget the congratulations.

And now the Western sports and not only sports public is apparently in big trouble.

Because a Serbian tennis player apparently unloved, unaccepted and unappreciated by them became the best in the world.

This is embarrassing, very embarrassing. The confusion can be felt in the Western, I can say, globalist and liberal public opinion. They can neither spit this thing out nor swallow it.

Let them suffer, they deserve it. The man who has tried almost everything in recent times has been crucified so many times - but never humbled himself! – to walk in their favor, to win their love. Yes, I think so: Djokovic is also human, he longed to be loved by, for example, the French or English public.

But he never got that. Now, not even in Paris. They almost always cheered against him from the hip in the so-called developed world, but otherwise also on the courts of other countries (respect to the exception), since they learned that Djokovic should be hated if he doesn't do this, a suspicious person, a suspicious audience, a suspicious country. And now in Paris, a 36-year-old world number one tennis player is booed by the spectators when he grooms himself for three minutes! And when everyone knows that at this age it is already a miracle that tennis players can play and are not injured! It was a terrible jerk on the part of the French. But they are the West, as we know...

And it's not because the other suffering subject is called Taylor Fritz, but the fact is that the Parisian, well-off and well-educated French middle class behaved amazingly towards Fritz as well (the poorer ones can't afford the ticket prices). He's American, but if they don't like someone...

There were and still are three big problems with Djokovic: the first, of course, is that he is Eastern European, Balkan, therefore backward and a jerk (who is a jerk, really?), the second is that he is a true patriot, and who dared to express his opinion that Kosovo for him, he is not indifferent and wants peace, and the third is that he considers the acceptance or non-acceptance of vaccination to be a human rights issue, a part of human freedom.

I deeply reject the Western position on all three issues. Djokovic has become a phenomenon, his performance goes beyond sports, and the behavior of the West towards him shows everything about the hypocritical, useless liberalism and globalism. The "mainstream" despises the national feeling, and of course they are there for Covid vaccines and for making them mandatory, since these vaccines are so reliable, there is no mention of side effects...

Over the years, Djokovic has become a real gentleman, with impeccable manners, speaks several languages, speaks politely about the audience even if he doesn't deserve it, about everyone, sponsors, organizers, etc. he has a good word or two, he behaves gallantly, and of course he also has feelings.

It shows the West an example of patience and respect as long as possible.

For the West, which behaves more and more in a low-style, primitive, biased and prejudiced manner - even in and around the tennis courts.

Fortunately, in sports, the results speak for themselves. Congratulations to Djokovic!
