"Being controversial doesn't mean you're real"; "Finally someone says it clearly" - Tennis fans split after Patrick Mouratoglou defends Novak Djokovic

French tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou has left tennis fans divided after coming out in support of Novak Djokovic, who was recently criticized by Nike director Mike Nakajima.Nakajima's comments on Djokovic were published in the book 'The Roger Federer Effect' authored by Simon Chambers and Simon Graf. The book includes an account of Nakajima questioning Djokovic's marketability as opposed to Rafael Nadal's and Roger Federer's. The Nike director also mentions that a 'dark cloud' looms over the Serbian star, which he believes is a consequence of his own doing.Renowned tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou took to Twitter to voice his support for Djokovic in light of Nakajima's comments.&quot;To answer Nakashima(Nakajima) about Nike and Novak: Whether we agree or not, like or dislike Novak, I personally prefer a real human being with his qualities, his beliefs and his flows (falws) than a perfect untrue image of perfection.
