Searching for Novak: The man behind the enigma Hardcover – August 6, 2024

I got interested in tennis as a player and fan in the 1970s, at which time Jimmy Connors was my favorite professional. Then in 1989, a young guy named Pete Sampras caught my attention. After he retired, I saw the rise of Federer and Nadal and liked them both. But this guy Djokovic really caught my attention as a player and personality in his earlier Djoker phase. The fact that he could rise to become part of the Big 3 and then ultimately ascend to the GOAT was an amazing journey to behold.In addition to being a great athlete, Novak is unique in that his level of introspection is off the charts; he’s not afraid to tell the world what’s on his mind on a wide variety of subjects.This book really captures this aspect of his personality. My only slight nit to pick is that the author should have cited Jon Wertheim for the 60-Minutes interview, as Jon is a tennis expert and a key team member of The Tennis Channel.It’s going to be interesting to see what Novak achieves once he retires from tennis.

The book was sort of repetitive, but I am a Novak fan so I didn’t mind too much. I did skim some of it though.

Good book and great insights about Novak. I enjoyed the book!

Amazing

This book is a compilation of information culled from the new, newspapers, interviews and so on. The author has also added some commentary and speculation.If you really want to learn about Novak…this is probably a good place to start if you don’t have much access to the internet.I did not find much new here for me to learn as I have read a great number of articles About Novak over the years.Still, an enjoyable read. Thank you .
