"Novak Djokovic should be prominently featured! Are you really that bitter?" - Tennis fans call out Wimbledon for snubbing Serb in latest promo

Novak Djokovic’s fans were enraged by the Wimbledon promo that was aired recently, as the seven-time champion barely got a second’s footage in the video. They opined that the Serb should have been prominently featured in the video instead of a split-second toward the end of the promo.The Serb has won the Wimbledon Championships seven times - 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022. Djokovic also played the longest final at the Championships in 2019, beating Roger Federer 7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12 in four hours and 57 minutes.The 2023 Wimbledon promo headlined the great rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, Coco Gauff, Ons Jabeur, Nick Kyrgios, Andy Murray, and Elena Rybakina. It also showcases youngsters like Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek. But it only shows Novak Djokovic in one still as the reigning champion.Tennis fans were infuriated by the video promo, stating that the organizers of the grass slam were “bitter” and Novak Djokovic deserved to be featured prominently in the video. Another fan also expressed that Wimbledon did not appreciate the 23-time Grand Slam champion the way they should.“Unbelievable that you would intentionally put out this video Wimbledon!

As a result, the 36-year-old surpassed Rafael Nadal’s tally of 22.20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer recently lauded Djokovic on his feat and stated it was “incredible.” The Swiss Maestro also expressed he was very happy for the World No. 1 and wished him the best for the future.“I thought what Novak did is incredible,” said Federer. “Novak pushed it (the all-time men’s singles Grand Slam record) to 23, and he looks like he’s gonna keep on doing that for a long time still to come, which is great. And I wish him all the best.”Roger Federer also opined that it was a great time to be a tennis fan and a player, with the likes of himself, Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams, and Novak Djokovic setting unimaginable records.“Honestly, it’s great for tennis, great for sports when tennis writes its own history and keeps on adding to it,” said Federer. “Like we’ve seen with Serena Williams as well, Rafa then myself and now with Novak. It’s a great time in tennis to be a fan as well, but also a player.”Djokovic is far from done adding to his insurmountable records and will begin his preparation for a record-equaling eighth Wimbledon crown and a record-extending 24th Major title.
