In the High Performance podcast, Boris Becker spoke about Novak Djokovic, the player he coached from 2014 to 2016. He particularly discussed the public's love for Roger Federer and how the Serbian player dealt with it.
He explains: "Federer was always Djokovic's enemy, especially at Wimbledon, for two reasons: because he was very good on grass and because he was the most beloved.
So I explained to Djokovic that the people in the stands weren't against him, but that they were there to cheer for Federer, so he shouldn't take it personally and had to fight to find a way to make himself loved by these people.
