Novak Djokovic on the importance of routines<\/h3>\n

Novak Djokovic has been dubbed \u201cconfrontational\u201d by four-time Wimbledon semi-finalist Tim Henman. The Serbian has clashed with fans during matches in the past and has struggled to attain the same sort of adulation bestowed on the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal throughout his career.<\/p>\n

Last month, Djokovic sarcastically applauded the Wimbledon crowd after they appeared to revel in one of his wayward serves during his semi-final showdown with Jannik Sinner. And he cupped his ear to spectators after being booed during his defeat to Carlos Alcaraz in the final.<\/p>\n

Away from his conflicts on the court, Djokovic was caught up in a frenzy of emotion when he was banned from last year\u2019s Australian Open and deported from Australia following his refusal to get the Covid-19 vaccination. And Henman believes Djokovic is someone who can be divisive.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s always been a character that has slightly divided opinion and that\u2019s not always just because of his tennis and [could be down to] some of the decisions he has made off the court,\u201d the 48-year-old told Express Sport. \u201cBut having watched him a lot, he\u2019s almost a confrontational character.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if he had 80 per cent of the crowd\u2019s support I still think he is the type of person who would focus on the [other] 20 per cent and use it to motivate him, to fire himself up. I find it fascinating that he does sometimes focus on what seems like individuals in the crowd that maybe are against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut whatever way he approaches it, you can\u2019t deny it doesn\u2019t work for him because his results have just been incredible.\u201d Djokovic is the most successful men\u2019s player of all time after winning a record 23 Grand Slam titles.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final of this year\u2019s Australian Open before getting the better of Casper Ruud in the French Open showpiece event. But the veteran then came unstuck against Alcaraz in the final of Wimbledon after losing a five-set thriller.<\/p>\n

Djokovic and Alcaraz are the two frontrunners to win this year\u2019s US Open, which is set to get underway on Monday. And Henman has tipped to Serbian to win the Flushing Meadows title for the fourth time of his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me I\u2019ve talked about the rivalry of Alcaraz and Djokovic,\u201d added the former British No 1. \u201cDjokovic is, in my opinion, still the man to beat. We shouldn\u2019t forget that he won the Australian Open, French Open, was in the final of Wimbledon in a fifth set. He hasn\u2019t had a bad year. And given his experience in Slams and his ability on hard courts, I definitely think he\u2019s the player to beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US Open returns exclusively to Sky Sports and NOW with access to all court feeds from 28 August.<\/strong><\/p>\n
