You are ugly.. doubles with Nick... I find it as a beautiful gesture by the GOAT nole as Nick is one of the very few people who was supporting nole during 22AO so nole is reciprocating ..what a beautiful sole

No, ironically, that is one of the things that seals his name as the greatest.
The greats pick the worst and carves out of them some positive stuff.
People not wanting to associate with a Nick isn't the way. Just as hating does not heal hate. Loving does.

Now say it with a liiiiiiiittle more excitement 😂 — it’s only the biggest doubles pairing news for 2025 so far.

Andddd...that's one of the "little" things that Novak do from time to time in order to not be liked. What a shame for a champion of his stature. People is still wondering why he will never be liked as Roger or Rafa...
