I don't think he gets that much hate, but I think it bothers Djokovic and his fans that he will never be as beloved as Roger and Rafa, no matter how many slams he wins. hate to admit it, but Kyrgios spoke truth on this one.
I'd say it's mostly due to him not having as strong a signature characteristic as the other two that fans can identify with. Roger is loved for his beautiful/elegant game and demeanor, and Rafa for his fire and unbreakable will. This comparison has been made before, but cheering for Djoker is kind of like cheering for an android. a game with zero weaknesses but not as much personality is just not everyone's cup of tea.
that being said, a couple more majors and if anyone wants to crown him GOAT then and there (or Rafa), this Fedfan won't protest. I know who my greatest will always be, but it's close enough now that it's simply a matter of taste.
