Novak Djokovic always gets temperamental when the crowd supports the other guy: Boris Becker
Boris Becker's documentary 'Boom! Boom! The World vs. Boris Becker' was recently released on Apple TV+. The documentary explores the highs and lows of Becker's celebrated on-court career, as well as his tumultuous personal life. This includes his entanglement in a financial fraud case that ultimately led to his imprisonment in 2022.
In a snippet released by the streaming platform, the German shared an insight into Novak Djokovic's temperament. He identified the Serb as a very emotional player who tends to get agitated when the crowd supports his opponent. He added that the World No. 1 uses this as a motivation to play better.
"Novak is very emotional. He always gets temperamental when the crowd supports the other guy. And he's using that to show with his fingers off into the crowd that you have woken me up now. I'm going to beat this guy," Becker said.
Djokovic played under Boris Becker's tutelage between 2013 and 2016.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion made an appearance in the documentary, where he shed light on his perspective regarding tennis.
"It's a battle. It's a fight. Unpredictable things happen. Somebody takes you out of your comfort zone, right?" Djokovic said.
