Novak Đoković to receive state honor

Come on Danilo. Honestly, tennis is a glorious sport I wish you wouldn't be so negative about it and give it a chance. I know many people who aren't keen on sport generally but think tennis is great. If nothing else its filled with the type of drama most other sports can't compare with. Apart from the phyisical exertion, its a utterly mental sport - one is completely alone with one's thoughts. No speaking with coaches, no team mates. Its compelling, particularly if you have player you support.

I'd like to think that the nature of your cynicism in this point is because politicians are trying to drape themselves in his success, hoping it will rub off on them. Thats a legitimate point.

By the way there is scope for cynicism of the kind you have within the sport. You may remember Andre Agassi, he wrote a book which I have started listening to. In the book he professes to hate tennis and the straining physical effect it had upon him. Very refreshing to read an honest book, rather than read some sugar coated nonsense.

Danilo is such a bitter and sad person. Every positive thing reported about Serbs just shut down, it really is sad and pathetic to see. The order is for civilian or military service, he is recieving it for the outstanding civilian service he has done for Serbia by representing the country is such a positive way and with huge success, what is so difficult about that for you to see? I'm sorry there are no awards for those wanting to sell off the country by the Serbian state, such awards come in the form of a paycheck from the US.

Well done Djokovic, truly deserved.

I like this guy, and honor his achievements, but I'm getting a little Djokoviced out. But what other accomplishments have we in Serbia to brag about? Our government has sold the country away to foreigners, and trying hard to give our land away. The would probably even sell Nole if they could.

Hey Danilo!

I guess there isn't much going on in your life and therefore you hang around a Serbian news site fishing with dead bait.

Too bad for Danilo there is no award given for exploitation of cheap Serbian labour, profit on the backs of people who one belittles and makes fun of, and self hating hypocricy. He would win hands down, just slightly ahead of his hero Ceda Jovanovic.
Nole, well done, well deserved, and keep up the fantastic tennis!
Cheers!!

I agree that our government and most of the opposition are pretty bland but we have our sporting success. Nole is ranked No.1, we have two in the top 10 (Janko Tipsarevic ranked 9th) and 3 in the top 25 (Viktor Troicki ranked 24th).

I think our Albanian friends must be upset that church burning and grave desecrating are not sports as they would surely be world champions.

Finally, it's a shame we don't have an ignore function here so I can filter out another world champion, someone who has mastered the art of arrogance and ignorance. Eh Danilo? Life must be very blissful.

I'm sorry Winston. But the reason Serbia is selling out to foreigners is that all the other Serbs have packed their bags and run off to live in Canada or Chicago or Australia, G.B. etc. From there they spit and snipe about their ex country.
Well done Novak, you are helping to raise the profile of the this place. (Serbia)

I'm sure Danilo has received many awards in his time. From friends, neighbours, even former classmates. It's called "The Biggest A-hole Award". Sitting in font of a computer in your mama's basement, in underpants, and yelling at her to make you something to eat is no way to go through life son.

I guess there's not much happening in a country when it's giving it's highest orders to someone (a non-resident) who's learned how to hit a ball very skillfully
