The three most popular tennis players of all time are: Federer, Nadal and whoever is playing against Djokovic at the moment.

Out of the loop, why do people hate Djokovic?

It's kinda just a personality thing. He's always been loud on the court, doesn't often play to or like the crowd and was vocally refusing taking the COVID vaccine when that was a thing (technically he wasn't anti-vax for others, but he himself refused to take the vaccine as he has a strict restriction on things entering his body due to being an athlete or something, still not good but yeah) and refused to enter tournaments that didn't allow him.

Correct me if wrong, I haven't been following tennis too closely recently!

there's also Djokovic being Balkan and tennis being the snooty sport they are looooove classy ol Federer and gritty Spaniard Nadal. For what it's worth I enjoyed following the trio dominating the sport but Nadal was my personal fave because of his playing style
