Novak Djokovic is ready to become the greatest male tennis player of all time but love and adoration may not follow

ABC  

As he returns to the site of his biggest on-court scandal for the US Open, world number one Novak Djokovic will be chasing a piece of history that will forever set him apart from rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

Some days, as his Aussie sparring partner Nick Kyrgios said, it's like Djokovic has a "sick obsession" with wanting the adoration he never really gets. Djokovic then obliterated his Head racket after losing the bronze medal match to Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta and quit on his mixed doubles partner Nina Stojanovic ahead of their medal match, citing a left-shoulder injury.
