Journalist called Novak Djokovic the 'Loser of all time' after Wimbledon defeat

Both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal's domination has somewhat been suppressed by Djokovic in the last few years. Four back-to-back Wimbledon titles speak volumes about his credentials but the player has had the knack of losing finals pretty cheaply. The Serbian has now lost 12 Grand Slam finals, the most in tennis history.

Recently a reporter named Nebojsa Sofranac hogged the limelight with his staunch criticism of Djokovic. He named him the tennis star "LOAT" which turns out to be loser of all time. He took to social media to dissect Djokovic's display in the Wimbledon final. 

"What did you do to him, Carlitos? So many illegal crazy volleys, slices and bombs that should be banned. And to inflame so much anger among lumberjacks who don't even know how to count games, but know enough to curse a 20-year-old boy who amazed the world? How many shepherds will stop watching tennis and cry in anguish on my wall? The Spaniard has given Novak a new nickname. LOAT, as many as 12 lost finals, the most in the Open Era, he is the 'loser of all times'."

But with no more restrictions in place, the 23 time Grand Slam holder confirmed he will return to New York in a bid for his record 24th Grand Slam title
