Jules Marie accuses Djokovic of 'nasty behavior' off-court

French tennis player Jules Marie has recently made serious claims about Novak Djokovic's behavior off the court. Marie worked as Djokovic's hitting partner in the past and described Djokovic as "nasty" during their training sessions. Marie said that during their five practice sessions, Djokovic displayed aggressive behavior. He pointed out that if the ball was not hit exactly where Djokovic wanted, he would react negatively. Marie recalled an incident where Djokovic refused to play a ball served to him, saying it should be served by his coach instead. In a change of tone, Marie noted that their interaction at the Australian Open was different. At the tournament, he was no longer a hitting partner but a competitor. Marie mentioned that Djokovic acted better because he was aware of the cameras and Marie's popular YouTube channel, which has around 130,000 subscribers. Djokovic will likely hope to downplay these remarks and focus on his upcoming matches. He is preparing to compete in the 2025 Miami Open after an unexpected early loss at the Indian Wells tournament.
