“Embarrassing thing to believe” – Brash Novak Djokovic claim from sports content creator goes viral & leaves tennis fans shocked
Novak Djokovic has been a force to be reckoned with for the past two decades. Even in the twilight of his career, his fellow pros have scratched their heads while trying to outlast him. However, Francis Ellis, the host of the Son of a Boy Dad podcast, has a bold take on squaring off against the Serbian maestro on the court.
While Ellis remains realistic about his chances of completely trouncing Djokovic, he has backed himself to win at least a point in each game on his serve in a full set of tennis. While weighing in on which sport is harder to get into: tennis or golf? Ellis said in a video posted by Barstool Sports on X:
“I think that if I played Novak Djokovic in a full set of tennis, on my serve, I might win one point per game
His hot take left fans perplexed as they tried to comprehend his remark. While some hoped it was a “ploy” from Ellis, others called it “insane” and trolled him as a user wrote on X:
“I sincerely hope you said this as a ploy to get somebody good to challenge you for content. Otherwise, assuming you aren’t a D1 level player, that’s an embarrassing thing to actually believe.
“Insane take. You’d never even come close to winning a point against Djokovic,” a user remarked
“He probably wouldn’t be able to even make contact with most shots,” a user stated.
“The funniest part is that Francis probably believes that point is absolutely happening,” a user noted.
“To be fair he did hedge himself with I might,” another user added
