Novak Djokovic is a very passionate player who might or might have a few outbursts during a match, and sometimes, he needs to be creative about it.
Outbursts in tennis are common, particularly as this new generation of tennis players are not shy about showing their emotions. It was once considered undesirable to do so, yet nowadays, fans appreciate players who show their emotions.
As someone who showed it often, John McEnroe is one of those who defends it in modern times, calling it abnormal not to show emotions. Quite a few times, that emotion is a passionate outburst when things don't go well, and Djokovic is one of the players that do too.
He's not known as the coolest person in the room, but with code violations on the line, sometimes he needs to get creative about the way he lets his frustration be known, and he talked about it ahead of the 2023 Paris Masters.
The problem we have, because of the success of Croatian and Serbian players in the last 30 years or so, we unfortunately have a situation where most of the umpires understand the swearing words. So we have to play around a little bit, we have to use the slang, create new words, but when you're p***** off you don't think about creating.
Djokovic often times even clashes with his team who just try to show him support. He admitted earlier this year that he can be quite hard with his team but it's a setup that works realyl well for him now. He reiterated that it's a really professional relationship despite it sometimes not looking that way.
Goran and the rest of the team are trying to find new ways to motivate me. They haven't been succeeding much so far. We have a lot of fun, we are great friends. We have a professional relationship.
