Novak Djokovic and Emma Raducanu do not deserve mistreatment, says the main tennis voice

Novak Djokovic and Emma Raducanu do not deserve mistreatment, says the main tennis voice

Novak Djokovic and Emma Raducanu are unfairly “ broken as bad guys ” by facial social media trolls, according to the former player and respected diffuser Naomi Broady.

Despite their impressive achievements on the biggest stages of tennis, Djokovic And Radicanu are regularly at the end of the negativity of elite shooters who seem to savor their reverse.

Djokovic was bizarrely hue by spectators after being forced to leave his Australian open semi-final against Alexander Zverev last month due to an injury, despite his status as the most successful male tennis player .

Meanwhile, Raducanu is constantly abused by elite shooters on social media platforms, despite the positive impact she had on so many young girls since her emblematic victory at the US Open 2021.

Now Broady, who reached a career summit of 76 in March 2016, told Tennis365 that Djokovic and Raducanu were victims of a critical audience who liked to throw sports champions in a negative light.

“I do not know if this is a case that someone should be thrown as bad and you have to say” sorry it’s you “, said tennis sky sports commentator, Broady in tennis365 in an interview exclusive.

“Why should he be Djokovic?” Why should Emma Raducanu get these negative comments? They did nothing but do incredible things in tennis.

“Maybe it’s jealousy, or just people are unable to understand what they have done and understand the hard work that went there.

“You must also understand what it means for them. We sometimes do not see people like humans and simply see them as robots.

“Besides, people would they say these negative things to their face if they were lucky to meet them?” Probably not. “”

Broady is the mother of two young children and suggests that parents must monitor their children’s online activity to ensure that they are not affected by too much negativity.

“Social media is difficult and education is important,” added Broady.

“Many people control what their children are looking at on social networks, but it is a very different story when you are in the eyes of the public.

“This account can be controlled by someone else if you are a better tennis player, but it’s a massive part of who you are.

“It is your ability to control your own story, which you don’t always have the opportunity to do. Sponsors also want this presence on social networks.

“There are certainly advantages and disadvantages to social media, but I would never include images of my children there and I choose and choose the parts of my life to share and which parts remain private.”

Broady also gave Tennis365 his point of view on Raducanu hopes for 2025, when she insisted for her recent setback to the Australian Open and two first round defeats that followed in the following tournaments should not not trace his confidence.

“People who have this attitude and say that Emma was lucky when we won the United States Open does not understand tennis,” Broady told Tennis365. “You hear them say that she is a wonder to a slam and it was a stroke of luck that she won the US Open.

“If you understand tennis, you will know that it is not possible. You cannot qualify, win seven games without dropping a set and winning a big slam by chance.

“She has the level and she has to go back and it is incredibly difficult not to look at these articles online and to be trained in negativity.

“I hope that the team around it will help it and that may be why in the past year or two, it has made this circle closely smaller. She needs this protection around her.

“She puts a lot of work on the ground and I like her rental of Yutaka Nakamura. He is such a adorable guy and they will adapt incredibly well to their personality. He is also one of the best in tennis in what he does.

“He will also provide him with a lot of support on how to manage his body, because as we saw with Jack Draper, he obtained fantastic results when he managed to do it.

“I think it’s a similar story with Emma. She has the talent and she just needs her body to play ball and allow her to win the number of games she needs to return to the top of the classification. I think it will come, but we just need to give him time. »»

Raducanu is currently thinking about his options on his next coach meeting after Nick Cavaday has chosen to leave his team on health fields after the Australian Open.

It was a blow for the British No. 2, but she is still well placed to break in the top 50 WTA rankings in the coming months if she can avoid injuries and find victories.
