Novak is playing this fame thing up quite a bit. He better hope Federer doesn't see that clip. I don't think Federer is ready to lose any of the spotlight.

Federer is a much better player than Novak. It was quite the shocker when he went down to him in Australia.

I think he tries too hard, it looks a bit forced, both the personality he projects and the facial expressions.

He's young though... Will be interesting to see his personal development along with his tennis.

Yep, I agree. The guy tries way to hard. He may end up not doing well because of not being able to stay focused. We shall see.

He may be heading down a path that sucks you into that hollywood lifestyle. That has never been a good sign for an athlete.

Kind of arrogant but only when he has the stage. Keep it simple Novak. Get down to business.

I kind of like his style of comedy. but arrogance rating is equal to Roddick, which doesn't as with Roddick equate to Number 1 ranking.

The poor child doesn't know who watches whom does he?

All of you guys are.....anti social.

Yeah, I much rather like Federer's "You know I'm number one and I've got a stick up my ass attitude". Grow up Fedfans, and that goes for him as well.

at least he tries to be funny and realizes he does an incredibly silly thing for buttloads of money

I love the Fed bashers out there like zastomito taking every opportunity to bad mouth Roger even if he's not even talked about in the article. "Stick up my ass attitude"? Roger is probably the classiest number 1 player to have come along in a long time. Just because he has utterly dominated the sport without being brash, cocky and unapproachable this makes him have a stick up his ass? I dont understand why people have such a hard time respecting someone who carries himself with the utmost class and doesnt smash rackets, yells and does imitations. I guess it's not enough for some people just to admire the great tennis that is displayed when Fed takes the court.

Relax FedFans, and learn to take a joke! Novak is a breath of fresh air in a sport that too often takes itself WAAAY too seriously (they hit fuzzy yellow balls and run around a court for a pile of money, after all). And tennis players have lots of free time on their hands, so a few outside interests and a little bit of Hollywood will not only help him get paid off the court (remember Andre Agassi?), but also help repopularize tennis and have a little more fun with his life. Some of this "moralizing" about distractions, "sounding forced", "trying too hard" and "going Hollywood" smack of jealousy, rather than any real concern.

Djokovic? Yah, I like this lad. He makes the game fun. He is a character and with Safin getting bored with the tennis sure we would like someone to replace him. Djokovic is a superstar and he has the game. Don't hate him because he is friendly with Shaparova!

>Can I get more applause, I'm a bit nervous." -- Novak Djokovic

LOL

Heh, I'm gonna watch this as soon as I get home.

Why whatever the topic fed fans talk abut Roger? Please do not intrude and give us some brake.

I don't understand Federer fans. I remember when Djokovic was losing against Federer there was no problem with Djokovic. But, as soon as someone is challanging his "Highness" status WOOOW! Lot of bad reaction!
People this is tennis! Noone can stay on top forever. Hate the game but don't hate the player;)

I'm a Roger fan and not exactly a fan of Djoko, but he did great on Jay Leno.

I like him way better off court than on court.

Or, I can't believe my eyes :0... Are you all right?!:-)

Anyway, I think he did just fine. Was a bit nervous at the start, sweating a bit, but then he relaxed. It's good for tennis, I guess, we need more guys and gals like this who can create the buzz beyond hardcore fans. I also watched Federer after USO on some show, he was very good also; relaxed, cracked some jokes as well. Lodra is hilarious imo, not to mention Stepanek and JJ. Things are looking good.

Djokovic is playing very well now. It will be fun to see if the show continues. This is his time to challenge Federer if that is actually possible. Federer has always stepped up to these type of challenges.

"Women weaken legs."

These things are fantastic for tennis, but I'm a little surprised (and pleased) that he got on the Tonight Show. Agents must have been pulling strings like mad -- those impression clips probably didn't hurt either to prove he'd be a good guest. Only tennis player I remember seeing on there is Blake. I'm sure also Agassi and/or Roddick at some point. Only non-American non-Sharapova I remember seeing on a late night show before this is Federer.

I like Djokovic sarcasm! Your awsome Djokovic!!

I think hes good for tennis. Sure he's cocky, but he has more personality than Federer (or Sampras). Some players take the game way too seriously. You have to be confident to win big, and he's a future number 1.

What a great interview. Novak was perfectly charming and funny. And what an honor to be a guest after the legendary TV star and comedian Bill Cosby. Even Mr Cosby was charmed by the young Serb.

It is sad to see the Federer fans crawl out of their wormholes to act so jealously towards Novak and chide the young man for being the perfect storm to their egotistical King. Their egos have been bruised so I can't blame them for being bitter. Still, it's a shame they can't be more like their hero and learn to be more gracious.

It must be tough to be a fan of Federer, not only did His Royal Highness get beat by the better player on court but he also got beat by the bigger personality off court as well.

Amjo Nole!

Nole kicks ass!;)

So true, SOMETIMES it does look like plain jealously. Its usually pathetic, really.

jealously + fear = bash

a=ok
"not being able to stay focused"
movin it
"get down to business"

What are you talking about? Growing up in Serbia during so difficult times... he had to be very, very focused and down to business in order to become great tennis player.
He is only 20 and he has already done so much!

"I like him way better off court than on court".

Or, that's funny.

I kinda agree.

Extremely cocky and arrogant Novak (who has already lost twice this year, once to one-dimensional Roddick, once to no name Simon)will be 21 soon, and Roger still leads him head to head 5-2 (should be 7-0, in Montreal, Roger won more total games and points and lost 2 tiebreaks including the third set after blowing many set and match points, and he had mono in Australia, and still had good chances to win 2 sets, especially 1st and 3rd, and then eventually would've won match) to be honest. Realistically and statisctically and performance wise, very classy, gracious Roger has had a much better career than Novak and Roger's been a much better player too, with 12 Grand Slams so far, 53 tourney titles, and an all-time shattering record of 214 consecutive weeks earned World #1. Classless and disrespectful Novak has 0 weeks at #1 and #2, 1 Grand Slam, and very few titles, yet he acts like and thinks he's already the best player of all time, when in reality, he's no where near the best or even second best player now.
So, obviously there's no comparison between the players, and Novak and his delusional fans just can't accept the reality, honesty, facts, stats, etc. that Roger has proved and already accomplished and Novak hasn't.

Stop living in a fantasy dream world, and wake up to reality, Novak fans, and Novak himself. Novak's parents are even more classless, disrespectful and cocky than he is, and that's hard to do.

Novak not only doesn't have the results or stats to back up his cockiness, disrepect and immaturity, but he doesn't have the consistent game on court, stamina, conditioning, off court charities or tennis friends that Roger has either.
Novak and his fans can't accept that and won't accept that, regardless of the proof and reality and honesty and facts of it all.
He and his fans are too delusional and cocky and dishonest and disrepectful themselves to do so. Unfortunately and sadly and truly.

I don't see that tennis players "have lots of free time;" their schedule is 11 months long.

Novak, his family, and his fans are all definitely very jealous and envious of Roger's long success, dominance, talent, classiness, respect, etc. because they all know that Novak can never and will never match any of it off court or on court. That is all true. It is all honest. It is all reality and factual. Deal with it, Novak, his family, and his fans.
Stop being so delusional and fantasizing and dishonest, Novak, his fans and family. You're not accomplishing or proving anything, but your dishonest jealousy, and you certainly have 0 evidence of all your statements and therefore have no credibilty either. Deal with it.

The players don't really have a choice.
They all have agents and tennis events count on the player's "celebrity status" to attract fans.

He does have a way with a crowd.
Let's see know if he can stay on top with all the expectations.

Just my opinion.
New balls...

Reality check, Roger's still on top, not Novak. Roger has all the expectations, not Novak. Reality check, Novak and his fans.

I don't have anything against Novak, let me start with that. No one on this site should have anything bad to say about Federer. He much has proven himself over and over again. He has nothing left to prove to anyone. He is going in the history books as one of the best players ever (point blank period). Roger, I'm sure has nothing against Novak, and I'm sure Roger knows he will not win all the time. So for all you haters...Rodger is still the man to beat on and off the court. There is no need to tear Federer down to make Novak look better. THERE IS NO COMPETITION.

Federer is the real deal...this kid is just a wannabe...Fed Express will dominate again....Roddick will tame Novak as well!

Rafa Nadal will crush Novak at the French Open...Novak is a talented player for 2 or 3 sets then he runs at gas if he enters long matches. He seems to have health related problems at 21 years of age.

Federer and Nadal are class humble acts.....the rest need to learn professionalism and humility from them!

Roddick rules and will dominate/crush young Djokovic at the upcoming ATP events.

Pete Sampras would destroy Jokovic and teach him a tennis lesson!

Fed's the best...forget the rest.

John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg would beat Novak...too much attention to someone who beat a tired, sick Roger. (Roger should not have even played...shame on him).

Let's go Roger!

Reading this comments made me feel unpleasantly surprised. Sure Federer is one of the best players ever. But you have to realize that Novak grew up in Serbia. Serbia was bombed by NATO and USA in 1999 while Novak was practicing. If some arogant AMericans can just think about that, they would have more respect for him. He is just talent coming out of country that only has 9 million people. GIve Serbians some credit when it comes to sports. Some people do not know facts. He dooe lot of charity work.

Serbia is producing good tennis players because of "radiation?"

How can this guy not make you laugh?

^^Marat on David Letterman a few years ago when he won the USO^^

I am sure that all you Federari(f)ans are taking it very hard that he will never win a grand slam again. This year will dispatch him into oblivion.

Rob-
"Serbia is producing good tennis players because of "radiation?" How can this guy not make you laugh"

omg that was so funny I was laughing hard at that one!

fyi here is a video of James Blake on another night show-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoCeHr3dEDI

Come on guys- what 21-year old wouldn't enjoy the spotlight for six minutes on Leno? The name of the game is winning, and that's what Novak did. Win a Slam, get a seat on late-night TV. Roddick had SNL; Leno is a little better to make an American TV debut. This doesn't make him cocky. Somebody booked him a spot and he took it. What do you expect him to do, get on national TV and say "I didn't deserve to win?" He won the same seven matches that other Slam champions win, against Fed no less. He clearly likes to make jokes on and off the court. Wait six years and see how much he wins, and if he's a one-Slam-wonder, so be it. But I think he has much more up his sleeve.

Mister Djokovic is extremely cocky, arrogant and disrespectful. His young age does not explain his immaturity. Mister Djokovic is a great tennis player but I am having a really hard time watching him play because of his "body language". His behaviour off court is truly pathetic. Mister Djokovic at the Jay Leno show was even more arrogant than usual, it is time for him to come back to earth

If Federer takes the French Open Title, then all this talk about up and coming tennis stars will disappear for the moment. We need new faces for the ATP tour. Federer will win more slams but most likely will not dominate like he did for the last 4 years.

well he's agreat player ,but he needs more than 10 years of practice to be like fedrrer

So many pathetic souls here....go for it Novak ,go for it my friend!

AM I THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO COUNTS NOVAK AND ROGER AS THEIR TWO FAVORITE PLAYERS? Why can't you idiots just get along and enjoy the tennis without having to pick favorites?

all you people talking about how you don't like Novak 'cuz of his 'body language' (or whatever) are hilarious...reminds me of the moms who protested against Elvis' infernal hip-shaking habit (even though it made the moist)

all you people talking about how you don't like Novak 'cuz of his 'body language' (or whatever) are hilarious...reminds me of the moms who protested against Elvis' infernal hip-shaking habit (even though it made them
moist)

By the way you Federer fans make me sick... reaaaaally makes me not want to be lumped in with other big federer fans. federer's my fave but come on folks...his whole false modesty thing is getting a little old. it's good to see somebody with a weird personality.

Novak Djokovic and Andy Roddick - saving tennis from the despair of the bitter, jealous, boring, arrogant and humorless Federer fans.

sue, I guess you think it's opposite day. Opposite of the proven truth, reality, facts, honesty, etc.
You obviously meant to say Roger Federer - saving tennis from the despair of the bitter, jealous, boring, arrogant and humorless Djokovic and somewhat Roddick fans.
sue is the delusional, lying animal from sueland.

Let's see how far ND can go....he is just starting out really. Roddick has only 1 slam and was expected to accomplish more by now.
Personalilty is important but the bottom-line is winning and ND is capable of great things that only time will show. Federer has had a great run so far but it is not wise to count out a champion (if he still has the desire to excel). At least he has not quit at 26 years of age like Borg did went McEnroe starting knocking on his legendary door. ND definitely has the talent, skill and game to challenge for number 1 but he still has to prove it on a consistent basis if truly he can be compared to the greats of tennis. ND should stay focused and continue he path and he will be one of the greats one day.

If anyone of us had a chance to go on Leno and cash in on fame for a certain point in time in our lives...wouldn't we all go for it?
Novak is young and is enjoying his time in the sun for as long as it lasts. A true champion would be practicing and hopefully Novak has found the formula for balancing his playing time with his newly found celebrity fame...just win Noli! Now is the time when NOLI needs his family to protect him and keep him focused on tennis not fame. When you win...everyone is with you but when you lose...all you have is family and maybe some friends if you are lucky.

Some people are really poor judgment and poor nerrow mind.
How old are you? Growing up.
Novak Djokovic is not arrogant, he is very honest and very brave.
If you think he is arrogant you are two face or just a chicken.
He is the great tennis player as well great personalty and very talented. Don't jerous because you are not like Novak, he is too good and great.

So stupid arguments like the World rotates around tennis players!
Fererer is after Sampras, the best in history of Tennis.
Djokovic is the most similar to Federer's talent but Djokovic is not frustrated or inhibited out of court but relaxed and loose. Djokovic was born and grew up in free environment without pathological opression of Political Correctness but Federer as I know, grew up and lives in abnormally frustrating environment of political correctness of Western Europe. Just listen his pathetically phony behavior during his visit to some school in South Africa! Sad!

Again, Djokovic is the most similar to Federer but he is NOT Federer.

Again, Djokovic is the most similar to Federer but he is NOT Federer.

sue and jaroslav are both lying, ignorant, biased losers.

I Love Novak a great player with a good personality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The more I see the more I become aware that noboy wants to be like Roger F. aka Mono Man. I am sorry to say that but just read a bit around (J.Martin etc.).

He has lot all the respect he had with his false modesty in his stupid inteviews.

He (Roger) has lost all the respect he had with his false modesty in his stupid inteviews.

To put it right:

"ROGER HAS NO BALLS FOR TENNIS"

Love 40 is also a stupid, biased, ignorant liar. That's what I expect from a Novak fan nutcase though.

Hey, mr. administrator,

People all over the world are wondering:

why is not the video available anymore to watch???
Political problems? Someone paid you to take it off?
I would appreciate if you bring that video back. Or at least give an (wrongfull) explaination.

Thank you.

Novak was great at a show, always is a plasure to listen to him

Every match i watch, i realized how great Novak is, powerful in the court. Novak is always offering a great tennis lesson and at the same time a great show to have fun. I have no doubts that Novak is the best tennis player at a time.complete. well done Novak, congrats for your achievement, no doubts that very soon, we will see a big change in the ranking

it's unfair to hit ND below the belt and drag his family into it - out of context and plain rude. ND is confident about himself and some people see that as arrogance - at least I see it as a sign he is very assured of himself. I don't get it why people have to drop in adjectives like - humorless, arrogant and cocky. Who are we anyway to judge him (just because he beat someone). Some fans can really get so emotional. It's just a game. Some win, some lose. He get's a spot on TV and you guys make a big deal. It's obvious the audience enjoyed him - and it's his first time, duh. ND has a wonderful personality to compliment his amazing talent. If you have nothing good to say, then just leave it to yourself - no one wants to take crap from others.

What is wrong with you peapol? djokovic is a great dude with lots of humor(something the tennis needs) and his is a great tennis player, ou all just need to relax and enjoy the great tennis year we have ahed of us! i think djokovic will winn at least one more grand slam this year

Don't worry guys, as Nole would say: "I still love u guys!" ;)
Lot's of LOVE FROM SERBIA!!!

Is Novak's ego as big as his mouth? It probably is. He's quite cocky and loud.

Well, he is not a wimp for sure, as eh...you know who!

All you Roger fans out there its safe say hes an extraordinary player! However, grow up and you as well as ur idol take the stick out of ur ass and admit Djokovic is a guy that doesn't come around twice! Novak is PERFECT for tennis with the best personality and plays to impress everytime he steps out on the court!!! Its simply impossible to not laught or enjoy his game...enjoy it with a smile on ur face all you Federer fans.
CCCC

Let's see Novak's face after Nadal blasts him at the Pacific Life Semi-Final....Nadal will beat him at the French also!

"ROGER HAS NO BALLS FOR TENNIS"

Roger aka small swiss provicial farmer has no chance. (Ask kow Karen).

He is just not intelligent enough for the game.

All this hype about Roger and Joke man...watch out for Nadal and Tsonga....they are gaining on you!

ND lets get serious and represent youself like a role model. You have all the tools to be great....you are a reflection of youself, your family (including your younger brothers) and your country.
Whether you like it or not, your image is not as good as your game....you have the chance to have a great game and respect even if some people don't like you....I wish you success but you have got to earn it. We don't like it when they don't respect you man..wake up! They may hate you but they better respect you!

"Novak not only doesn't have the results or stats to back up his cockiness", get real now...the dude is amazing the only thing left is for all you loser to admit it and deal with the talent that young Djokovic has.

Novak might seem to joke all the time, but at the court he is nothing but a computer.

At the same time he is one of the most inteligent players that tennis ever had.

If radiation helps becomming a good tennis player, many of those nato soldiers in Serbian Kosovo could have become such as well. Instead, they got cancers & leukaemia, similarly to people in some other parts of Serbia which were contaminated during the bombing - and Djokovic's message is a reminder of that, perhaps too subtle when given in a sports interview.

"Lets see Novak's face after Nadal blasts him at the Pacific Life Semi-Final"..lets see Nadal's face!Nadal couldn't do anything to stop Novak,it'simply no compitition. I think it's timefor all of you Nadal and Federer fans to get real and stop lying to your self Djokovic will soon be NUMBER 1!!!

I guess I was wrong...ND steam-rolled over Nadal...and Roger quit against Fish cause he is afraid of facing ND...I hate to admit it but it is true...Federer has mentally given up and Nadal too!
No fight in them...they have realized ND is getting better and can't stop this punk kid! Novak is still a punk wannabe with no class!Let's see Novak in an intense 5 setter grasping for air with his nose so large and all his breathing problems.

Well well well all you roger fans out there...look what your idol with a stick up his ass has done now. To scared to face my champion "NOVAK". You may call him a punk but you know that hes the next number 1. Even with a breathing problem he is unstopable!

Let us see Nosenak at the French Open on clay with his great pencil neck physique run into a well oiled train named Rafa! Roger is done...put a fork in him! Rafa will get his revenge at the French Open....Novak is today's news....he is only a s set wonder boy! Let us see how he handles to pressure of being the chased not the catch.

Novak is the next great this,well he is the great thing! the boy has everything including a pencil neck! No way in stopping or competing with the boy he's amazing! Rafa is only good for clay but wen it's time to run or do it right leave it to Novak he'll get the job done! Plus he's from the same country where the hottie Ivanovic is from! All the way Novak keep it up dude.

everyone needs to settle down. stop making it such a big deal. tennis needs a little attitude in it, its the only thing missing and holding it back from becoming even more popular. yes federer is a great player but he's overly non interactive. Novak is what tennis needs, and it makes it more interesting. im young i would understand

Joke-a-nose makes fun of many people and thinks he is all that..wait until his bubble bursts...I am not a Fed fan nor Nadal..so far he is playing like # 1 and might be one soon but his personality needs work. This guy is attempting to make this the WWF of Tennis. The only thing this guy has is that he like great looking women like Maria Sharapova and Ana I.

Any pizza driver will look for a chance now against the old Fedex aka Mono Man, after Fish walkover him today. I am sorry for the guy.

Any pizza driver will look for a chance now against the old Fedex aka Mono Man, after Fish walkover him today. I am sorry for the guy.

can't wait to watch Nole today "blow Fish out the water" with his serve! Nole you are the best and all you haters hate,but his game is only getting better! Nole everyone loves you!

Nole the Nose will sniff out another victory today over Fish!

Tennis to the masses means characters will arise...Tsonga..the Ali wanabe,,Djokovic..the funny looking clown that is about to take the tennis world for a little time...Tennis has lost its prestige and luster! Next sport to go is Golf!

@ Bret L.

Tennis has lost what it was since USA (NIKE an others) have taken charge over tennis with its marketing for the masses approach. Just remember Agassi in his early days.

and the winner is.....

and the winner is.....NOVAK DJOKOVIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all of you knocking Djokovic can go f*ck themselfs... roger is on his way out... the man can't even get in the finals with Djokovic in the pacific life open and gets kicked out by the 98th stop????? Djokovic is the future!!!!!!!!!!!

keep it up Djokovic, dont change for these dicks!!!! play the game your way!!!!

ps. love to see wannabee give tennis advise and etiquette

Novak wasn't as impressive as all the Dorks (Djokovic fans) want their man to be precieved....nevertheless he did take the title from a fish out of water! If u watched the match closely, Novak is not a killer closer...he doesn't close the match like a Sampras or McEnroe. If he continues to improve his game and obtains the killer instinct....then he will be a total destructive tennis killing machine. Oh...by the way...Nadal all the way on clay!

Great start for ND in 2008..continued success in your upcoming events! Please stop imitading Federer ND...after your victories you toss your wristbands into the stands like Roger..tries to copy his website....before you know it, ND will have a foundation and become another FED HEAD! Please say it isn't so. Just concentrate and winning the Slams like FED HEAD once did before you replaced him but don't become like he was once was. Another thing, if you take your shirt off at the end of the match...add some muscle cause your body is like a pretzel...really it's embarassing. Love your game...go Novak!

If Djokovic is the future, then tennis is becoming trailor trash cause this man has no class and neither are the majority of his fans especially those that use dirty words to decribe themselves and their new tennis star! Don't hate the game...hate the player!

Djokovis vill vin Miami! Jokestar = 1.

NOVAK IS THERE TO STAY, LIKE IT OR NOT !!!!!LIVE WITH IT !!!!!!!!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!
GO SERBIA !!! GO NOLE !!! GO ANA !!! GO JELENA!!!
HATE CAN ONLY GET YOU MEDICAL PROBLEM GUYS!!!!!!!!!
HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!!!!!!

Ana I....yesyesyesyesyes...ND noooooooway! Ana I..oh yes! Jelena..not really! Ana I. is gorgeous..I root for her even if she loses...she beautiful...that's what tennis needs...more Ana I.

The future of tennis if fine if its Ana I. vs. Anna Kournikourva!

Everyone should chillax about ND, it is all about Ana I. Leno should put Ana I. on American TV....you see all the ratings go up!

Novack will be the next # 1, maybe not today or tomorrow but soon!!!

Novak will be the next # 1, maybe not today or tomorrow but soon!!! I like Federer but I am so glad to see that he finally has some competition.

To All Federer & Nadal Fans,

F*** you all! Ha! Novak just ran over Nadal like a bulldozer whereas Federer was too scared of facing the supreme Novak that he tank his match against Fish. All you bitter & sissy Roger/Raffa fans are very gay, just like your gay idols. Roger the Pretender (phony modesty shit) will always be the gay who can't win on clay.And Raffy will always be the crotch grabbing, ass digging lass who can't win on grass.

People...Djokovic has proven himself as a player these past few months and that is noteworthy. But, the no.1 of any sport is much like the sport's ambassador. He/she represents and embodies the philosophy behind the sport. With tennis being a "gentleman's game", I personally see Federer in a much better light than Djokovic because Novak is still too much a kid. He has himself claimed that he wants to be seen and known as a great tennis player and as a great champion. And for him to do so, he needs to realize when funny works and just when he needs to act maturely, and not just on court, but also off court. Non-tennis fans can only asses Novak's personality based on how he carries himself at such events, and this is certainly not the class that tennis embodies.

I do not believe this! What's with you guys?!
I am a Serb and very proud on this guy. F is great but be realistic.
P.S.
"Novak is serbian pig" - someone wrote.
My God, cannot believe.

Novak in Miami???? The pressure of trying to be # 1 is not as easy as it seems....it is all a learning experience. Fed loses to # 98 and Novak loses to # 127 or so....let's see new faces for the men's tour come about!

And the winner is................CHOKE-a-Witch! Oh no you didn't...don't go there! Humble pie maybe....let's get serious!
Hard Court Specialist Defending CHUMPION chokes big time in Miami!

ATP Tennis....u got to LOVE IT. It's becoming bette than the NBA but not the NFL!

Jerkovic should make a wish and pray clay season is kind to him!
OK....everyone has a bad day! That's why you play the game...anything can happen! What was the excuse in Miami?:
1. my shoe lace broke
2. I have never played him before
3. I'm tired! At 21 years of age....brother please!

What it be like Holmes?

Novak's magical rise/run for number 1 hit a realistic shock in Miami because his temper got the best of him! He became nervous and lost focus. He'll be back and hopefully he will learn to keep his mind on his game. It's hard to win consistently and that is why Federer's accomplishments in the last four years is a great compliment to his greatness. Keep the faith Novak! You are young and ambitious and very capable of greatness! Good luck in your quest!

Well, well, well...what can I say about Mr. Sensesation, boy-wonder
legend in his own mind to be Novak Djokovic...he blew his ranking points due to his ineffective, inefficient, eractic behavior and play. He performs well when expectations are low but seems to have trouble in pressure situations. Rest up and get ready for clay season cause Mr. Rafa Nadal is waiting for payback time!
Hopefully, Novak can gain points back during the clay season cause last year he didn't fair so well and could make some points back!
Nevertheless, men's tennis is getting more interesting every day!

Hit the road Novak...don't you come back no more no more..hit the road Novak...don't u come back no more!

Game, set and Match! BYE BYE Novak! I love it when a plan comes together and ND shows his true colors! Looooooooserrrrrr!

Alrighty then! Look at all the fun ND has created...now we can make fun of this pathetic game! Just kidding....it is all fun!

You cannot be serious.... this must be the pits of the world losing in the first round of a prestigious event! ND understands this is just fun...he is into jokes and stuff! It's not personal!

Hey Nole....don't get mad...get even and win some slams now!
Turn this jest into positive energy and show the world u can do it!

people, come on now be serious...Everyone loses its called a game (dont bet on it)our number 1 with a stick up his ass has lost to a wat 80-something! Novak is the future and wat tennis needs he is why it has been said that ATP tennis is better den NBA...Thanx Novak u make want to watch the game of tennis. If i only had the ass picking Rafa and the fake stick up his ass Fed i would never turn the channel on...man u rock!

Rafael Nadal and his team escorted Novak's friend Ana Ianovic with her family to Miami on his airplane after losing at Indian Wells. Not bad for picking what.... huh! He just picked up the prettiest girl in tennis!

To be the man...you must beat the man and do it on a consistent basis! Federer is still the man and hasn't given up yet folks.
Novak is on track but don't count your chickens until they hatch!
Rafa is a nice guy who is extremely atheletic but he is a better soccer player than a tennis professional. Watch out for Frenchman Tsonga...he's got game (the serve along with the offensive and defensive tools to do damage). Watch out for this guy!

Ana was escorted by the ass picking Rafa...Eww in my opinion and Novak is with maria come on people stay in your on nationality please!!! serbs with serbs all the way

Maria Sharapova and Novak D make a nice couple! Hopefully, it will work out like Agassi and Graf! Tennis Love!

I would love to see Ana and Novak..that would be so0o0 cute! But yea like Yovana said serbs go well with serbs but Rafa and Ana are cute also "tennis love"<3

O.K, I like both tennis players. Federer is great and he will remain on top whatever. However, What do all of you have against Djokovic? He is not a wannabe. He is a great tennis player, and is only 20. He has so much going for him, and he doesn't need selfish wannabe tennis players like you all are, tearing him down. I have nothing against either tennis player. They are both great. All i want to know is what did Djokovic ever do to you guys, to make you guys hate him so much? I think you all are just not ready for a change.

i think he has every right to be arrogant cause he comes from one of the smallest and most war ravaged countries in the world, a country which not only is producing great tennis players now but has for ages been winning back to back titles in Basketball, volleyball and many other sports. Federer is still at the top but with Djokovic and Tipsarevic on the rise it's not sure for how long he will be there. I watched the show and i thought he handled himself well, if we could only get more players exposed like that it would be good for tennis.

-If radiation helps becomming a good tennis player, many of those nato soldiers in Serbian Kosovo could have become such as well. Instead, they got cancers & leukaemia, similarly to people in some other parts of Serbia which were contaminated during the bombing - and Djokovic's message is a reminder of that, perhaps too subtle when given in a sports interview. -

At last someone understood the point. But, we still love you.. Novak is a young man with dignity, and without arogancy..very intelligent man and above all he has a very good soul. Don't be jealous. Mr. Federer would not approve such comments about Novak.
Regards from Belgrade.

we love you!go on!you are the best!!!
kosovo is serbia!!!

Nole is a great player. Probably he will soon take the second place in the ATP ranking. But, because of his irregularity, he won´t be the first in the next two or three years.

It was a very big surprise how poorly the number one seed played! im actually shocked! And all of you federer fans who are disliking and name calling Novak Djokovic its because you are all afraid to face the fact that he will be the next NUMBER 1!!!(and that very very very VERYYYYYYY SOON) so just deal with it, and federer had his time now its NOVAK!!! So love him or hate him...but you better RESPECT him!!!

of course that novak djokovic is better then federer,actualy nole is much,much better than enyone.....do u guys think way is that???
simple,couse HE IS SERBIAN

OMG!Everybody should just get over Federer and Novak!I think you are all forgetting one important person and that is NADAL! Even though, I find him immensely annoying and sometimes just plain weird, you can't deny the fact that is is SUPER TALENTED. For example, the French Open.

Ohh please not that important if we are all forgetting about him(Nadal) he is only good on clay! Nole is the most important!

I personaly dont have anything against Nadal and Federer. But Nadal thinks he is alittle to good and he is really not all that great! Novak too is a show off, but at least he has the skilss to show it of! And Federer is loosing his focus and he will soon lose his number one spot and i think we all know to who...(novak)come on people not rocket sience.

at age of 20 Fedex was 13th on ATP list, and Novak is 3rd - go figure

What are these people talking about, hes 20 years old let him have his fun

What's up!

Its okay i agree that Novak will never be Roger Federer, but i do think he bring fresh air just the same that Rafa.
I dont`think that any one is going to achives Roger 04,05,06 level, but, can anybody tell me that in 2003 someone was going to think Rogers was gonna improve so much to become the monster he became next year???
Let the kid enjoy, and will see.

Are you kidding Novak will never be Roger...why would Novak want to be Roger, he is way better than roger could have ever been at 20years of age. Novak is only 20 and is #3 in the world where was Roger wen he was 20...ummmm exactly. People get ur facts straight before you talk.

Nova can play hard ball but not syle like Roger nor Nadal not either like Tsonga!

Too much talking and demanding more on the court make me like Nole less. Cheering is optional and depand on your opponent. Stay away from Maria or you will endup getting a Nazi salute from her dad like he did in Melbone.

as someone noticed, and i'm sure many of us've been wondering "what's going on with the link on top???" can't find it anywhere... anyone bother to post a link from J Leno show???
p.s. nothing better to do but bash ND??? get a life...

NOVAK JE NAJBOLJI !!!

hey everyone i tried to find a link from the jay leno show check it out if it works i hope!!! ENJOY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiIVOUKzu5s

John u ARE THE MAN!!! i've been looking for this for a while now, evidently unsuccessfully... ;) Many thanks! Cheers m8!

Hm, are you sure? I'm positive Sharapova will take him out..... With a punch.

Aw, no. Novak jokes around majority of the time how can anyone tell how he really feels towards things. Such as Mariah Sharapova. I think he is attracted to her, but not that there is a lot between her and him together. She probably doesn't have much thought on him.

EVERYONE ON HERE HAS MISTAKEN CONFIDENCE WITH ARROGANCE. DJOKOVIC JUST BELIEVES IN HIM SELF AND YOU CRITICIZE HIM BECAUSE YOU ARE IN DENIAL AND ARE AFRAID THAT HE IS THE TRUTH.

YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT HE IS YOUNG, WE HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS CLOSE WITH FEDERER WHEN HE WAS 20 BECAUSE HE SUCKED THEN, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD HE NEED TO GO TO ANGER MANAGEMENT.

ALSO FEDERER IS ARROGANT ALSO, HE DOES NOT LIKE TO GIVE CREDIT TO NOVAK WHEN THEY PLAY. HE CLAIMS THAT NOVAKS WINS ARE INSIGNIFICANT. IS THAT NOT ARROGANCE???

ITS EVEN WORSE TO DISMISS ANOTHER PLAYER RATHER THEN TO SAY THAT YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN BEAT THE NO. 1 PLAYER.

DJOKOVIC HAS MORE CLASS IN MY EYES THEN FEDERER.

NOVAK (AINT NO) DJOKOVIC!!!!

FEDERER FANS SUCK BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST LIKE FED. STUCK UP ARROGANT, ANAL, EVERYTHING HAS TO BE JUST PERFECT PEOPLE.

FEDERER WILL NOT GET 14 GRAND SLAMS NOR DOES HE DESERVE IT, NOVAK WILL STOP HIM.

Boy the Feda-philes are out is force... Djokovic is a great guy, an eastern european version of Roddick in a way. He's enjoyable, fun to watch. He's got some growing up to do and a bit of a Serb-chip on his shoulder.

He's going to mature into a very fine player and statesman for the sport. Much more fun to be around than Fed and is huge appendage on his cheek.

homos......anti serbian

you guys are full of bs! Djokovic is young guy and beating everyone on the tennis field.... Srbija!!!!!!

Hahaa yea "homos", dude get a life Serbians are the best they dominate in everything they do, and do it with a smile kinda hard to say wen ur not a serb but i love the people & the contry,amazing food, friendly people and hot girls!

Roger Federer beat Novak cause Nole quit...why quit...finish the gtame...don't make an excuse...
