How does Novak Djokovic deal with hatred?

Over the years, we have seen that Djokovic did not receive the same amount of crowd support as his rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. He has had to deal with hostile crowds and biased media narratives for the better part of his career. However, the Serb has more often than not come out on top amidst all the adversity. He said, “I don’t mind. It’s not the first, probably not the last time. I’ll just keep winning” when asked about how he deals with hostile crowds.

Djokovic’s mental strength and the ability to deal with hate are the major reasons why he sits at the top of men’s tennis right now.
